Retired Commissioner of Police (COP) Nathan Kofi Boakye was spotted leading John Mahama as Asanteman observed a durbar of chiefs to mark the 150th Anniversary of the Sagrenti War, a historic conflict between the Asantes and the British Colonial Army in 1874.

The commemorative durbar, named “Kuntunkuni” to honor the memories of the war, saw the presence of John Mahama and other prominent political figures. Notably, Kofi Boakye, dressed in black, escorted John Mahama to the event.

Earlier, the retired police chief was observed participating in the campaign efforts of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to regain power from the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP). He joined the NDC's 24-hour Economy Sensitization Walk in Kumasi, Ashanti Region, alongside former President John Dramani Mahama and NDC National Chairman Johnson Asiedu Nketiah.

There's growing speculation that Boakye might be selected as the running mate for NDC presidential candidate John Mahama in the upcoming December 2024 elections.

Sources within the NDC suggest that discussions and selection processes are ongoing, with increasing confidence that Mahama will nominate Boakye, considering their close relationship and Boakye's ties to the influential Manhyia Palace in the Ashanti Region.

Despite retiring from the Ghana Police Service with a reputation for professionalism and bravery, Boakye's potential selection as Mahama's running mate has sparked debates. While some believe it could boost Mahama's chances of winning the presidency, others argue that Boakye's presence on the ticket might ensure a more robust response to the NPP's alleged election rigging plans in 2024.
