The presidential candidate of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama says his running mate would soon be announced as party structures have been consulted to finalize the process.

Mahama has been under pressure to disclose his running mate as the country nears its general presidential and parliamentary elections.

Mahama had earlier responded to the critics that, it was no use in naming a running mate to contest with him in the general elections amidst the outbreak of the novel coronavirus in Ghana.
