With the position of the flagbearer of the NPP settled, time has come for
the party's presidential candidate Nana Akuffo-Addo to choose
his running mate.
Many names have come up with people
speculating that he will
go in for a muslim as has been the tradition over the years. Another school
of thought also say
the Vice President could not help NPP win most votes from the Northern
Regions of Ghana so no muslim
or Northerner should be made the running mate.
In 2004, President Kufuor escaped by the skin of the teeth when the people
from the Central Region
decided on who should be the president. It was almost going to be a difficult ordeal
until the Cape Coasters
eventually voted for the New Patriotic Party.
A citizen of Cape Coast is therefore being sought to do the magic for the
NPP come this year.
The pundits and political analysts of our time are all tipping an
inspirational Amanfoo to take the Vice-Presidency baton and help the NPP to
victory on December 7.
Senior Ato Essuman, a member of the Council of State
and the Chief Director of Ghana Education Service, has been named to be the
running mate, according to the analysts.
Is it going to be
another Amanfoo in the castle? All hail Prempeh College
