A senior member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe, has made a shocking claim that the party’s flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, was not allowed to choose his own running mate for the upcoming elections in December. Apexnewsgh reports
Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe alleged that Dr. Bawumia was forced to accept Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, the Energy Minister, as his running mate, despite concerns over the Energy Minister’s perceived arrogant demeanor. This claim has sparked intense debate within the party, with many questioning the suitability of Dr. Opoku Prempeh for the role.
In an interview with 3FM on Thursday, June 27 monitored by this platform, Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe reiterated his earlier statement that Dr. Bawumia would not be able to make his own decisions, including choosing his running mate. He questioned why Dr. Bawumia was not given the same discretion as previous NPP leaders, including former President Akufo-Addo, who had the freedom to choose their running mates.
Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe cited examples of former presidents, including Rawlings, Kufuor, Atta Mills, and Mahama, who all picked their own running mates without interference. He wondered why Dr. Bawumia was being treated differently, sparking concerns about the party’s internal dynamics and decision-making processes.
This development has added a new layer of intrigue to the NPP’s internal politics, with many watching closely to see how the situation unfolds.
