Bawumia Officially Informs NPP On Selection Of NAPO As Running Mate

The 2024 presidential candidate of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mahamudu Bawumia on Monday met with national officers of the NPP to formally inform them about the selection of Energy Minister, Matthew Opoku Prempeh also known as Napo as his running mate.

The move comes barely six months to the 2024 general election, which is seen as a straight fight between John Mahama of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the NPP’s Bawumia.

Sharing the news on Facebook on Monday (1 July), National Organiser of the NPP Henry Nana Boakye, said “H.E Bawumia has today, 1 July, 2024, formally informed National Officers of the NPP of his nomination of Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh (NAPO) as his running mate in the upcoming 2024 General Elections.”

“The meeting which occured at the NPP’s headquarters in Asylum Down follows an earlier presentation of Dr. Opoku Prempeh’s nomination to the majority caucus of Parliament.”

“The nomination however, awaits the decision of the National Council which is the final approving organ of the NPP” Boakye posted on Facebook.
