Calls for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, to choose his running mate from the Ashanti Region have intensified following the overwhelming response to his three-day tour of the region.
The traders at Kejetia Market are particularly vocal, pushing for Chief of Staff, Akosua Frema Opare, to be be considered as his running mate for the 2024 presidential election. They believe her performance as Chief of Staff showcases her capabilities and leadership qualities, making her a strong candidate for the position.
In their interactions with the media, the traders emphasized that Akosua Frema Opare’s achievements and dedication in her current role are clear indicators of her potential to contribute positively to the country’s leadership. They argue that having someone from the Ashanti Region as a running mate would also reflect the region’s importance and ensure that their concerns and interests are well-represented at the highest levels of government.
The support for Akosua Frema Opare from the Kejetia Market traders highlights the growing sentiment among the people of the Ashanti Region, who are eager to see one of their own play a significant role in the next administration. This movement underscores the broader regional dynamics at play within the NPP as they prepare for the upcoming elections.
They firmly believe she is more than capable of serving as Dr. Bawumia’s running mate in the general elections scheduled for December.
