Former Energy Minister and 2024 NPP running mate, Dr. Matthew Opoku-Prempeh, has officially endorsed Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as the most capable and prepared candidate to lead Ghana.
In an exclusive interview on GHOne TV with Serwaa Amihere on December 18, Dr. Opoku-Prempeh highlighted Bawumia’s experience, intellect, and proven track record within the party as key reasons for his support.
“Of all the candidates, the one who stands tallest, the most prepared and most winnable is Dr. Bawumia. I have supported him long before he contested, and my backing is not motivated by personal ambition but by his capabilities,” he said.
This endorsement aligns with their previous partnership during the 2024 Presidential election, where Dr. Opoku-Prempeh was Bawumia’s running mate.
Dr. Opoku-Prempeh also clarified that his support is not driven by expectations of appointment should Bawumia become the party’s flagbearer.
“Those who compete for leadership must be evaluated on merit, experience, and capability,” he stated. “Dr. Bawumia meets all these criteria, and I believe he is the best candidate to lead our party and Ghana in the future.”
