After Dr Mahamudu Bawumia emerged as the flagbearer for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for the 2024 presidential election – the issue of when he will name who to partner him as running mate has generated some discussion within the political fraternity.
However, a key member of the NPP and highly tipped running mate candidate, Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu has told NEAT FM’s morning show, Ghana Montie that the much-awaited announcement will be made in 2024.
According to the Majority leader, his party’s body of law mandates the flagbearer to name his running mate six months before the general election.
“We should expect the announcement of the running mate somewhere in June 2024,” he said without giving a specific date for the announcement.
Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu also debunked claims that he is secretly campaigning to partner Dr Bawumia to help the NPP ‘Break the 8’.
“I am not doing that,” he said emphatically.
