A two-page resolution adopted by the NEC members reads:
“The National Executive Committee at its emergency meeting on the 26th day of July 2012, held at the Institute of Local Government Studies , Accra in respect of the creation of a vacancy of a flag-bearer of the NDC hereby resolve as follows:
That a special delegates congress to endorse the leader of the NDC, H.E. John Dramani Mahama as a flag-bearer of the NDC to contest the 2012 Presidential elections in accordance with the due process of the party’s constitution to be conveyed not in less than 1st September, 2012.”
The party has however set September 1 as the date the party would go for its special delegates congress to outdoor him to the entire NDC body".
President Mahama will thus slug it out with the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Presidential Candidate, Nana Addo Danquah Akufo-Addo; People's National Convention (PNC) Flagbearer, Hassan Ayariga; Convention People's Party (CPP) Leader, Dr. Abu Sakara and Progressive Peoples Party (PPP)candidate, Dr. Paa Kwesi Ndoum.
President Mills' sudden death on Tuesday, left vacancies not only at the presidency, but also on the NDC’s presidential ticket. Mr. Dramani Mahama, the former Vice-President, was sworn into office hours later, in accordance with Article 60 (6 -10) of the 1992 Constitution.
But the void in the presidential slot of the NDC remain unfilled.
The NDC executives who were present include the National Chairman, Kwabena Agyei, General Secretary, Johnson Asiedu -Nketia, Foreign Affairs Minister, Alhaji Mohammed Mumuni, National Propaganda Secretary, Richard Quarshigah, Minister of Agric, Kwesi Awhoi, Attorney General Ben Kumbour.but the founder of the party Ex President Rawlings wasn't at the NEC meeting though
