The running mate selection process for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) is proceeding as planned, according to Dennis Miracles Aboagye, Director of Communications for Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s Campaign.

Aboagye went on to say that Dr. Bawumia has a definite favorite for his running mate.

Calls have been made for the NPP to immediately reveal its choice for running mate amid worries about possible delays and their consequences.

On Citi FM’s Eyewitness News, Mr. Aboagye provided comfort, saying that the party is still following its internal schedule and that the running mate could be revealed at any time. This was in an interview with Umaru Sanda Amadu.

“We are very much within the timeline. Dr Mahamudu Bawumia was elected barely six months ago and so we still have time. If you recall, his nomination in 2008 was done somewhere in August.”

“So, for us in the NPP, we are very much within our timelines. It can be tomorrow, it can be next week it can be next month, it can be three days from now. The flagbearer at this point is very clear in his mind who his running mate is going to be and when he is ready, he is going to announce that,” he stated.
