Some of the names that have expressed interest in the same position include, Danny Annan, former CEO of Accra Hearts of Oak, Harry Zakour
The rest are Alhaji Sinare and the former Minister of Education Lee Ocran.
The former Attorney General was once tipped to partner the late Prof. John Mills as running in the lead up to 2008 elections.
She was made Attorney General and Minister for Justice when the NDC won that election.
However, Betty Mould Iddrisu resigned from her position after the details of the payment of controversial judgement debt paid to NDC financier, Alfred Woyome became public.
She had been under pressure from opposition NPP and some Ghanaians for her handling of the payment of about GHS58 million to the businessman, Woyome.
