NPP Running Mate Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh Prioritizes Party Unity, Dismisses 2028 Presidential Ambitions
ACCRA, April 16, 2025 — Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) running mate for the 2024 presidential elections, has affirmed that his sole focus is on ensuring party unity ahead of the next electoral cycle—firmly dispelling growing speculation about a potential 2028 presidential bid.
Speaking at the sidelines of the NPP’s strategic meeting on Wednesday, Dr. Opoku Prempeh—widely known as Napo—stressed the critical need for internal cohesion as the party gears up for Ghana’s 2028 general elections.
“My immediate interest now is to get a united party for a flagbearer to be eventually crowned,” he said, clearly signaling his commitment to the party’s stability and victory rather than personal political ambition.
His comments come amid increasing public discourse around potential successors within the NPP. However, Dr. Prempeh dismissed the speculation surrounding his future candidacy in no uncertain terms: “No, I am not running in 2028.”
The former Education Minister’s declaration is seen as a strategic move to shift attention back to the party’s core mission of rallying its base and consolidating efforts behind the current leadership. His remarks are also being interpreted as an effort to cool internal competition and prevent distractions as the party maps out its path toward long-term electoral success.
With the NPP leadership currently focused on solidifying grassroots support and defining its post-2024 vision, Dr. Prempeh’s reaffirmation of loyalty and discipline adds a stabilizing force to the party’s narrative.
Political analysts say his stance may serve to reinforce unity within the NPP’s ranks, particularly among younger party faithful looking for clarity and direction amid the shifting political landscape.
As the December 2028 elections loom on the horizon, Dr. Prempeh’s message is clear: the strength and unity of the New Patriotic Party come first.
