A
senior
lecturer
at
the
Kwame
Nkrumah
University
of
Science
and
Technology
(KNUST),
Dr.
Kwasi
Amakye-Boateng,
has
said
the
Energy
Minister,
Dr.
Matthew
Opoku
Prempeh,
will
sweep
floating
voters,
if
the
NPP
will,
and
build
the
party’s
base
than
Dr.
Bawumia
himself.
According
to
the
Political
Science
lecturer,
the
Vice
President
failed
to
live
up
to
his
words,
considering
the
promises
he
made
amid
his
numerous
lectures
prior
to
the
2016
elections.
The
outcome
of
the
many
lectures
he
says,
has
been
a
plummeting
economy
where
everyone
is
complaining.
Dr.
Amakye-Boateng
explains
that
Bawumia’s
inability
to
accept
blame
for
the
failures
of
the
current
administration
and
quickness
to
take
credit
for
some
achievements
is
a
red
flag
for
floating
voters
going
into
the
polls.
Speaking
on
New
Day
on
TV3
Friday,
July
05,
2024,
the
political
analyst
indicated
that
Dr.
Opoku
Prempeh
is
the
one
that
will
do
the
magic
for
the
NPP,
if
any,
because,
for
Dr.
Bawumia,
“he
talks
too
much.”
Meanwhile,
President
Akufo-Addo
has
expressed
optimism
over
the
Bawumia-Opoku
Prempeh
ticket,
saying
the
duo
shall
retain
power
for
the
NPP.
Following
the
confirmation
of
the
Energy
Minister
as
the
running
mate
for
the
party’s
flag
bearer
at
a
National
Executive
Council
meeting
Thursday,
July
04,
2024,
the
President
expressed
his
unwavering
confidence
in
the
pair.
During
an
encounter
with
journalists
after
the
confirmation
at
the
party’s
headquarters,
President
Akufo-Addo,
with
enthusiasm,
said
it
was
an
“excellent
pairing”.
He
conveyed
his
conviction
that
they
will
lead
the
NPP
to
a
resounding
victory
in
the
2024
general
elections.
Highlighting
their
combined
strengths
and
leadership
qualities,
Mr.
Akufo-Addo
stated
that
the
pair
will
have
a
resounding
victory
for
the
NPP
come
December.
“National
Council
has
endorsed
the
nomination
of
Dr
Mathew
Opoku
Prempeh
to
be
the
running
mate
of
Dr
Mahamudu
Bawumia.
“The
NPP
has
an
excellent
ticket,
and
we’re
going
to
win
with
this
ticket
on
7th
December
2024,
that’s
the
news.
The
feeling
is
good,
they
make
a
very
good
pair,
and
they
are
going
to
win,”
he
stated.
