KUMASI, Ghana (Reuters) - Ghana's ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) party nominated interim president John Dramani Mahama on Thursday as its candidate in a presidential election to be held in December.
Mahama, who replaced the late president John Atta Mills when he died last month, was the party's intended candidate but was confirmed by a vote of the party congress in the town of Kumasi.
