Former New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer contender Kennedy Agyapong arrived in Kumasi to attend the official unveiling of Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh also known as Napo as the party’s running mate for the upcoming December 7, 2024, general elections.
Mr Agyapong, who represents Assin Central in Parliament, was greeted with a rousing welcome from enthusiastic party supporters upon his arrival at the Prempeh I International Airport.
A video captured on social media showcased the electric atmosphere as supporters, filled with excitement and admiration, mobbed Mr Agyapong and his wife as they made their way through the airport.
The excitement was palpable as NPP members and supporters celebrated the arrival of one of their prominent leaders.
The highlight of the day will be the official unveiling of Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, the current Energy Minister, as the running mate for the NPP’s presidential candidate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
The event, set to take place on Tuesday, July 9, 2024, in Kumasi, is expected to draw significant attention and attendance from party members and the general public.
Last week, the NPP’s National Executive Council unanimously approved Dr. Prempeh, affectionately known as “Napo,” as Dr. Bawumia’s running mate. This decision is seen as a strategic move to strengthen the party’s campaign and appeal to a broader voter base.
