One of the lead witnesses for the NDC in the 2020 Election Petition at the Supreme Court, Rojo Mettle-Nunoo has thrown support behind the bid of Dr. Kwabena Duffour to lead the NDC as flagbearer in the upcoming 2024 General Elections.

According to the former Deputy Health Minister, Dr. Kwabena Duffour is the best fit as far as the NDC flagbearer role is concerned considering his in-depth knowledge and experience in economic management.

Speaking on Accra-based Citi TV on Thursday, February 23, 2023 after nomination forms were picked on behalf of Dr. Duffour, Rojo Mettle-Nunoo stressed that considering the current economic difficulties, there is the need for an experienced economist to be chosen to lead the NDC.

He therefore indicated that former Minister of Finance stands tall among other aspirants that his integrity and track-record in Ghana’s politics is unparalleled.

“The current challenges of governance in the country border on leadership and also on the aspirations of Ghanaians and protecting the vulnerable and I seriously believe that Dr. Kwabena Duffour is the best person to achieve that. His track record as Governor of the Bank of Ghana and other positions he had occupied made Rawlings trust him to make him his Finance Minister. As Minister of Finance, Mills also recognized him and due to his intellect, the Mills government never borrowed from any external source,” Rojo Mettle-Nunoo narrated.

“This is a man of integrity, and he is the man that the grassroots of the NDC and Ghana need now. He makes economic sense, and he makes macroeconomics sense… The best person who can take us [Ghana] out of this economic quagmire is Dr. Kwabena Duffuor. The grassroots know his calibre and know his capabilities and once he gets the nod, he will change the economic fortunes of the country,” the NDC man further stated.
