Choice of running mate must not divide Ashanti NPP – COKA

More often than not, the need for the selection of a running mate with a diverse demographic and strategic geopolitical considerations is highlighted as a focal point in increasing a political party’s the chances of success in elections, especially in Ghana.

For this reason and more, a former chairman of the New Patriotic Party(NPP), Odeneho Kwaku Appiah is appealing to the rank and file of the party to be careful enough not allow the selection of a running mate ruin the unity in the party in the Ashanti region.

In a facebook post on March 23, he cautioned that the NPP cannot afford to take Ashanti region for granted, indicating that opposition Nationa Democratic Congress has targeted the region and may likely play on the division of the party to garner votes.


“The NDC , our main opponent has made Ashanti region (NPP’s base ) their target to get more votes going into 2024 elections; not even their considered world bank, Volta region. It is therefore IMPORTANT we ( NPP) do not allow the selection of a running mate to divide Ashanti region the more. Fact, if Ashanti region fails NPP, the NPP party will be in BIG TROUBLE. The region need everybody to help break the 8. Let us not pressurize DMB, let’s allow him to make his best choice.”

Sounding more concerned, he made a passionate appeal to the flagbearer of the party, Dr Bawumia to who seem to be behind schedule according to the partys constituition to name the running mate in order that the party is able to manage in unforseen divisions that may come up.

“Furthermore, l also want to appeal to Dr. Bawumia , our candidate for 2024 to also save NPP from further division by naming his running mate sooner than later . This will further help the party especially Ashanti region NPP from further deteriorating. By naming the running mate NOW, any fallouts could be managed and handled by the on-going reconciliation team in Ashanti region led by Mr. Edward Boateng.”

Chairman Odeneho Kwaku Appiah writes...

The NPP seems to be at crossroads…NPP has selected Dr. Mahammudu Bawumia (DMB) as our party flagbearer for 2024 elections. We have selected our Parliamentary candidates, constituted our campaign team and manifesto committees. The only Puzzle left is the selection of the running mate to partner our candidate and the party will be all ready for the 2024 elections.

NPP cannot afford to take Ashanti region for granted that is the hard core fact.

This will further help the party especially Ashanti region NPP from further deteriorating.

Indeed, per our revised NPP constitution in article 13 section 3 (1) and (2) our candidate ought to have selected our running mate by close of December last year, 2023, however, per his request for extension it was granted by National Council. Recent events especially in Ashanti region are not encouraging. As a concern Patriot my concern and that of many is that when the process is delayed the cracks becomes dipper and more disturbing which wouldn’t help the party’s course for our quest to break the 8. Ghana and NPP need DMB to save the country from going back in development.
We need a running mate who will rejuvenate the base of our party in the region.

I contested for the regional chairmanship position.It was a fierce contest and unfortunately, l lost but I can’t turn my back to the party I love so much. I am fully on board the Party’s campaign to help break the 8 and expect all others including parliamentary candidates who lost primaries to also join the campaign.
We have only one NPP. 2024 is the ultimate, let’s unite behind the big elephant.
We can do it Kukrudu Kukrudu Kukrudu!!! Coka, l care .
