Speaking on JoyPrime TV’s Prime Morning Show on Wednesday, Mr Kpebu said he would like to see Finance Minister Ato Forson emerge as the party’s future flagbearer and Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa as his running mate.

Mr Kpebu believes that either the Finance Minister or the Foreign Affairs Minister would be the best choice to lead the party in the 2028 general elections.
