According to him, Prof. Alabi is the most “marketable personality” to lead the NDC into the 2020 election.
“I want to say that after several reflections on the way forward for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), myself and my good brother Ambassador Victor Gbeho conducted few investigations and came to the conclusion that the most marketable personality that could carry us into the year 2020, as a Flagbearer is Prof. Joshua Alabi,” he told Accra-based Citi FM.
He added: “We have found he has all it takes, his achievements, his attitude towards the party, and a host of other things.
“Another fact of the issue is we need to market someone that can lead the party for 8 years so we came to that conclusion.”
Mr Dzirasah’s endorsement comes after another NDC stalwart, Ambassador Victor Gbeho, back Mr Alabi’s candidature.
The NDC on Thursday asked aspiring presidential candidates to write to the party expressing interest to contest.
Mr Sylvester Mensah, the former Chief Executive Officer of the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA), wrote to the party announcing his candidature, saying he is the best candidate to capture power for the party.
