The flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia will today, Monday, February 19, 2024, set to submit to the National Executive Committee of his party members of his campaign team ahead of December 7, presidential election.

The list of the campaign team is expected to be presented at the NEC and National Council (NC) meeting for its consideration and approval.

The list to be presented is expected to reflect the philosophy, strategy and focus of the NPP's 2024 campaign.

The NPP flag bearer's campaign team is expected to have a blend of experience and youth, to prosecute the electioneering of the governing party for a third consecutive victory at the polls in 2024.

Sources say the former Minister of Local Government and Rural Development, Dan Botwe, is tipped to head Bawumia's campaign team.

Mr Dan Botwe's rich experience in politics made him the top-notch leader to ensure Bawumia's victory in the coming election.

He was recently relieved of their post last week in a reshuffle done by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo but it's unclear if his yet-to-be-announced position contributed to his sack from the Akufo-Addo-led government.

Other names that have popped up as possible members of Dr Bawumia’s campaign team are a former First National Vice Chairman of the NPP, Fred Oware; a former National Chairman of the NPP and campaign manager for President Akufo-Addo’s 2016 and 2020 campaigns, Peter Mac Manu.

Other members who are likely to be in the team are Nana Akomea, who would be in charge of Communications; former Coordinator of Zongo Development, Dr Ben Abdallah Banda; a former NPP MP for Suhum, Frederick Opare Ansah; a former Deputy Minister, Anthony Karbo, and a former National Organiser of the NPP, Sammi Awuku, to inject dynamism into the campaign.
