Video: Dr Bawumia Has Already Made A Decision On His Running Mate – Sammi Awuku Discloses

A senior campaign aide to Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia and Parliamentary candidate for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Akuapem North constituency, Sammi Awuku has disclosed that the governing party’s presidential candidate will soon reveal his running mate for the 2024 general elections

He stated that the flagbearer of the party, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia will declare his running mate by June.

The Director General of the National Lottery Authority (NLA) asserts Dr. Bawumia is deepening his consultation to ensure that they select an individual who will be representative of all the factions in the political party.

Mr Awuku hinted that Dr Bawumia has already made a decision on his running mate, suggesting that the announcement is imminent.

His comments come amid swirling speculation within the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and among political analysts over the apparent delay in naming a running mate, sparking discussions about potential candidates and their implications for the party’s electoral prospects.

“I don’t think we will go beyond next month. I think that the mere fact that people are talking about it means that it is something the people of Ghana are interested in who becomes the running mate. There is no fight over this because we don’t vote to elect people who become running mates.

The National Council has bodies that represent it. You have parliamentary leadership, reps from the regions, the regional chairman, the former president, the sitting president, the Chief of Staff, and former National officers of the party, every region has a representative. If you want to build good consensus you meet these blocs before you go and enter. Because if you’ve not done your work well before you can they can scatter everything.

You have members of the Council of elders, Hon Hackman and his group, who have representation at the National Council. It is a body you don’t meet unprepared. It has happened before in our party. The National Council can decide to throw the name you bring away and give you who they want. But he is clear in his mind about the person or persons he wants to work with. I’m tempted to believe that whoever is in his mind will work with him to ensure success,” he said
