Deputy Minister for Local Government, Decentralisation and Rural Development, Mr. Vincent Ekow Assafuah, has expressed confidence in Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh as the perfect running mate for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia in the upcoming 2024 polls.
Dr. Bawumia, the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has proposed Dr. Opoku Prempeh, also known as NAPO, as his running mate to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
Mr. Assafuah, in an interview on Channel One TV, compared Dr. Opoku Prempeh’s credentials to those of Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, the running mate for the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).
He highlighted Dr. Opoku Prempeh’s achievements as Education Minister, including the restoration of teacher trainee allowances and the payment of debts owed to special schools and school feeding programmes.
Mr. Assafuah believes Dr. Opoku Prempeh’s track record makes him a better option than Professor Opoku-Agyemang.
