The presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, will, on Monday, 19 February 2024, present the list of his campaign team to the National Executive Committee (NEC) for its consideration and approval.
Sources familiar with the campaign composition process undertaken by the NPP presidential candidate, Dr Bawumia, indicate that the NPP leader has been carrying out broad consultations within the party's rank and file.
“The list to be presented to NEC during its scheduled meeting on Monday will reflect the philosophy, strategy, and focus of the NPP’s 2024 campaign,” one source at the party headquarters at Asylum Down said.
Following the presentation of the list to NEC, “Team Bawumia” is expected to be announced after the meeting, with some political heavyweights and dynamic individuals in the mix.
