Kennedy Agyapong, the Member of Parliament for Assin Central and former NPP presidential candidate, has endorsed Energy Minister Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, commonly known as NAPO, as the optimal choice for running mate alongside NPP flagbearer Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, with the aim of securing victory in the 2024 elections.
Addressing delegates in the Ashanti region’s Bantama Constituency ahead of the party’s January 27th primaries, Agyapong commended NAPO’s commitment to the party and his ability to connect with ordinary members.
“When you visit NAPO’s office, you will be amazed at the way he interacts with party members. 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 party members feel disheartened, Agyapong asserted that selecting NAPO as the running mate is the key to revitalizing the needed energy for victory in the 2024 elections.
Agyapong emphasized his commitment to supporting the NPP in the 2024 elections under the condition that the flagbearer chooses Dr. Opoku Prempeh as the running mate. He stated, “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 viewpoint aligns with the sentiment of grassroots and rank-and-file members of the New Patriotic Party, who believe that the running mate should hail from the Ashanti region. NAPO, with his comprehensive qualifications, is seen as the candidate who fulfills these criteria.
