The 2024 Vice Presidential Candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh, has dismissed rumours suggesting that he intends to contest for the party’s flagbearer position for the 2028 general elections.
He rather stressed the need for a united front as the party prepares for the future.
Speaking to the media on the sidelines of the NPP’s National Executive Council (NEC) meeting on Wednesday, April 16, 2025, he reiterated that his focus is not on personal ambition, but on promoting peace and unity within the party.
“My immediate interest now is to get a united party for a flagbearer to be eventually crowned. No, I’m not running in 2028,” he remarked.
NAPO also addressed the yet to be submitted report of the Aaron Mike Oquaye Committee, which has been tasked with reviewing the party’s 2024 electoral defeat.
“If you don’t want to obey what the report says, you don’t want to be a member of the party. Because what is the single person’s mind or utterances? Nothing. Besides, for the party, it’s a good thing.
“So, even though they are skeptics, they are cynics, they are doubters, all manner of people who say all manner of things… when majority decides we will stick to the report (sic),” he added.
