Brigitte Dzogbenuku

I voted for Mahama in 2012 – Dzogbenuku
The vice presidential candidate of the Progressive
People’s Party (PPP), Brigitte Dzogbenuku, has
revealed that she voted for the National
Democratic Congress (NDC) in the 2012 elections.

“I voted for the NDC in 2012,” she said on
Wednesday in an interview on personality profile
show, Starr Chat on Starr 103.5 FM.

She, however, explained that in the 2008
elections, she voted for the Convention People’s
Party (CPP) when her presidential candidate, Dr.
Papa Kwesi Nduom was the presidential nominee of
the that party.

But, she did not vote for Dr. Nduom four years
later following his defection from the CPP to form
the PPP to contest the 2012 polls because the PPP
was a newly formed party.

“I had voted for the CPP, when he [Dr. Nduom]
was with the CPP at the time …and I was sourly
disappointed not in the party but in the response
of Ghanaians,” she told Bola Ray, host of Starr
Chatt.

“So, I have voted for Dr. Papa Kwesi Nduom
before,” she added. She described Dr. Nduom’s
defection from the CPP as disappointing but has
always been an advocate of a third force political
party.

So, she was quite happy when the PPP came up, she
said.

Dr. Nduom on Thursday August 4, 2016 named Ms.
Dzogbenuku as his running mate in the December 7
presidential polls.

In her acceptance speech during her unveiling, she
said she was absolutely fit for the job. “I’m
a Ghanaian and I think I’m the best person to
hold this position.”

But, in a separate interview with Joy FM on Friday
August 5 2016, she stated that she feared being
the best vice president Ghana would never had.
