Dr. Amakye Boateng, a Political Science lecturer at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, KNUST, has described as problematic, the recent endorsement of Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia by Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta. The Minister said in an interview with Metro TV last week that the Vice President had shown that he was a capable hand to take over after his boss, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo. The claim, according to the lecturer, does not bode well for the party going into the keenly awaited 2024 elections. He added: “Ghanaians will not allow the political patronage playing up in the party. Bawumia is seen as a leading candidate in the race for the New Patriotic Party flagbearership slot.
