Meanwhile, the Deputy Communications Officer for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Malik Basintale, has criticised the suitability of Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh as Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia's running mate for the NPP.
During an interview on Accra-based Citi FM on Wednesday, July 3, 2024, Basintale expressed his view that the Energy Minister lacks the necessary qualifications for running mate.
