Mr. Yaw Dabie Appiah Mensah, a leading member of the NPP in the Bono Region, said, “Our political Party is not a monarchy which has some particular royals or families destined to lead.”

“Some party people claim it's not the time for Vice President Bawumia to lead the NPP in 2024. In fact, I am always saddened because such words and comments are unhealthy political talks that can create disunity and affect our fortunes,” Mr. Mensah Stated.

“As we speak now, Dr. Bawumia is the best option for NPP in the next election,” he added.

“We must allow the Party structures and systems to work and give everybody a fair playing field and treatment to contest the primaries,” Mr. Mensah stated.

The NPP's Vetting Committee has cleared 10 aspirants, including Dr. Bawumia, to contest the primaries for the 2024 elections.
