The National Executive Committee (NEC) and the National Council (NC) of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) are convening today to explore potential candidates for the party’s flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia
This pivotal meeting centers on identifying individuals deemed effective partners for Dr. Bawumia, with a key focus on securing victory in the upcoming 2024 election.
Insider information obtained by Citi News suggests that prominent figures like Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh (Energy Minister), Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum (Education Minister), and Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu (Majority Leader) are strongly under consideration for this significant role.
Their qualifications and capabilities are being carefully weighed in the context of enhancing the party’s chances in the electoral contest.
This selection process aligns with the NPP’s constitutional guidelines, mandating the identification of a running mate twelve months ahead of a major election, provided the President is not the designated candidate. With President Akufo-Addo currently abroad, Vice President Dr. Bawumia is set to preside over these crucial discussions during today’s meetings. The adherence to party protocols underscores the commitment to a transparent and systematic approach in the decision-making process.
As the party strategically plans for the future, the significance of today’s deliberations cannot be overstated. The NPP’s meticulous consideration of potential running mates demonstrates a commitment to democratic principles and a thorough exploration of candidates who can contribute significantly to the party’s success in the 2024 elections.
