The race to succeed Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh as the Member of Parliament for Manhyia South has commenced following his confirmation as the running mate to Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia for the 2024 presidential election.
On Thursday, July 4, the National Council of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) officially endorsed Dr. Opoku Prempeh, commonly known as ‘NAPO,’ as the running mate.
President Akufo-Addo expressed his enthusiasm about the announcement, describing the pairing of Dr. Bawumia and Dr. Opoku Prempeh as an “excellent combination.”
Shortly after NAPO’s confirmation, posters featuring Nana Owusu Afriyie Prempeh, the Manhyia South Constituency Treasurer and NAPO’s biological brother, surfaced, indicating his intention to contest for the parliamentary seat.
Channel One News has also learned that other potential candidates have begun meeting with delegates behind closed doors, signalling a competitive race ahead.
