Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, the Minister of Communication and Digitalization, has addressed speculations surrounding her potential selection as the running mate for Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia in the 2024 elections.

In an interview on UTV, the Member of Parliament for Ablekuma West clarified that, despite her close relationship with the Vice President, who also serves as the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), they have not had discussions about her being offered such a position.

“We talk a lot but we haven’t talked about running mate matters because we have a lot of work to do. As for me, I would like us to leave him (Dr Bawumia) to take his time to look for the one that he would want to become his running mate.

“…so far, we have been discussing our digital agenda matters and things that we are supposed to do as a matter of urgency…and my focus is also on my parliamentary elections,” she said.

Ursula Owusu reaffirmed her dedication to serving her country in all capacities and said she would be willing to accept any position that would advance the development of her country.

She added “God’s time is the best and for me, I am a servant, so, in whichever capacity God would say I should serve I will do that

“…there will be a time when we will have a female president; the time will be due and we are getting there," Ursula Owusu added.

Notable figures have emerged in the contest to be Dr. Bawumia's running mate, including Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, Dr. Mathew Opoku Prempeh, the minister of energy, Dr. Osei Yaw Adutwum, and Chief of Staff Akosua Frema Opare.
