"He is full of knowledge. I have walked with him for the last 16 years, and I have high respect for him; he is a problem solver, he is a generational thinker. I know I share the same vision with him.

"I know that if he becomes my running mate, we can work together and bring bold solutions for the people of Ghana. So, I have every confidence in Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh. Our ticket is one of youth, experience, innovation, and generational thinking. That is the ticket we are bringing to the people of Ghana to help us move Ghana to the next generation," he stated.

Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, popularly known as NAPO, was recently nominated by Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the ruling NPP, as his running mate, a choice which received the unanimous endorsement of the party's National Executive Council.

Speaking at the unveiling event in Kumasi, President Nana Akufo-Addo expressed confidence in the Bawumia-NAPO ticket, while the party's flagbearer justified his choice of the current Manhyia South Member of Parliament and Minister for Energy as his running mate.

Various speakers, including the party's national and regional officers and former flagbearer contenders, spoke at the event. They all expressed unwavering confidence in the NPP's ability to win the upcoming election, especially against the main opposition, the National Democratic Congress.
