Henry Nana Boakye, affectionately called Nana B, the National Organizer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has acknowledged that the ruling party will face significant challenges in the general elections of 2024.
The elephant family will prevail, but it will be a very difficult one, according to Nana B.
Election 2024 is going to be, for me, the most difficult elections for the New Patriotic Party but my strong belief is that we shall prevail…As the National Organizer, I know that the battle ahead is going to be the most difficult battle but I say it to the glory of God that we shall prevail”, Nana B told Kwami Sefa Kayi.
Over the weekend, the NPP chose Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, its vice president, to be its leader.
Dr. Bawumia was proclaimed the winner by the Electoral Commission at the conclusion of the race after he received 118,210 votes—or an astounding 61.47%—of the total 193,346 votes cast. Ken Ohene Agyapong, his closest competitor, received 71,996 votes.
Dr. Afriyie Akoto and Francis Addai-Nimoh, the other candidates, received 1459 and 781 votes, respectively.
Dr. Bawumia won by a wide margin in every region, with the exception of the Volta and Central regions.
A few names have surfaced in the public sphere urging Dr. Bawumia to choose Kennedy Agyapong as his running mate in order to force a “showdown” with the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
According to reports, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, the minister of communication, and Frema Osei Opare, the chief of staff, are reportedly at odds over who would be the most suitable partner for Bawumia.
According to reports, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful is putting a lot of effort into vying with her male rivals for the coveted slot while simultaneously pursuing Frema Opare, who has expressed a strong desire for the position.
There were rumors that Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, the Minister of Energy and Manhyia South Member of Parliament, intended to support Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as his running mate.
