The New Patriotic Party (NPP) is set to announce Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, popularly known as Napo, as the running mate for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia in the upcoming elections.
According to party insiders, the official announcement is expected to be made in the coming days, solidifying the party’s strategy for the forthcoming electoral battle.
Dr. Opoku Prempeh, who currently serves as the Minister of Energy, has been a prominent figure in the NPP, known for his dynamic leadership and significant contributions in various ministerial roles.
His selection is anticipated to bolster the party’s appeal, particularly among younger voters and those within the educational sector, where he previously served as Minister of Education.
Party officials believe that Napo’s extensive experience and his reputation for effective governance will complement Dr. Bawumia’s economic expertise, presenting a formidable duo capable of addressing the country’s pressing issues.
The decision follows extensive consultations within the party, aimed at finding a candidate who aligns with the party’s vision and can effectively support the presidential candidate.
This strategic move comes at a crucial time as the NPP prepares to campaign vigorously against the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), which has been vocal about the current administration’s economic management. The announcement of Napo as the running mate is seen as a key step in strengthening the NPP’s electoral prospects.
