Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s senior campaign adviser and Director-General of the National Lottery Authority (NLA), Sammy Awuku, has disclosed that the Vice President will declare his running mate for the 2024 general elections in June.
Awuku hinted that Dr. Bawumia had already chosen his running companion, implying that a declaration will soon be made. His remarks coincide with conjecture regarding the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) and political analysts’ theories regarding the reason behind the delay in selecting a running mate.
On Tuesday, May 14, Awuku stressed that Dr. Bawumia is still within a suitable period to make the announcement when speaking on Yen Nsempa on Onua FM. He used the choice of Dr. Bawumia as his running partner made by then-candidate Nana Akufo-Addo in August 2008 for that year’s election as an example.
