This will be the second time in a row that John Mahama chooses slot 3 on the ballot
Former President John Mahama chose the third niche after Wednesday's poll for the seven people who hoped to head the National Democratic Congress (NEC) until the 2020 election.
This is the second time that the former president is ranked third after choosing a similar location on the ballot in the 2016 elections.
At the announcement at the party headquarters in Accra, by former Deputy General Secretary Koku Anyidoho, Alban Bagbin took first place, while Nurudeen Idrisu took second place.
Sylvester Mensah, Ekwow Spio-Garbrah, Augustus 'Goosie' Tanoh and Professor Joshua Alabi also took fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh positions respectively.
The seven candidates now have the green light to challenge the vacant flag-bearer post after their elimination by the selection committee.
The aspirants to 2020 NDC flag bearers
Joy News reporter Kwesi Parker-Wilson reports to NDC headquarters in Accra that only three of the seven candidates in the running, Sly Mensah, Alban Bagbin and Nurudeen Iddrissu-, went to ballot.
John Mahama, Ekwow Spio-Garbrah, Augustus 'Goosie' Tanoh and Professor Joshua Alabi were represented by their respective campaign team members.
The pitch is now ready for the February 23 presidential primaries, as the largest opposition party launches into a long running to regain power in the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Although John Mahama is inclined to win the race with very few problems, his campaign team, like the others, has crisscrossed the country in recent months in dialogue with the delegates before the primaries.
