The political scene is gaining momentum as the running mate of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh (NAPO), has made two prominent visits to the Bekwai constituency within four days.

On September 21, 2024, Dr. Opoku Prempeh initiated his campaign by engaging with the Amoafo and Bekwai traditional councils, introducing himself as the NPP's candidate for the upcoming elections.

Shortly thereafter, he visited the paramount chief and elders of the Kokofu traditional council to extend his outreach.

These visits were intended to seek blessings and communicate the NPP's vision of hope and progress for the nation.

In his speeches, Dr. Opoku Prempeh promised to visit all seven paramountcies in Bekwai ahead of the December 7 elections. He urged the chiefs to inspire their people to support the NPP, emphasizing the government's achievements like the Free SHS program and other vital development projects.

He also backed Lawyer Ralph Poku-Adusei as the successor to Joe Osei Owusu, cautioning against independent candidates who could disrupt the party's unity and success.

Dr. Opoku Prempeh highlighted Bekwai's significance within the Ashanti Region, noting that it is home to seven paramount chiefs and nine Abrempong, all loyal to the Golden Stool. He vowed to ensure the NPP secures major victories in both the presidential and parliamentary elections.

His campaign activities have reinvigorated the NPP's grassroots efforts, energizing party officials and supporters in the Bekwai constituency as they gear up for the December elections.
