The ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) will meet today to discuss possible running mates for their flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
The meeting will mainly concentrate on people the party feels can work well with Dr. Bawumia and help win the 2024 election.
Sources close to Citi News indicate that names like Energy Minister Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, Education Minister Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, and Majority Leader Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu are being seriously considered.
- I am not an NDC member – Odododiodoo, the NPP’s parliamentary candidate
- I had four years of excellent standing in NDC-Yarboi on disqualification
The NEC is expected to deliberate on these candidates and formally present its recommendation to the National Council for approval.
This process adheres to the NPP’s constitution, which requires the selection of a running mate 12 months before a major election if the President is not the candidate.
In the absence of President Akufo-Addo, who is currently out of the country, Vice President Dr. Bawumia will chair today’s crucial meetings.
