Napo and Bawumia Congratulate Matthew Opoku Prempeh on Confirmation as Running Mate

An enthusiastic congratulations has been extended to Hon. Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh by the NPP-affiliated youth group, Northern Champions for Napo and Bawumia, following his confirmation as the running mate to Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia for the upcoming 2024 general elections.

The selection, endorsed by President Nana Akufo-Addo and ratified by the National Executive Committee (NEC), underscores Dr. Napo’s exemplary qualifications and dedication to advancing Ghana. The group emphasized that Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia could not have chosen a more fitting partner than Dr. Opoku Prempeh, who boasts a distinguished career in public service, marked by notable leadership and steadfast adherence to the principles of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

As a four-term Member of Parliament for Manhyia South Constituency and a former Minister for Education, Dr. Opoku Prempeh has spearheaded significant positive reforms, most notably through the implementation of the Free Senior High School (SHS) policy. This initiative has enabled over two million young Ghanaians to access quality education, reinforcing Dr. Napo’s reputation as one of the most effective ministers.

In his current role as Energy Minister, Dr. Opoku Prempeh has been instrumental in maintaining a stable power supply in Ghana, navigating global economic challenges, and ensuring reliable electricity for national development and economic growth. His strong grassroots connections and genuine rapport with party foot soldiers have further solidified his support base, which is essential for a successful electoral campaign and party unity.

Affectionately known as Napo, Dr. Prempeh’s strong advocacy for youth empowerment has also been noteworthy. His mentorship and support for young Ghanaians aspiring to leadership roles have played a crucial role in shaping the nation’s future leaders. His close ties with the chiefs and people of Asanteman, alongside his representation of the Busia tradition, significantly contribute to the party’s regional and cultural diversity.

The Northern Champions for Napo and Bawumia emphasized Dr. Napo’s resourcefulness and commitment to a well-funded and strategic campaign, bolstering the NPP’s chances of winning the 2024 general elections. They expressed confidence in the Bawumia-Napo partnership to break the eight-year political cycle and lead Ghana towards a prosperous future, highlighting Dr. Napo’s practical governance experience and grassroots connection in contrast to the opposition’s running mate.

The group extended their deepest gratitude to Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia for his trust in Dr. Napo, as well as to the President and party elders for their guidance and support. They pledged their unwavering support to ensure a resounding victory for the NPP in 2024, calling for unity and rallying behind Dr. Bawumia and Dr. Napo for a prosperous and united Ghana.
