5 Potential Running Mates For 2024 Election

The 2024 presidential election is a contest between the two main political parties in Ghana; NPP and NDC. Each political party has elected its running. NPP will president Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia while the NDC will present John Dramani Mahama. Both candidates are yet to present their running mates. There is a high possibility that one the names below will become the next vice president of Ghana.

1. Jane Naana Opoku Prempeh

She is a member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC). She was the running mate of John Mahama in the 2016 and 2020 general elections. There are hopes that John Mahama will maintain her as his running mate for the third time. Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang happens for the former Education Minister and the former Vice Chancellor of UCC.

2. Kennedy Agyapong

Kennedy Agyapong is believed to be the best running mate for Bawumia after pooling an impressive 37 votes in the just ended NPP election. It is believed that Kennedy Agyapong will help NPP break the eight if elected as flag bearer or selected as flagbearer.

3. Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh

Even before Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia announced his run, many NPP members picked Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh as his potential running mate. He is the current minister of Energy and the former Minister of Education.

Born on 23 May 1968 in Ashanti New Town, a suburb of Kumasi, and hailing from Pakyi No. 2 in the Ashanti Region, Matthew Opoku Prempeh popularly known as NAPO started his basic education at KNUST Primary and continued to Prempeh College in Kumasi, Ashanti Region of Ghana, for his middle school education.

4. Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum

At age 59, Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum is viewed by the party as an ideal candidate to provide a balanced dynamic to the presidential ticket, whether in terms of geography or ideology, to create what is seen as the most suitable partnership for the NPP in their efforts to break the eight. He is the current minister of Education and also regarded as the best minister in Ghana at the moment.

5. Opoku Onyinah

Apostle Professor Kwadwo Nimfour Opoku Onyinah, the famous Ghanaian theologian, a televangelist, who served as The Church of Pentecost’s Chairman from 2008 to 2018 is under strong consideration.

The church leader is said to have been instrumental in Dr. Bawumia’s popularity among the Christian Clergy and his selection will complement Bawumia within the Christian community.

Advocates for Onyinah also say he hails from the Ashanti Region which is key to the 2024 election for NPP to break the 8.

He was born in Aduman in the Ashanti Region to Opanin Kwame Onyinah and Maame Rebecca Akosua Addai of Aduman.
