Former Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC), Alex Mould has denied rejecting an offer to partner flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama in the 2020 polls.

According to Mr Mould, he has not received any such offer from ex president Mahama.

Last week, the New Publisher Newspaper reported that two members of the NDC; Mr Alex Mould and Mr Alhassan Andani turned down the offer to be the running mate of Mr. Mahama.

But in a swift rebuttal issued through a statement issued on Saturday, Mr Mould said no meeting of that sort happened between him and former President Mahama.

“I wish to state for the record that I have not been approached by the NDC flagbearer for the 2020 Presidential election to play any such role. I could therefore not have turned down an offer that has not been made to me.” the statement said

The statement signed by Mr Mould indicated that he is ready to continue serving the party adding that he is “working very hard to ensure that John Dramani Mahama and the NDC, the party that I love and which I have loyally served since I left the public service, win the 2020 Presidential and Parliamentary elections.”

My attention has been drawn to a publication in the ‘New Publisher’ newspaper dates Friday 2nd August, 2019, which has been carried by other news portals and on social media; to the effect that I have turned down an offer after being approached by the former President and NDC flag bearer for the 2020 Presidential elections, John Dramani Mahama, to “pair him” for the elections.

I wish to state for the record that I have NOT been approached by the NDC flagbearer for the 2020 Presidential election to play any such role. I could therefore not have turned down an offer that has not been made to me.
I am however working very hard to ensure that John Dramani Mahama and the NDC, the party that I love and which I have loyally served since I left the public service, win the 2020 Presidential and Parliamentary elections.

That being said, let’s bear in mind the choice of running mate shall be decided  by H.E John Dramani Mahama in accordance with National Democratic Congress’s constitution.

Signed
Alexander Kofi-Mensah MOULD
