It is now official – The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has announced Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, popularly known as NAPO, to partner Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, as running mate, in the December 2024 general election. The NPP’s National Executive Council (NEC) unanimously approved NAPO’s nomination, pointing at his qualifications to effectively take up that role.
Mr Richard Ahiagbah, the NPP’s Director of Communications, praised NAPO’s leadership qualities, describing him as compassionate, bold, assertive, and results-driven. In a post on X, Richard Ahiagbah said NAPO’s contributions to initiatives like the Free SHS policy have positively impacted young Ghanaians and their communities.
“NAPO has been a compassionate leader. He is bold, assertive, and driven, and the results of his work are evident in the lives of many young Ghanaians, their parents, and communities who have directly or indirectly benefited from the Free SHS policy, among others.”
Mr. Ahiagbah also criticized the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for misrepresenting NAPO’s qualities as arrogance, attempting to divert attention from their shortcomings.
He emphasized that the 2024 presidential election presents a distinct choice between the former President John Mahama and Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia
He added, “ Let us focus Ghana’s attention on the two candidates and ignore the invitation to trivialize the discussion. It’s possible with Bawumia-NAPO.”
