NPP HAS AGREED FOR BAWUMIA’S RUNNING MATE TO COME FROM ASHANTI REGION – First Deputy Speaker

First Deputy Speaker Joseph Osei-Owusu has joined the chorus of voices advocating for the selection of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s running mate from the Ashanti region.

The call comes amidst heightened competition among members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) regarding who will be chosen as the vice-presidential candidate to accompany the newly elected flagbearer, Dr. Bawumia.

Names that have emerged so far are Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh; the Minister for Energy, Majority Leader, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, First Deputy Speaker, Joseph Osei -Owusu and Education Minister, Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum.

Speaking in an interview with JoyNews’ Evans Mensah, Mr Osei-Owusu confirmed that it is generally agreed for the running mate for the newly elected party’s flagbearer to be chosen from the Ashanti region.

This, the Bekwai MP who has also been tipped to be the running mate, says it is the only solution to the party winning the 2024 general election.

“It is generally agreed in the party that if Bawumia wins, his running mate should come from the Ashanti region,” he said.

Asked whether Dr Bawumia has consented to that agreement, he replied “I think so.”
