“Console Our Soul” With Doe Adjaho As Running Mate - Volta Youth Demand From Prez Mahama

President John Dramani Mahama and Rt. Hon. Doe Adjaho The pressure on President John Dramani Mahama to choose his Running Mate has been deepened by a group calling itself Volta Youth For Development (VYFD) in the Volta Region. Volta Youth For Development upon the NDC’s constitutional requirement has demanded from President John Mahama to select the Speaker of Parliament, Rt. Hon. Doe Adjaho as his Running Mate to secure victory for the party in the 2016 elections. According to the group, per their research, Ghanaians have seen Amissah-Arthur to be very incompetent as the Vice President to President Mahama; believing that the Vice President pair again with President Mahama for the 2016 general elections can only reduce the votes of NDC drastically. The Volta Youth again stated that the NDC has neglected the Voltarians when it comes to development and ministerial position assignments despite their continuous strong support for the party; hence the clarion call on the President and all NDC executives to console them with the Running Mate position. The pressure group however indicated that Rt. Hon. Doe Adjaho has no hand in this demand, but they have chosen to nominate him to be considered for this position. “…because we see him as the best out of all the Voltarians in NDC, which has been proven through a research of ours with respect to a majority of Voltarians in and out of the Volta Region,” the statement stated. Read The Full Statement From Volta Youth For Development: MAKE DOE ADJAHO THE RUNNING MATE-VOLTA YOUTH FOR DEVELOPMENT We the members of Volta Youth For Development demand from President Mahama to select the Speaker of Parliament, Rt. Hon. Doe Adjaho as his running mate to secure victory for the party in the 2016 elections. The fact is, Ghanaians have seen Amissah Arthur to be very incompetent as the Vice President to President Mahama and so, our believe which has sprung out of a research is that, his pair again with President Mahama as his running mate can only reduce the votes of NDC drastically. Secondly, with the continuous strong support of NDC by Voltarians despite our continuous neglect by the NDC when it comes to development and ministerial position assignments, we as a result deem it fit for the President and all the national executives of the NDC party to at least “console our soul” with this running mate position. Even though Rt. Hon. Doe Adjaho has no hand in our demand, we have chosen to nominate him to be considered for this position because we see him as the best out of all the Voltarians in NDC, which has been proven through a research of ours with respect to a majority of Voltarians in and out of the Volta region. We hope our request will be given a consideration by the leadership of our party, NDC.
