The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has confirmed Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh as their running mate. A recently discovered video of Prempeh has caused fury and alarm among party members, especially in the Ashanti Region. The video, which purports to show Dr. Opoku Prempeh disparaging the Ashanti people, went viral and damaged his recent nomination. Dr. Mathew Opoku Prempeh stated in the widely shared video that Asantes doesn't need to improve before supporting the NPP. If we are unable to campaign, all we need to do is exchange t-shirts (one voter for each t-shirt), and Asantes will only vote for the NPP."
The NPP's greatest bastion is the Ashanti Region, which often turns up sizable turnouts that are essential to the party's electoral victory. Dr. Opoku Prempeh, also referred to as "Napo," is currently dealing with a strong backlash from the exact area that is crucial to the NPP's election success. The controversy and possible harm to the party's reputation and base of support are increased by the timing of this video's publication, which comes right after his confirmation as the running mate. Analysts and political scientists are already discussing the possible fallout from this episode. Political expert Dr. Kwame Asamoah believes that the film may have a significant impact on how well the NPP does in the next elections. For the NPP, the Ashanti Region is essential.
A significant drop in support would be harmful to the party's chances if there was any sense of disdain or insult towards the Asantes. Ashanti Region supporters' responses are conflicting; some want Dr. Opoku Prempeh to publicly apologize, while others aren't sure he should be the running partner. The opposition parties will probably take advantage of this to influence voters in the area, making the NPP's campaigning even more difficult.
