The way has been cleared for the National Council of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to endorse Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh popularly known as NAPO as the running mate of Dr Mahamudu Bawumia for the December 7 elections.
This follows the completion of the necessary consultations by the flagbearer, which saw the acceptance of Dr Opoku Prempeh by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and the NPP Majority in Parliament.
Ahead of the presentation of his running mate to the party’s National Council, Dr Bawumia, on Sunday evening, met with Dr Opoku Prempeh and the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the party, Bernard Antwi-Boasiako, commonly referred to as Chairman Wontumi, to iron out the differences between the two, and strategise for the way forward.
