Vice President Kwesi Amissah-Arthur has stated that out of all the Presidential candidate's in the country, President John Mahama stands tall looking at how he has been able to overcome the numerous challenges that have confronted the nation during his tenure.

Mr. Amissah-Arthur made the statement Tuesday 6th September 2016 in Mole in the Northern region when he inaugurated the Northern Regional NDC Election Task Force.

Minister of Food and Agriculture, Alhaji Mohammed Limuna Muniru has been appointed as the chair of the Election Task Force.

The Vice President further stated that President Mahama's the track record puts him in a better stead ahead of the other candidates in the December polls this year.

He charged the task force to work hard in order to secure victory for the party. Kwesi Amissah-Arthur said out of the 31 seats the NDC won 20 and thus encouraged the team to work together in unity in order to annex the rest of the 11 seats.

This he said would enable the party to win convincingly for President John Mahama in the elections this year.

He further tasked those who have been selected to lead the task force to work hard because they are one of the best materials the party have and must work at the grassroots level.
