It is reported that National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, John Mahama, is considering picking Mr. Kojo Bonsu as his running mate for the forthcoming national general elections scheduled for next year.
According to a well-placed report at the party’s head office, his selection has received massive endorsement from the party’s leadership.
The leadership believes his rich experience as the former Mayor of Kumasi, Ghana’s second-biggest city, is a plus for the party, where it has proven a stronghold for the opposition NPP.
A party faithful who spoke on anonymity condition, per reports, said “This is good for us, the pair is perfect. During his tenure as Kumasi Mayor, he discharged his duty with utter professionalism. He scored full marks, and his legacy is there for all of us to see. The forthcoming elections will be keenly contested, and we need someone like Kojo to ensure we recapture the seat for our great party.”
During his tenure as the National Sports Authority (NSA) boss under the Professor Atta-Mills regime, Kojo Bonsu succeeded in bringing about significant changes in the sports fraternity.
His rich managerial expertise was evident in the day-to-day running of GOIL, where he served as the board chairman. As a Board Member and Managing Director of GOIL, he played a crucial role in the company’s re-branding, transforming it into the largest Oil Marketing Company (OMC) in Ghana. Kojo Bonsu’s business acumen and influence have been instrumental in GOIL’s success.
He is also remembered for his contributions to the football community, particularly for ensuring that kits for teams in the country met high-quality standards during his tenure as the Adidas representative for West Africa.
