NDC RUNNING MATE: Laslie Mensah Tamekloe gets Massive endorsement for Mahama’s Veep Slot

Having received overwhelming endorsement from members of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) and floating voters across the 16 Regions per a survey conducted, it will do good for the NDC’s flagbearer to go for Laslie Mensah Tamekloe as his running Mate for the 2020 election.

 

Deep throat sources told the media that as the next John Mahama-led NDC government inches to another year mandate, the genteel Volta Region born Bookworm, Laslie Mensah Tamekloe must be appointed the Running Mate to match Whoever the Npp will appoint in the coming days.

 

He will bring the founder and all annoyed cadres hearts back to the party,they added.

 

The brouhaha around the choice of who partners Presidential Candidate of the National democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama is about to simmer down as it seems to the public the headcount is over.

 

One of the names getting supports from the grassroots of the party and thousands of the floating Voters and likely to be the running mate to John Mahama is Mr. Laslie Mensah Tamekloe.

 

It has been speculated the hierarchy of the party will announce the name right after the pandemic, and already the signals are clear it’s going to be Laslie Mensah Tamekloe looking at the way the youths, card bearing members and floating voters across the country are doling their supports behind the economic wizard, Mr. Laslie Mensah Tamekloe.

 

Suggested names until this Day were founder’s Daughter, Dr. Zenator Agyamang Rawlings, former Education Minister Professor Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang, Professor Kwesi Botchwey, Dr. Kwabena Dufuor among others but the rotational Map seemed to have settled and Mr. Laslie Mensah Tamekloe is likely to partner John Mahama to face whoever will be the Npp’s flagbearer and their Running mate.
