Bawumia asks for more time to select Running mate

The 2024 flagbearer for the New Patriotic Party, Alhaji Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has requested for more time to present a proposed running-mate name to the National Council.

According to the Vice President, his election was done just last month, hence he needs a bit of time to continue with his cconsultations to submit a proposed name.

Addressing the media today, Wednesday December 6, 2023, after an in-camera meeting with the National Executive Committee (NEC) and the National Council (NC) of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), the General Secretary of the party, Lawyer Justin Kodua-Frimpong indicated the request was unanimously agreed by the National Council.

He explained that per the NPP’s constitution, the selection of a running mate must be done 12 months prior to a major election if the President is not the candidate, hence, in the appropriate time, the flagbearer is expected to present to them the proposed name for running-mate.
