Frank Annoh-Dompreh, Majority Chief Whip and Member of Parliament for Nsawam/Adoagyiri, believes Vice President Dr. Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia will be the New Patriotic Party’s flagbearer and will win the 2024 elections.
As the NPP prepares to select a successor to President Akufo-Addo as party flagbearer, many believe Dr. Bawumia and Trade and Industry Minister Alan Kyerematen are the front-runners.
Dr. Bawumia, on the other hand, was an open choice for Frank Annoh-Dompreh.
He made the announcement at a conference to elect NPP constituency officers in the Nsawam/Adoagyiri constituency.
“John Mahama has contributed.” He should leave and not run again, but by God’s grace, Dr. Bawumia will be Ghana’s next president,” he said.
According to political observers in Ghana, the NPP’s flagbearership race will be a watershed moment for the party, as it will either make or break the party.
Freddie Blay, the party’s National Chairman, has already stated that he believes the party will emerge unscathed and more formidable to win the 2024 elections.
“Certainly, it will not be easy. When the party held internal elections in 2008, there were as many as 17 candidates. I believe they will be significantly lower this year.”
“We need unity; we need to put our differences aside and support the candidate who can break the 8. “Breaking the 8 is not just a slogan; it will become a reality,” he said in an interview with Citi News.
