Former General Secretary of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), John Boadu, has responded to the calls on Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, NPP presidential candidate, to announce his Running Mate soon.

The period for the declaration of the Running Mate for the New Patriotic Party(NPP) remains sketchy as none of the campaign team members of Dr. Bawumia is willing to specify the date that the Vice President will unveil his partner into the December polls.

However, names like Matthew Opoku Prempeh, Manhyia South lawmaker and Energy Minister, Akosua Frema Osei-Opare, Chief of Staff, Yaw Osei Adutwum, Education Minister, Henry Kwabena Kokofu, former Chief Executive of the Environmental Protection Agency and a host of others have dropped for consideration.

As pressure mounts on Dr. Bawumia to make public his Running Mate, John Boadu wonders why people are so eager compelling the Vice President to select his partner in the soonest possible time.

John Boadu, now the Director-General of the State Interest and Governance Authority (SIGA), speaking on Peace FM's "Kokrokoo" show, delivered a brief message to those making the demands.

"Vice presidential candidate is not up for contest, meaning nobody can say it is my turn or it is my right. If you want to become President, go and contest the elections. Didn't we open nomination for presidential candidate?...Vice President is just a heart away from the President. So, you who want to become a President, why didn't you file it when we opened our nominations?", he stated.
