Following at a distance were Dr. Osei Yaw Adutwum (23.23%), Kennedy Ohene Agyapong (12.58%), and others, with 2.10% indicating a preference for none of the listed candidates.<\/p>\n<p>The reasons behind the respondents\u2019 preferences shed light on their priorities. A significant 29.15% highlighted the need for a candidate who complements Dr. Bawumia, adding value to the ticket through political experience and innovative ideas.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, 21.34% emphasised the importance of the candidate\u2019s ability to attract floating voters. Interestingly, religious and gender balance were not prominent factors among the diaspora NPP support base.<\/p>\n<p>Empirical evidence from the poll, coupled with in-depth conversations with external branch executives and members, strongly suggests that Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, the current Minister for Energy and the Member of Parliament for Manhyia North is the preferred NPP vice presidential candidate in the diaspora.<\/p>\n<p>The survey aligns with the Diaspora Patriotic Forum\u2019s commitment to providing a platform for NPP members and sympathisers to voice their opinions on party matters and national development affairs.<\/p>\n<p>While the ultimate decision rests with NPP presidential candidate Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the overwhelming support for Napo expressed by the diaspora NPP community adds a significant dimension to the party\u2019s considerations for the 2024 general elections.<\/p>\n<p>DPF is a voluntary think tank for the New Patriotic Party in the diaspora. It is a source of credible and reliable information, education, policies, and research amongst others in the diaspora which are utilised to support the wider political agenda of the NPP.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 2 -->\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh \u00a0 The Diaspora Patriotic Forum (DPF), a New Patriotic Party (NPP) think tank abroad, has conducted a comprehensive week-long opinion poll regarding the NPP\u2019s 2024 vice presidential candidature.
