Former Auditor-General, Daniel Yaw Domelevo, has unequivocally dispelled rumors linking him to a potential role as the running mate for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the upcoming elections.
In an interview on TV XYZ on October 24, 2023, Domelevo firmly stated that he has no political aspirations and sees his role more aligned with correction and accountability than politics.
Addressing the speculation about his possible political future, he declared, “I would like to make it clear that on the political one where somebody is talking about running mate, I am not a political animal. I don’t think any party that makes the mistake of choosing me as a running mate will win the election because on the platform where we are campaigning, I will be correcting them, and we are not going to be successful.”
The genesis of these rumors can be traced to Ghanaian media personality Paul Adom-Otchere, who alleged mounting pressure on former President John Dramani Mahama to reconsider his 2020 running mate, Professor Jane Nana Opoku-Agyemang, and contemplate Daniel Yaw Domelevo as his running mate in the forthcoming 2024 general elections.
This recommendation is reportedly founded on the belief in Domelevo’s integrity regarding corruption allegations. Adom-Otchere revealed that numerous voices have urged President Mahama to consider Domelevo as a means to address and dispel all corruption charges against him.
Speaking on his Good Evening Ghana Show on Metro TV on June 10, 2023, Adom-Otchere noted the intensifying pressure on President Mahama and suggested that Professor Kwamena Ahwoi had expressed the need for Mahama to retain Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang.
