“The only way I, will campaign for the NPP is for Dr Opoku Prempeh to be named as the running mate to Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh. That will be the most credible ticket to beat John Mahama” Kennedy Agyapong has said.
Energy Minister Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, also known as NAPO, has been named by Assin Central MP and former NPP presidential candidate Kennedy Agyapong as the perfect running mate for NPP flagbearer Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to win the party’s 2024 presidential election.
Speaking to party delegates in the Bantama Constituency of the Ashanti region prior to the party’s primaries on January 27, Agyapong commended NAPO for its commitment to the party and its capacity to engage with regular members.
“If you go to NAPO’s office, you will be marvelled at the way he relates with party people. He takes care of party people. If we had 5 of his kind in the party, NPP would have been better off and far ahead of the NDC.”
“Given the current circumstances where many of our members are despondent, selecting NAPO will be the only way to bring back the needed energy for victory in the 2024 elections,” he said.
Kennedy Agyapong declared that the flagbearer’s choice of the Energy Minister as his running mate is the only way he would support the NPP in the 2024 elections.
The grassroots and rank-and-file of the New Patriotic Party are thought to hold this stance, according to the former NPP presidential candidate who received over 30% of the total votes cast in the NPP presidential Primary. They feel that the flagbearer should choose an Ashanti region native for his running mate. Therefore, the Energy Minister is the only person who meets every requirement.
