The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, has put a positive spin on the numeral 8 that was picked by the General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress’s (NDC) Fifi Kwetey during the balloting for positions on the ballot paper for the December 7 presidential election.
Mr Bagbin believes that the 8 is a symbol of great fortune for the party’s flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama.
He posted on his Facebook page thus, “8 is excellence. Don’t break it. Choose it!”
