Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh (NAPO), the running mate of the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) presidential aspirant for the 2024 elections, was ushered into the Tema township on Wednesday, July 24, 2024, by a mammoth crowd who sang and danced excitedly to brass band music.
NAPO, who has commenced his campaign tour of the Greater Accra Region, was treated to an impressive show of love by hundreds of supporters draped in t-shirts and paraphernalia of the NPP colors.
The jamboree followed NAPO right from the Tema roundabout to the palace of the paramount chief of Tema, where he paid homage to the chief and elders.
Prior to the triumphant entry to Tema, NAPO had already visited the Paramount Chief of the Ada State, Nene Abram Kabu Akuaku III.
He presented the party’s vision to the traditional leader and emphasized Vice President Bawumia's commitment to national development and his vision for a prosperous Ghana.
Dr. Opoku Prempeh underscored the vice president's track record in spearheading initiatives such as digitization, economic reforms, and infrastructure development, which he believes are crucial for the country’s growth.
Later in the day, the NPP running mate also paid a courtesy call on the Paramount Chief of the Prampram traditional area, Nene Tetteh Wakah III.
He highlighted Dr. Bawumia's efforts in championing digitalization and reforms to ensure equitable access for all citizens.
He also noted the vice president's role in advocating for policies that promote youth empowerment and economic inclusivity.
The move by the NPP running mate signals the party’s approach in mobilizing support from traditional authorities in the Greater Accra region ahead of the 2024 election.
