An essential meeting between the flag bearer of the New Patriotic Party, Mahamudu Bawumia, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, and Ashanti Regional Chairman of the NPP, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, has been held to settle differences and strategize ahead of the December 7 elections. This meeting is part of all necessary consultations made by the flag bearer to set the NPP on a sure track to success.
The meeting is preceded by the acceptance of Dr. Opoku Prempeh by President Nana Addo Dankwa and the NPP majority in parliament on Friday, June 28, 2024. Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh is yet to face the National Council of the New Patriotic Party. Meanwhile, endorsements of Bawumia’s running mate have been made by the majority in parliament, affirming full support of Dr. Bawumia’s choice of NAPO as his running mate. According to Majority Leader Alexander Afenyo Markin, the leadership of the Majority met with Dr. Bawumia to discuss his choice of running mate.
“Yes, the leader of our party and flagbearer met with the leadership of Parliament and had an extensive engagement with us, regarding the way forward for the party going into the 2024 elections. The conclusion was that our respected colleague, Dr. Mathew Opoku Prempeh, is his choice for running mate. And that is normally the practice, and out of respect, the caucus would have to be informed and engaged about the decision,” he said to reporters.
