The New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, will meet today, July 4, with the party’s National Council (NEC) to discuss his choice of running mate for the general elections on December 7.
Energy Minister Dr. Mathew Opoku Prempeh is said to have been Dr. Bawumia’s running partner.
He will be asked to defend Dr. Prempeh’s suitability for the position at the meeting.
In order to discuss Dr. Prempeh’s nomination, Dr. Bawumia met with President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo on June 25.
He then formally communicated his decision to the Majority Caucus of the Parliament and the leadership of the NPP.
Both inside and outside the NPP, opinions on the nomination of the Manhyia South MP have been divided; some have praised the decision, while others have voiced criticism.
