Hon.Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu
The Majority Leader of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, called on party supporters to avoid pressuring Vice President Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia in selecting a running mate for the upcoming elections. Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu emphasized the importance of giving the party’s flagbearer the freedom to choose their own running mate to foster unity and success within the party.
During an interview on GTV, the Majority Leader expressed his trust in Dr. Bawumia’s judgment and decision-making abilities, urging the public to grant him the necessary time and space to make an informed and strategic choice. Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu highlighted the fact that Dr. Bawumia has been a longstanding member of the party, making him well-acquainted with its intricacies and thus capable of making his own decision without external interference.
The appeal from the Majority Leader comes amid growing speculation and pressure regarding the potential running mate for Dr. Bawumia. As the NPP gears up for the upcoming elections, party supporters and stakeholders have been eagerly awaiting the announcement, eager to see who will join Dr. Bawumia on the campaign trail.
However, Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu’s plea for restraint echoes the sentiment that the selection of a running mate should be left solely in the hands of Dr. Bawumia. Allowing him the freedom to choose is seen as integral to maintaining party cohesion and ensuring a successful electoral campaign.
As the anticipation continues to build, the NPP remains focused on presenting a united front and rallying behind its flagbearer. With the confidence of the Majority Leader and the support of the party, Dr. Bawumia is poised to make a well-considered decision that will not only benefit the NPP but also resonate with voters ahead of the elections.
