NDC Running Mate: I Have Not Asked Anybody To Lobby For Me – Togbe Afede

Togbe Afede XIV, the Agbogbomefia of Asogli, has expressed gratitude to those calling on him to become the Running Mate to Ex-President and presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress, John Dramani Mahama.

Togbe Afede’s name has popped up in the list of potential candidates for the position and clarifying issues in a statement sighted by Ghmessenger, the Asogli State Council states that the bid for the Chief was initiated by a group called “Change Makers Forum”.

“A group of people who identified themselves as “Change Makers Forum” were the latest to approach Togbe to consider joining President Mahama as his running mate for the 2024 Presidential election”, the statement said.

Though acknowledging the endorsement, Togbe Afede says he has not asked any person to lobby for him.

“Togbe considers it a great honour that a group of well-intentioned professionals called on him to express their trust in him, and thus their desire for him to be the next Vice President of Ghana. But Togbe has not mandated anybody or group to “lobby” for his choice as running mate.”

This notwithstanding, he expressed interest in serving the nation when called upon..

“Togbe responded that, as a patriotic citizen, he would not reject any opportunity to serve the country, but the choice of a running mate is the prerogative of the flag bearer who already knows him very well.”
