The Campaign Chairman for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the 2024 elections, Dan Kwaku Botwe, has affirmed that there is no pressure on the party's flagbearer, Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia, to announce his running mate.
Speaking to reporters in Kumasi, Dan Botwe reassured that Dr. Bawumia will unveil his chosen candidate at the appropriate moment.
He emphasised that there is no urgency for Dr. Bawumia to select a running mate, stating that the process poses no challenge for either the candidate or the party.
Dan Botwe further stated that Dr. Bawumia will announce a running mate in due course, ensuring that the chosen individual resonates with the party's members and aids in retaining power in the upcoming general elections.
‘We have not mentioned a particular candidate and no such discussion has come up but finding a running mate has never been our problem. It has never been a contentious issue for us.”
With Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia positioned as the flagbearer and various preparatory measures underway, such as the establishment of campaign teams, attention is now directed towards the pivotal task of selecting a running mate.
This decision has sparked intense lobbying within the party, particularly within the Ashanti Region.
Analysts frequently mention several individuals as potential candidates, including Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, Joseph Osei Owusu, and esteemed clergyman and former Chairman of the Church of Pentecost, Prof. Opoku Onyinah.
Furthermore, Chief of Staff Frema Osei Opare and Communications Minister Ursula Owusu Ekulful have emerged as notable contenders in the running mate selection process for Dr. Bawumia.
