A group calling itself Friends of Julius Debrah on Saturday 16,2023 embarked on a solidarity walk in support of appointment of Julius Debrah as running mate for John Dramani Mahama in 2024 general election.
Participants included Constituency chairmen in Eastern region, Regional Youth Organizers from Ashanti, Eastern and Bono Regions as well as some parliamentary candidates.
The solidarity walk which started from Ayi Mensah Toll boot to Peduase Lodge was also participated by hundreds of members and grassroot supporters of the NDC who similarly concur that Julius Debrah be considered for the position.
Addressing the media to climax the walk at Peduase Lodge, the New Juaben South Constituency Chairman for the NDC Selassie Amuzu who spoke on behalf of the constituency chairmen averred that Julius Debrah is the right candidate to partner John Dramani Mahama to wrestle power from the NPP in 2024.
He said Julius Debrah is a successful businessman and politician who has risen through the ranks in his political career and became regional chairman, minister ,and chief of staff therefore with such experience coupled with his competence and youthfulness ,he is perfect person to be considered for the position.
He however stated that, the constituency chairmen are ready to work with anyone appointed running mate to ensure the party secures victory.
The Ashanti Regional Youth Organizer for the NDC Osman Abdullah Nabali flanked by Bono Regional Youth Organizer observed that ,the ruling New Patriotic Party will obviously elect Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as flagbearer which may affect the NDC votes in the Northern sector therefore the NDC also needs a formidable running mate from the southern sector to maximize votes particularly among the youth.
This he believes Julius Debrah is the right person.
“now that it is obvious that NPP will be choosing Bawumia as their Presidential candidate,it is obvious that they will be two from the north and they will be campaigning at the north .So it will be something that John Dramani Mahama focus will be at the North.If that will be the case then it means we need somebody who can also work in Southern sector and the middle belt to make sure he canvass more votes for the party in coming 2024 elections”.
Convener of the solidarity walk, Richard Nyarko Etornam who is Eastern Regional Youth Organizer of NDC said Julius Debrah has the full support of NDC youth to become running mate because he represents the aspirations of the youth .
He stressed the youth of the party will be very energized if Julius Debrah is considered and given the opportunity to become running mate.
