Former Deputy Communications Minister Felix Kwakye Ofosu has tipped Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia to win the New Patriotic Party (NPP)’s flagbearer race.
Mr Kwakye Ofosu says the capacity for Dr Bawumia to win the contest is not a surprise.
However, the Abura Asebu-Kwamankese parliamentary candidate for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) insisted that Dr Bawumia cannot win the 2024 polls against former President John Dramani Mahama.
According to him, Dr Bawumia will be a liability to the NPP’s ticket and does not scare the NDC.
In his estimation, former President John Dramani Mahama stands tall and will defeat anyone the ruling party presents.
“You know I am one his fiercest critics but he (Bawumia) may win the NPP presidential primaries. So I won’t be surprised if he does. Yes, he may not win with the margins President Akufo-Addo but he is most likely to win.”
“But he may falter in the may elections in 2024. I don’t know what or how he will win the general elections,” he said in an interview with Metro TV on Tuesday, July 18.
The NPP will elect its flagbearer for the 2024 elections on November 4.
So far, all 10 flagbearer hopefuls have been cleared to contest in the upcoming elections.
The party disclosed this in a press release issued on Wednesday, July 12.
According to the press statement, the Prof Mike Oquaye Vetting Committee approved all 10 candidates after vetting them individually.
The General Secretary of the party, Justin Kodua Frimpong said the Committee made this known in their report pursuant to Article 10(3) of the NPP constitution.
