Salam Mustapha, the National Youth Organizer of the governing New Patriotic Party, has reposed confidence of their flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, to pick a Running Mate who’s cherished by the celebration.
The New Patriotic Party has prolonged the time for the Vice President to announce his Running Mate.
Dr. Bawumia was anticipated to declare his Running Mate yesterday however upon his request for extra time to make his determination, the celebration’s National Council, which has the ability to make exceptions to the celebration’s guidelines, has waived this requirement.
Speaking on the Alisa Hotel, the NPP General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, stated; “In line with our constitution, particularly about Article 13 (32) ‘the vice presidential candidate shall be a known and active member at least five years and shall be nominated by the presidential candidate at least 12 months before general elections when the party is not in government or the president is not the candidate.”
He additional said; “The National Council may, however, dispense with this requirement under special circumstances. From the interpretation of this article, it presupposes that today should have been the day our leader of the party and our presidential candidate should have presented his running mate to the National Council.”
“However, upon request from the presidential candidate that because his election was done on November 4, 2023, he needs a bit of time to continue with his consultation before he brings the proposed name for running mate to the National Council,” he added.
Reacting to the matter throughout Peace FM’s morning present “Kokrokoo”, Salam Mustapha agreed with the Vice Presidential’s request believing it is going to provide him the possibility to pick an excellent Vice Presidential candidate for the celebration.
“I am extremely confident that, at the end of the processes, the presidential candidate will nominate somebody who will be accepted by the party. I am very, very confident because I know how the presidential candidate works. He is very, very meticulous”, he opined.
