Following the conclusion of the 2024 general elections, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, who was the running mate for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has reaffirmed his commitment to promoting unity within the party as it navigates the post-election landscape.
Speaking on the sidelines of a crucial NPP meeting held on Wednesday, April 16, Dr. Opoku Prempeh stressed the importance of internal harmony as the party begins to reflect on its performance in the just-ended elections and strategizes for the future. He noted that fostering unity among members is not only necessary for healing and regrouping but also for setting the tone for the party’s next phase of leadership.
“My immediate interest now is to get a united party for a flagbearer to be eventually crowned,” he stated. This declaration highlights his focus on strengthening the internal structures of the NPP and ensuring that the party remains a formidable political force in the years ahead.
In recent weeks, speculation has been rife regarding Dr. Opoku Prempeh’s potential presidential ambitions, with some party members and political observers suggesting he may be positioning himself for a bid in the 2028 elections. However, he was quick to address and dispel such rumors, stating emphatically, “No, I am not running in 2028.”
His firm denial puts to rest the circulating assumptions and redirects attention to his current priorities, which appear to center around fostering party unity and preparing the NPP for a smooth transition in leadership. As the party’s stakeholders analyze the election’s outcome and look ahead, Dr. Opoku Prempeh’s emphasis on cohesion suggests that he intends to play a stabilizing role in the NPP’s internal politics rather than pursuing personal ambition.
At a time when tensions and uncertainties often follow election seasons, his focus on togetherness and renewal reflects a broader vision of party strength and collective progress. Whether or not he eventually seeks higher office, Dr. Opoku Prempeh’s current posture positions him as a key figure in shaping the NPP’s direction in the years to come.
