In a key development ahead of the 2024 elections, Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has presented Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh’s name to President Akufo-Addo as his running mate.
Dr. Opoku Prempeh, widely known as “NAPO,” is a prominent medical doctor and seasoned politician. He currently serves as the Member of Parliament for the Manhyia South constituency in the Ashanti region and holds the position of Minister of Energy.
This move reveals the accuracy of a survey conducted by the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB), which scored Dr. Opoku Prempeh an impressive 77% among the other names suggested. The high rating reflects strong support for Dr. Opoku Prempeh within the party and among voters, validating the NPP’s choice and bolstering confidence in his potential to significantly enhance their 2024 campaign.
The NPP flagbearer is scheduled to formally present Dr. Opoku Prempeh’s name to the party’s council in the coming days. If the council approves the nomination, a formal announcement will follow, marking a significant step in the NPP’s campaign for the 2024 elections.
This anticipated announcement has generated considerable interest and discussion among political analysts and the public alike, as it could greatly influence the dynamics of the upcoming electoral contest.
