The running mate to the flagbearer of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, has vowed again to support his boss, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, to forge a new partnership with traditional authorities for development.

He gave the assurance to help Dr. Bawumia to deepen the bond between the political class and traditional authority on Thursday, 25 July, 2024 during his visits to Okuapehene, Oseadeayo Kwasi Akuffo III, Okuapehemaa Nana Afua Nketiaa Obuo II and Omanhene of the New Juabeng traditional area, Nana Kwaku Boateng III.

Dr. Opoku Prempeh, said the new partnership for development vision of Dr. Bawumia is to ensure total inclusivity in the governance processes, and so he remains committed to the same.

“The UP tradition, the frontrunner for the present-day New Patriotic Party, was not the endeavour of a single ethnic group but a collective effort of Ghanaians from various backgrounds, and so we are always reminded of the foundational principles of inclusivity and unity,” he said.

Dr. Opoku Prempeh, a former Minister of Energy and key figure within the ruling NPP, has been actively engaging with chiefs and traditional leaders across the country, with the aim of solidifying grassroots support for the flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, as the party gears up for the 2024 presidential elections.

OKUAPEHEMAA BLESSINGS

Okuapehemaa Nana Afua Nketiaa Obuo II asked God’s blessings for Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh and the NPP Campaign.

During a courtesy call on her by the NPP Vice-Presidential Candidate, Nana Afua Nketiaa prayed for the NPP campaign that God protects and guides the entire campaign team, ensuring that their heart desires are fulfilled.

Nana Afua Nketiaa recounted his strong relations with Apagyafie, where Dr. Prempeh hails from, and indicated the mother-son relations between her and Dr. Prempeh.

“Your grandfather, Nana Sir Agyeman Prempeh was a good man and a man of peace, and so I am not surprised that you are also a good man and a unifier. I pray that all your heart desires come to pass,” she remarked.

On his part, Dr. Prempeh made allusions to the rich tapestry of cultures, traditions, and histories that make the nation, Ghana.

“Our strength, I believe, lies in our unity, and our progress is rooted in the cordiality and peaceful coexistence among our diverse ethnic groups.”

Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, since becoming NPP running mate, has been embarking on these chieftaincy visits as part of efforts by the Bawumia campaign to forge an inclusive partnership with traditional authority, deepening the relationship between the political class and tradition.
