The 2024 presidential election will undoubtedly feature a contest between Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and former President John Dramani Mahama for the National Democratic Congress (NDC). This is despite the fact that neither the NPP nor the NDC has chosen their standard-bearers for the election.
At least four party stalwarts from the NPP have expressed interest in serving as the party’s flagbearer.
They are Kennedy Agyapong, a lawmaker from Assin Central, Alan Kyerematen, a former trade and industry minister, Kwabena Agyei Agyepong, a former general secretary of the NPP, and Dr Owusu Akoto Afriyie, a former minister of food and agriculture.
Dr Bawumia has not yet publicly stated that he plans to run for office, although he most certainly will.
According to Mr Frank Annoh-Dompreh, Dr Bawumia represents hope for both the governing party and Ghana as a whole.
“It will certainly be between BMW(our hope): and JM(The spent force)!” he tweeted on Wednesday, January 18.
The Nsawam-Adoagyiri lawmaker further indicated that Dr Bawumia “is a gift to this Nation, let’s not take it for granted. Do away with your ‘Hatred’ for him. He will rescue us, certainly. Dr Bawumia, ever proud of him.”
