Minister of Food and Agriculture, Dr. Bryan Acheampong, has dismissed speculations suggesting that he is a leading candidate to become the running mate of the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, in the upcoming December elections.
Speaking to reporters, Dr. Acheampong expressed confidence in Dr. Bawumia‘s ability to select the most suitable candidate to accompany him in the elections. He emphasized that Dr. Bawumia will make a judicious decision in the interest of the party.
“The only leading candidate that we know is in the mind of Dr. Bawumia. I am serving now but I was doing very well in business, if you know me. But I am serving now, so I am not a leading candidate for Dr. Bawumia,” Dr. Acheampong stated.
He further added, ““Everything is in his head. He will choose, he will make the best decision for the party, and the party will rally behind that candidate.”
