Napo set to be unveiled as NPP running mate

The NPP will today unveil its running mate in the upcoming 2020 elections. Matthew Opoku Prempeh has been selected by the Presidential Candidate of the Party, Matthew Opoku Prempeh after a period of intense lobbying.
The newly elected running mate who is set to exit as the MP for Manhyia South brings on board a wealth of experience having served as MP since 2009 and also occupied two key Ministerial positions as Minister of Energy and Minister of Education.
He is credited as the man who was tasked with the implementation of the NPP flagship programme, thhe Free SHS.
In recent times, he has come under criticism following comments he has made that have been described as arrogant.
But the NPP starlwart garnered tremendous support following a controversial BNI Report that placed him at the top of the contenders for the NPP Running Mate position.
Sources in the Party indicate that the eleaborate unveiling of Napo in the NPP stronghold of Ashanti Region is a strategic move aimed at rallying party faithful in the region who appear disillusioned in the heat of an economic crisis triggered by high government borrowing, depreciation of the cedi against major international currencies and high levels of inflation and interest rates.
