In what could be a game-changing move for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) ahead of the 2024 elections, Senior Political Science lecturer at the University of Ghana, Dr. Kwame Asah-Asante, has proposed Energy Minister Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh as the most suitable choice for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s running mate.
Dr. Asah-Asante highlighted Dr. Opoku Prempeh’s exceptional competence in various roles as a key factor in his endorsement. He expressed confidence that Dr. Opoku Prempeh’s inclusion on the ticket would enhance Dr. Bawumia’s electoral prospects.
The endorsement comes following Vice President Dr. Bawumia’s successful clinching of the NPP’s flagbearer position on November 4, 2023, ahead of the upcoming December polls. While the Vice President has yet to officially announce his running mate, analysts have been speculating on potential candidates.
Alongside Dr. Opoku Prempeh, other names frequently mentioned as potential running mates for Dr. Bawumia include Dr. John Kumah, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, Joseph Osei Owusu, Prof. Opoku Onyinah, Chief of Staff Frema Osei Opare, and Communications Minister Ursula Owusu Ekulful.
Dr. Asah-Asante emphasized Dr. Opoku Prempeh’s leadership qualities and track record, suggesting that his selection would be a prudent decision for Dr. Bawumia. The move could potentially solidify the NPP’s position and pave the way for a successful campaign in the upcoming elections.
