She managed to get a out 3% of the 3000 votes at the time. Even though she had some support, the unprecedented move to challenge a sitting President for the leadership position of the party worked against her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prof Naana Jane Opoku Agyemang is the first female to be selected running mate for a major party that has won political power before. She is much experienced academic, administrator and politician. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source:MyNewsGh.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>National Democratic Congress (NDC) activist Dela Coffie has criticized persons who described former First Lady as overambitious when she sought to be Presidential Candidate of the NDC but are praising the selection of Prof Naana Jane Opoku Agyemang.
