Her move has been endorsed by the PPP founder and Presidential candidate, Dr. Papa Kwesi Nduom.

In an interview on Accra-based Citi FM, Dr. Nduom said Ghanaians need competent people to represent them in Parliament, hence his decision to endorse his former running mate.

“We need some of our best people in Parliament and Eva Lokko is one of the best that we have in this country; as a professional who has worked with an international organization, as someone who rose to become director general of GBC, and as someone who is working to employ and help the youth to develop,” he said.

He added that “in Ghana, anybody can get up and say they want to be president, we don’t know where they come from. It has hurt this country. We have asked the people in PPP to stay on the ground and be grounded.”

It is unclear who will partner Dr. Nduom in the 2016 presidential elections since he has given indications that he is looking to form a coalition with equal partnership or majority and minority partnership to win the election and form government come January 2017.
