The announcement of the Energy Minister, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh as the running mate of the presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has sparked widespread excitement and optimism among party members and supporters.
Among them is the Deputy Energy Minister, Collins Adomako-Mensah who took to Facebook to express his support and joy over the selection.
“Congratulations sir. The Majority Caucus has officially been notified. Feedback is super positive,” his post read.
Prior to serving as the Energy Minister, Dr Prempeh was the Education Minister when the government’s flagship policy, Free Senior High School was implemented.
His selection as the vice-presidential candidate is seen as a strategic move to bolster the party's campaign with his expertise and leadership qualities.
A recent survey also reveals that the Energy Minister appears to be the preferred choice of the party’s grassroots.
