The Vice Chairman of the Bawumia Campaign Team, Nana Akomea, has stated that Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, will present a name for his running mate to the party’s National Council by the end of June.
This announcement addresses the widespread speculation within the NPP and among political analysts regarding the delay in naming a running mate.
This has sparked discussions about potential candidates and the implications for the party’s electoral strategy.
At a press briefing in Accra, Nana Akomea mentioned that Dr. Bawumia is expected to announce his preferred running mate before the end of the month. He also noted that the campaign team is not yet aware of the selected candidate.
“We advised him to take the time he needed to conduct thorough consultations. Dr. Bawumia was elected around six months ago, so the timing is still reasonable. But I assure you that this June, he will announce his running mate and present the name to the National Council” he stated.
“An announcement is expected before the end of this month, though we are still unsure about the individual who will be selected,” Nana Akoema added.
