The 2024 Running mate to NPP flagbearer Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh says he has no intention of contesting for office in the 2028 elections.

The declaration comes ahead of a National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in Accra, where key party decisions are expected to be discussed.

Speaking to journalists on the sidelines of a party engagement, Napo, as he is affectionately called, dismissed speculation that he was positioning himself for a future presidential bid.

"Me personally, I am not running in 2028," he said.

According to him, ensuring the unity of the party is paramount adding that he is committed seeing that through.

The NEC meeting is expected to outline key strategies for the post-elections and address concerns about party unity and performance.

Former President Akufo-Addo, former Vice President Dr Mahamadu Bawumia have already arrived at Alisa Hotel for upcoming meeting.

The NPP suffered defeat at the hands of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the just-ended general elections.
