The Upper West Regional Executive Committee of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has commended the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the party for nominating His Excellency President John Dramani Mahama for approval as the party’s Presidential candidate for the 2012 general election.

The Regional Executive Committee gave the commendation in a statement issued and signed by Abubakar Mutiu-Rahaman, Regional Youth Organizer of the party.

It noted that by the nomination, NEC had demonstrated its belief in the vision and good judgment of the late President Atta Mills.
