Despite supporting calls for Bawumia-Alan ticket for the ruling New Patriotic Party going into the 2024 presidential election, Friends of Bawumia (FoB) are of the view the Vice President can no longer be a running mate to any person.
According to the group, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has over sixteen years experience as a running mate and a Vice president, hence deserve to lead the NPP in 2024.
Speaking to this reporter on Bryt FM news, the national executive of Friends of Bawumia Rev George Opoku Acheampong insists the Vice president has seen it all and deserves to hold the mantle as a leader and subsequently the President of the country come January 2025.
He explained that Dr. Bawumia has been a pivot in the Akufo-Addo-led administration with his rich economic knowledge as well as his experience in governance.
“Abronoma, I agree with those calling for Bawumia-Alan ticket to help the party break the ‘8’ agenda but there is one thing for sure and that is, with the rich experience of Dr. Bawumia as a running mate and vice president, I think it is time for him to lead the party so that Mr. Alan Kyeremanten can then be the running mate to him. I think that analogy won’t be a bad idea as we prepare to break the 8,” Rev George Opoku Acheampong told the newscaster.
There have been several calls for the two personalities to merge and lead the NPP into the 2024 general elections but the discussions have been centered on who MUST be the Flagbearer.
