The newly elected presidential candidate for the Convention People’s Party (CPP), Nana Frimpomaa Kumankumah, has dismissed rumors on social media that she plans to run alongside broadcast journalist Blessed Godsbrain Smart, also known as Captain Smart, in the 2024 presidential elections.

Clarifying the situation, Nana Frimpomaa Kumankumah stated that neither she nor the CPP has made any decisions about her running mate.

She urged the public to ignore these unfounded social media claims, emphasizing that an official announcement regarding her running mate will be made in due course.

Elected as the CPP's presidential candidate on September 4, Nana Frimpomaa Kumankumah won the party's nomination through a competitive electoral process that spanned all 16 regions of Ghana.

With 763 votes, she triumphed over her rival, Nana Yaw Anokye Frimpong, who received 586 votes out of a total of 1,360 cast, with 11 votes rejected.

In her victory address, Nana Frimpomaa Kumankumah called for party unity to ensure a strong performance in the upcoming December 7 general election.

“In every election, one person will emerge as the winner, and it is essential for everyone to stand together to ensure unity and cohesion,” she stated.

“I thank all who voted for me and even those who did not. My win was decisive and represents the voice of the masses,” she added.

She discussed the matter during an interview with Asaase Radio, based in Accra.
