Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), is poised to introduce his campaign team to the National Executive Committee and National Council of the party today, February 19, 2024.
The unveiling of the campaign team marks a significant step in the party’s preparation for the upcoming general election.
Following the meeting, the names of the campaign team members are anticipated to be disclosed, ushering in a new phase of strategic planning and coordination.
Among the notable figures expected to be announced is the potential appointment of the former Minister of Local Government and Rural Development, Dan Botwe, as the campaign manager for the 2024 general election.
Mr. Dan Botwe’s potential role as campaign manager comes on the heels of a recent reshuffle initiated by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, which saw him and other ministers relieved of their positions.
While the correlation between the reshuffle and Botwe’s potential appointment remains uncertain, it underscores the evolving dynamics within the NPP ahead of the electoral contest.
Insiders reveal that the decision to consider Dan Botwe for the campaign manager position followed extensive consultations with key stakeholders and members of the party. Despite speculation surrounding the timing of the appointment in light of recent political developments, sources close to Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia affirm that the selection process reflects a concerted effort to harness the collective expertise and support within the NPP ranks.
The unveiling of the campaign team signals a strategic maneuver aimed at fortifying the party’s electoral prospects and galvanizing support ahead of the impending polls.
