Assin Central MP and former NPP presidential candidate, Kennedy Agyapong, has thrown his support behind Energy Minister Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, also known as NAPO, as the optimal running mate for NPP flagbearer Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia in the upcoming 2024 elections.
Addressing delegates in the Ashanti region’s Bantama Constituency ahead of the party’s January 27th primaries, Agyapong lauded NAPO’s commitment to the party and his ability to connect with grassroots 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 asserted.
Agyapong further stated that the only condition under which he would actively campaign for the NPP in the 2024 elections is if Dr. Opoku Prempeh is named as the running mate to Dr. Bawumia.
“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.”
This endorsement aligns with a prevailing sentiment among the grassroots and rank-and-file members of the New Patriotic Party, who advocate for the selection of a running mate from the Ashanti region.
Many believe that Dr. Opoku Prempeh, the Energy Minister, is the most suitable candidate who fulfills these criteria.
