Justin Frimpong Kodua, General Secretary of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), has expressed firm hopes that Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the party's flagbearer, will name his running mate latest by the end of July.
Speaking on the Wednesday, June 5, 2024, edition of Peace FM's 'Kokrokoo', the NPP General Secretary noted that the decision on the running mate will, by all means, not go beyond July.
"I have had conversations with a lot of people, and I have also spoken to Dr. Bawumia. One thing I am very clear in my mind about is that we nominated our running mate in August, but that did not help us. This time, as we aim to 'break the 8', if that is to happen, certain things that did not help us in the past must not be repeated," he stated.
With some six months left until the December 7 general elections, Dr. Bawumia has yet to name a running mate.
The competition for the NPP running mate position is becoming increasingly fierce, with several names emerging.
The likes of Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, and Bryan Acheampong have all emerged as potential choices for the Vice President.
