John Kwame Duodu, popularly known as Sir John, an NPP Vice Chairman for the Atwima Nwabiagya South Constituency and also serving as the Ashanti Regional TESCON Coordinator, has described the pairing of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh as a perfect one to complement the party's 'breaking the eight' agenda.

According to the deputy national organizer for the Friends of Bawumia 2008 Foundation (FoB-'08), Napo has a strong intellectual personality with strong opinions that enable him to debate fearlessly, sometimes to the point of being abrasive.

He said Napo's strong political experience, coupled with Dr. Bawumia's digital ideas and fantastic policies, will make Ghana a great place to live.

Describing their pairing as a representation of competence and hope, he urged all Ghanaians to support them since the country will be safe under their leadership.

The nomination of Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh (NAPO) as running mate by Vice President and NPP flagbearer Dr. Bawumia demonstrates the NPP's political diversity and tolerance over time. This pairing represents experienced, uncorrupted, and tolerant political leaders who have excelled in their respective fields.

As the Deputy National Organizer for the "Friends of Bawumia 2008 Foundation" (FoB-'08) and the NPP Constituency First Vice Chairman in Atwima Nwabiagya South, I am delighted to congratulate NAPO on his new position.

We have already seen significant progress under his leadership, as he was the first minister to implement free senior high school in Ghana and the first to address the issue of "dumsor" as energy minister.

NAPO is a strong intellectual with strong opinions that he debates fearlessly, sometimes to the point of being abrasive. He works extremely hard, and the National Executive Committee has confirmed that he is the best candidate for the running mate position. While there are other qualified candidates, we believe NAPO is the best choice for the current election cycle.

We are ready to collaborate and work with NAPO and Dr. Bawumia to break Ghana's 8-year cycle.

Napo's experience as an education and energy minister, combined with his background as a dentist and over a decade of service as an MP, qualify him to be the second in command on January 7, 2025.

Dr. Bawumia and Dr. Napo represent competence, integrity, and a dedication to non-corrupt politics. Ghana will be in safe hands under their leadership, and I urge all Ghanaians to support them. Under their leadership, we can expect significant progress and positive change in the country.
