The Energy Minister cum Manhyia South Member of Parliament appears to lead the list of prospective candidates for the position.

Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh’s name is said to have been handed to the President of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

A source within the Presidency revealed Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, affectionately called “NAPO”, was discussed as the potential candidate for the Running Mate position.

“I know Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh’s name was discussed and the President is okay with that”, the source said.
