Director of Communications and Spokesperson for Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s campaign, Denis Miracle Aboagye has emphasised that the NPP flagbearer was certain of who to select as running mate before he decided to run as flagbearer.
Mr Aboagye stated that he is only following the NPP’s rules which has been that the running mate should be nominated in consultation with the National Council who would ratify approval otherwise.
Speaking to the media, he said, Dr. Bawumia as a person has been clear in his mind who he is nominating, long before he was elected on November 4th during the presidential primaries but what is left now is for the time to be due.
His comments come after a National Investigative Bureau survey revealed that Energy Minister, Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh is widely preferred among party members to be the running mate to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, Dr Mahamadu Bawumia.
Miracles Aboagye again said the necessity of selecting a “politically correct” running mate for the New Patriotic Party’s flagbearer is the one they’re looking for.
He noted that the running mate of Dr Bawumia must bring substantial votes to the table and effectively complement Bawumia’s governance efforts once in power because these are the two key or critical ingredients and these two things are what is driving him (Bawumia).
