It has been reported that Dan Botwe, a former Minister of Local Government and Rural Development, is likely to be appointed as the campaign manager for the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, for the upcoming 2024 general elections.
This development has come after Martin Adjei Mensah Korsah, the Member of Parliament for Techiman South, was recently named as the replacement for President Akufo-Addo.
It is unclear if his new position as campaign manager had anything to do with the reshuffle by the President. But sources close to the NPP Flagbearer say the decision was made after broad consultations.
Our sources have revealed that the announcement regarding the campaign team of the Vice President will be made after the National Executive Committee and National Council meetings on Monday. It is also expected that Dr Bawumia will unveil his campaign team next week.
During the acclamation of Mr Samuel Abu Jinapor as the parliamentary candidate of Damongo in the Savannah Region on Saturday, the General Secretary of the Party, Mr Justin Koduah Frimpong, emphasized that the Flagbearer has a clear vision for the nation. He added that the Flagbearer wasted no time in announcing his policy direction just a few months after being elected as the presidential candidate.
Mr Koduah Frimpong also questioned the delay in the policy direction announcement by the NDC Flagbearer, former President John Mahama, who has been the flagbearer for a year.
