Dr Opoku Prempeh addressing party delegates in the Ahafo Region
The Presidential Running Mate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the 2024 general elections, Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh, has intensified his call on party delegates to rally firmly behind former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, describing unity around his leadership as crucial to the party’s chances of returning to power in the 2028 general elections.
Dr Opoku Prempeh made the call during an engagement with former constituency and regional executives of the party in the Ahafo Region, as part of his continued outreach following the NPP’s July conference resolution that formally incorporated them into the party’s delegate system.
He reminded the executives that their inclusion as delegates comes with a significant responsibility, which he described as a sacred trust that must be exercised in the broader interest of the party.
“I want to remind you of the responsibility and sacred trust now placed in your hands. This mandate must be exercised with fairness and with a clear focus on victory for the New Patriotic Party,” he said.
Reiterating his consistent message of unity, Dr Opoku Prempeh stressed that the NPP’s success depends on its ability to remain united and focused on its shared values and long-term objectives.
According to him, a united party, firmly rallied behind the elephant, remains well positioned to reorganise, reconnect with the grassroots and reclaim power.
Dr Opoku Prempeh further explained why Dr Mahamudu Bawumia remains the most credible option to lead the party forward, citing his experience, vision and record in government as key strengths capable of unifying the party and appealing to the wider Ghanaian electorate.
He urged delegates to rise above personal and factional interests and to cast their votes in a manner that reflects the future aspirations of both the New Patriotic Party and the country.
