"You can’t have a running mate when you are not yet a candidate," he stated. "We have worked sufficiently and looking for maximum endorsement. You can’t go over 100%. I’m going round and talking to them and asking for their mandate."
"You have to be endorsed first then you can announce who your running mate should be. There is a procedure for naming a running mate."
Meanwhile, the NDC have cleared 98 parliamentary aspirants in the Greater Accra region to contest in the November 7 primaries.
