Bawumia on the campaign trail

Ahead of the December polls, Bawumia is coming off a three-day campaign tour of the Ashanti Region to share his vision. This has sparked speculation that the vice president may announce his running mate from the Ashanti Region while on the tour.

At the end of 2023, the NPP granted Bawumia additional time to select his running mate.

The NPP’s National Council agreed to waive the requirement that the vice presidential candidate be chosen one year before elections.
