Members of the Northern Regional Caucus communication team in the Ashanti region have appealed to the NPP flag bearer, His Excellency Dr Mahamudu Bawumiah and the entire NPP leadership to make the MP for Ejisu and Deputy Finance minister, John Ampontuah Kumah as the running mate.
The Secretary of the Group, Yussif Badawi revealed that the deputy finance minister is an entrepreneur who understands the needs of the younger generation just like the flag bearer’s dream is to enhance the digitalisation agenda to create jobs for the youth.
According to the group, before the party can break the eight, it needed to bring someone who is very influential, unifier and competent to compliment Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
To them, the only person who fits such description is the current MP for Ejisu and deputy finance minister, John Ampontuah Kumah.
Addressing the press on their reasons for selecting Lawyer John Kumah, Chairman of the group, Alhaji Gawo said, apart from John Kumah influence in the Ashanti region, John Kumah is a man of peace who also commands respect and pulls crowd across all the 16 regions of Ghana.
They are also of the view that John Kumah is a big threat to the NDC and its presidential candidate, John Dramani Mahama.
