A group comprising polling stations, constituency executives, and the tertiary wing executives of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Volta Region is endorsing Energy Minister Dr. Mathew Opoku Prempeh as their preferred running mate for the 2024 presidential race.
The group describes the Member of Parliament for Manhyia South as a towering political figure capable of promoting harmony within the party, making him more suitable for the role.
The presidential candidate of the governing NPP, Dr. Bawumia, requested additional time a couple of days ago to nominate his running mate to the party’s council of elders.
However, the group, calling itself 'Grassroots for NAPO,' insists that the Energy Minister and four-term MP will be the best choice for the party. Lawal Kayode is the convener of the group.
Meanwhile, NPP has granted Dr Bawumia more time to consult and choose a running mate for the 2024 election.
This was announced by the General Secretary of the party, Justin Frimpong Kodua, at a press conference in Accra.
Dr Bawumia had a deadline to submit his choice of a running mate to the governing party's highest decision-making body today – December 6.
