In a statement issued on Friday, the party's regional secretariat pledged it's support of John Mahama's choice, which has also received huge endorsement from the party's National Council of Elders and the National Executive Committee (NEC).

"We have always believed that with JM as our flagbearer victory was beckoning but your nomination has made victory 2020 double sure."
