Discussing the dynamics of party leadership, Agyemang explained that Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu ‘s name naturally comes up in conversations about a potential running mate within the NPP.

“The majority leader is more than qualified to partner with Bawumia. He has the track record and all the qualities. He understands democracy with vast parliamentary experience; he has the links and respects both locally and internationally,” Agyemang emphasized.

In conclusion, Agyemang noted that the compatibility between Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu and Bawumia is evident in their past interactions. As the speculations continue, it remains to be seen whether Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu will indeed be the chosen running mate, bringing his wealth of experience and leadership qualities to the forefront of the 2024 elections.
