The Chief of Staff at the Presidency, Mrs. Akosua Frema Osei-Opare has stated that she is grateful to those projecting her as running mate to the yet to be elected flag bearer for the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Speaking to journalists at the NPP Headquarter in Accra, Madam Osei-Opare however added that her focus now is the party electing a candidate who can win the 2024 election.

“Wherever you’ve heard that I am the running mate, I thank them. But I’ve not heard that yet,” madam Osei-Opare stated.
She continued: “If you don’t have a flag bearer, you don’t have a running mate. My focus is to get a good flag bearer who will ‘break the 8’. The will of God will manifest.”
