Education Minister, Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum has announced that he is ready and willing to serve as the running mate for the New Patriotic Party's flagbearer, Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia, in the 2024 presidential elections.
Speaking in an interview on Tuesday, January 9, the Member of Parliament for Bosomtwe confirmed his readiness to offer his services to Ghana whenever the need arises.
“I am here to serve my nation, in any capacity I find myself I will serve this nation,” Dr Adutwum said.
The quest for Dr. Bawumia’s running mate in the forthcoming general elections has brought forward prominent figures, with notable names such as Energy Minister Dr. Mathew Opoku Prempeh and Suame MP Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu in the spotlight.
n a departure from the NPP’s usual practice, the party granted Dr. Bawumia additional time to select his running mate in December last year.
The party’s National Council, having the authority to make exceptions to party rules, agreed to waive the requirement that the vice presidential candidate be chosen one year before elections.
