Former Minister of Education, Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum has opened up about his potential to be a running mate to the NPP flagbearer.
Prior to the 2024 general elections, some names including Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, Apostle Opoku Onyinah, Madam Fremah Opare and others were circulating on social media as the possible running mate to then presidential candidate, former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
After the former Member of Parliament for Manhyia South, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh was chosen as the running mate some NPP groups from the camp of Dr. Adutwum expressed their disappointment for snubbing Dr. Adutwum whom they suggested was the good candidate.
Speaking in an interview on this development, the Member of Parliament for Bosomtwe Constituency stated that he would be happy if Dr. Bawumia chose him as the running mate.
Like what I was saying, I would be extremely glad if the running mate was given to me.” He stated.
According to him, if God has ordained him to occupy that position, nothing can stop it. Dr. Adutwum said he will not rush for any position in the party but whatever God and the party have for him will surely come to pass.
“My mind is not on anything now but what I know is that God has plans for everything and when the time is due, no human being can stop it. And so I won’t rush to lead God, I will wait and follow His steps and listen to what He has for me. Whatever God will say is what we will follow, God’s time is the best.” He stated.
When the presenter asked him whether he is still interested in the running mate position, the Lawmaker said “my brother, what I know is that if God opens the way, you can do whatever you want so we are praying.”
After the 2024 election, some political actors especially within the NPP were suggesting that the NPP could win the election if Dr. Adutwum was chosen as the running mate.
