Calm Down and Wait – Gordon Asare-Bediako Dismisses Running Mate Speculation Around Bawumia

The New Patriotic Party ( NPP ) national communication director aspirant, Gordon Asare-Bediako has urged party faithful and political observers to stop speculating about who the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) 2028 flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, will choose as his running mate, insisting that the decision has long been settled in the flagbearer’s mind.

Making his assertion on Kessben Maakye show in Accra, Asare-Bediako claimed, while many people have been engaging in public commentary and circulating names of possible running mates, Dr. Bawumia already knows the person he intends to select.
He noted that several lists circulating on social media and other platforms claiming to reveal the chosen running mate were false, adding that similar speculation also surrounded the selection of Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh (NAPO) ahead of the 2024 elections.

Asare-Bediako further dismissed claims by some individuals who allegedly say they have already been chosen by Dr. Bawumia as his running mate, describing such assertions as untrue.
“I know there are people who have interest, but they should all calm down and wait for the appointed time without putting unnecessary pressure on the party,” he said.

He advised anyone interested in becoming the running mate to approach the party’s flagbearer directly rather than fueling speculation in the public domain.
