The Chairman of Tema West constituency of the New Patriotic Party NPP Mr. Kwasi Opoku Bosompem has hinted that Dr Bawumia will name his running mate by next.
Speaking on plan B FM’s morning show NKOSUONSEM hosted by Obidehye Kofi Sekyi, the Tema west NPP Chairman emphasized that Dr. Bawumia has to uphold his reputation as a leader with a clear vision and to demonstrate the courage to select a running mate whom he believes is best suited to join him in contesting the 2024 presidential race.
Mr. Bosompem stressed that evidence abounds through experiences from Ghana’s political history indicates that since the inception of the fourth republic, any presidential candidate who succumbs to pressures from parochial party groups and members has always plunged their parties into serious electoral doom.
”He said the flag-bearer, His Excellency Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia not to allow any individual or groups, to compel him or lure him into choosing a running mate against his actual or real choice. Allowing yourself to be manipulated in this manner has dire consequences on the party’s victory in this year’s presidential election”.
According to the the chairman the party risks suffering from serious disunity and long-standing cracks in her rank and file should the flag-bearer, for any reason, permit the pressure being mounted on him by the people in the party as well as their hired political analysts and campaigners, to coerce him to select a running mate from their camps, just to satisfy their selfish interests at the expense of the NPP’s victory in the 2024 presidential election.
“Dr Bawumia needs time to choose to a suitable running mate he would be comfortable with as president to make good decisions with as he has been with President Akufo-Addo”, he added.
