The Majority Leader, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, has denied allegations of actively seeking the position of running mate for Dr. Mahammudu Bawumia in the upcoming 2024 general elections.
This response follows an admonition from former Minority Leader Haruna Iddrisu, who urged Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu to concentrate on his critical oversight responsibilities in Parliament rather than campaigning for the NPP flagbearer’s running mate role.
“Mr Speaker, let me state that there is no contest for running mate and I’m not involved in campaigning for the running mate position, it should be loud and clear,” Osei-Kyei-Mensah said on the floor of Parliament on Thursday, November 23.
In response to similar remarks from Minority Chief Whip Governs Agbodza, the Suame MP unequivocally rejects any notions of actively pursuing the position, underscoring that he is not engaged in a campaign to become Dr. Bawumia’s running mate.
Addressing the issue on the floor of Parliament on Thursday, November 23, Osei-Kyei-Mensah emphasizes, “Let me state that there is no contest for running mate, and I’m not involved in campaigning for the running mate position; it should be loud and clear.”
The Majority Leader urged members of the minority caucus to avoid speculation and instead focus on debating the 2024 budget statement.
