Dan Botwe to be named Bawumia’s campaign manager
Former Minister of Local Government and Rural Development, Dan Botwe, is expected to be appointed as the campaign manager for the New Patriotic Party’s flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, for the 2024 general elections. This decision comes shortly after President Akufo-Addo named MP for Techiman South, Martin Adjei Mensah Korsah, as his replacement.
It is unclear whether Botwe’s new position is related to the recent reshuffle by the President, but sources close to the NPP Flagbearer indicate that the decision was made after extensive consultations.
According to African Editors’ sources, the announcement of Botwe’s appointment will be made following National Executive Committee and National Council meetings on Monday, during which the Vice President will introduce his campaign team. Dr. Bawumia is also expected to unveil his campaign team next week.
The Party’s General Secretary, Mr Justin Koduah Frimpong, highlighted Dr. Bawumia’s clear vision for the nation, stating that the Flagbearer wasted no time in announcing his policy direction just a few months after being elected as the presidential candidate.
During the acclamation of Mr Samuel Abu Jinapor as the parliamentary candidate of Damongo in the Savannah Region, Mr Koduah Frimpong contrasted Dr. Bawumia’s swift policy direction announcement with the apparent lack of policy direction from the NDC Flagbearer, former President John Mahama, after a year of being elected as flagbearer.
