Political analyst, Nana Oteatuoso Kokobeng II has added her voice to the raging debate over who succeeds Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

According to him, it is imperative that the New Patriotic Party settles on the current vice president, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, if the party intends to break the eighth cycle as it has been preached.

For him, it will not be an act of suicide if the biggest contender, John Alan Kyeremanteng, is told to face this reality if only the party is to gain power in 2024.

“The time has come for us to make Alan understand that Bawumia is our next president… making such a comment is not an act of suicide,” he said passionately.

He added that “I want to be clear, after President Nana Akufo-Addo, Bawumia is the next president”.

For him, ignoring Dr Mahamudu Bawumia will not only cloud the chances of the NDC, but will also arm the NDC whose 2020 election chief predicted the NPP will use and reject Bawumia like the party did to Alhaji Aliu Mahama.
