According to Malik Basintale, Deputy Communications Officer for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Energy Minister Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh, often known as Napo, is not a qualified choice to be Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s running partner.
Dr. Bawumia has declared his choice of running partner for President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the majority caucus, and the New Patriotic Party.
Basintale remarked in an interview with Selorm Adonoo on Point Blank on Eyewitness News on Citi FM on Wednesday that the Energy Minister lacks the essential qualifications to serve as his running mate.
According to Basintable, the former Education Minister has a poor reputation and is known for his attitude.
“[Napo] is a very bad candidate…He has a very bad track record…He was the same person who came to take us back to dumsor and today lights go off recklessly here and there. Same man.”
“So people know the man Napo. People know how arrogant he is, people know how confrontational, how he lacks the temperament, how he lacks the competencies to fit in the space of being a running mate,” he stated.
