Bawumia's running mate saga

The Vice President and NPP flagbearer is yet to name his running mate ahead of the December 7 polls.

Several names had been bandied about, including that of the Education Minister, Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, and Energy Minister, Matthew Opoku Prempeh.

Recently, the former Chairman of the Church of Pentecost was also suspected to be in the race following a Facebook post that caused a stir.

However, he quickly clarified that he was not making any commitment to the NPP running mate slot.
