Urgent Call for NPP to Announce 2024 Running Mate, Says Political Analyst
Dr. Kwame Asah-Asante, a senior political science lecturer, urges the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to swiftly announce its running mate for the 2024 general elections, emphasizing the importance of timely action amidst increasing election fervor.
Senior Political Science lecturer at the University of Ghana, Dr. Kwame Asah-Asante, has urged the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to promptly announce its running mate for the upcoming 2024 general elections.
Dr. Asah-Asante stressed the necessity for thorough consultation but emphasized the urgency of the situation as election fervor escalates nationwide. Speaking to Citi News, he underscored the importance of balancing comprehensive consultation with timely action.
Cautioning against prolonged delays, Dr. Asah-Asante highlighted the risks of facing heightened scrutiny and challenges for the chosen candidate if announced too late into the campaign.
"The party must be mindful of the fact that time is not on their side. Yes, you want to consult broadly but you can’t spend all your life on that. By now, they should be out with a candidate who has all the qualities that they want so that it doesn’t delay the campaign unnecessarily," he remarked.
Dr. Asah-Asante emphasized the need for the candidate to be introduced early to mitigate potential issues arising from late scrutiny during an ongoing campaign.
"I think the delay is becoming too much. I think the party must quickly come out with a running mate," he concluded.
