Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, the Member of Parliament for Ablekuma West constituency and Minister of Communications, has dismissed any claims of soliciting media or individuals to promote her candidacy as the running mate to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
The discussion around the nomination of a female running mate for the NPP’s flagbearer has gained momentum, with names like the Chief of Staff Akosua Frema Osei-Opare and the Administrator of the District Assembly Common Fund, Naa Torshie, being mentioned.
Despite her name coming up in the discourse, the Communications Minister clarified that she has never actively expressed interest in becoming Dr. Bawumia’s running mate.
“People may speculate about my name, but I have not told anybody that I am interested in any position. If the flagbearer thinks in his wisdom that I can assist him, why not?” the Communications Minister questioned.
She refuted any claims of soliciting media or individuals to promote her candidacy.
“No media person can ever say that I have contacted them to put my name out there, or anybody for that matter.”
According to her, Dr. Bawumia should be allowed to choose whoever he thinks will best partner him in the upcoming polls.
“I think the flagbearer should be given the space to choose who he thinks can best partner him. It would be great if a female is chosen, and I made this call eight years ago,” Mrs. Owusu-Ekuful added.
