Hundreds of traders in the Ashanti Regional capital (Kumasi), mostly Kejetia and Race Course traders, on Tuesday, 25th June 2024, demonstrated their unwavering support for the Member of Parliament (MP) for Manhyia South, who is also the Energy Minister, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, popularly known as Napo, as the best person to partner Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia for the 2024 elections.

Their endorsement comes in the wake of various research results putting Napo ahead of his competitors as the likely person to be considered by Dr. Bawumia as running mate.

Obaapanin Akoma, the leader of Race Course tomatoes sellers; Alfred Akyereko, the Organiser for Friends of Napo, among other leaders, have humbly appealed to Dr. Bawumia to choose Napo as his running mate to make it easy for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to win the 2024 general election.

According to them, the Energy Minister and MP for Manhyia South, aside from being humble, hard working and committed to the development of Ghana, is seen to be the favourite of majority of Ghanaians, especially the rank and file of the NPP.

They maintained that Napo delivered excellently when he was appointed as Education Minister which led to the implementation of the Free Senior High School policy which has benefitted lots of parents and children.

They pointed out that when Napo was again appointed as Energy Minister when the country was facing challenges in the energy sector, again he has, through many innovations and interventions, ensured stable power supply in the country.

Addressing the media, they insisted that with Napo as Dr. Bawumia’s running mate, it would ensure easy victory and help Dr Bawumia’s government to implement his good policies and programmes for the betterment of Ghanaians.

“As NPP supporters, we need somebody who…can help Dr. Bawumia win the 2024 polls and continue the good works of the Akufo-Addo administration,” they added.
