I’m Ready to Be Bawumia’s Running Mate If He Calls on Me” — Dr. Yaw Adutwum

Dr. Yaw Adutwum, former Minister of Education, has declared his readiness to serve as Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s running mate if called upon.

In a statement ahead of the NPP’s running mate selection, Dr. Adutwum made clear that he is willing to take on the role should Dr. Bawumia, the party’s flagbearer, choose him as his partner for the upcoming election. His declaration signals both loyalty to the party’s leadership and personal ambition to occupy one of the highest offices in the land.

The former Education Minister’s statement comes as the NPP continues its process of selecting a running mate. Dr. Adutwum’s public expression of readiness places his name firmly among the potential candidates being considered, and it reflects his confidence in his ability to serve in the role.

By stating that he is ready if called upon, Dr. Adutwum is deferring to Dr. Bawumia’s decision while making his availability clear. His phrasing suggests respect for the selection process and the flagbearer’s prerogative to choose the person he believes best complements his ticket.

Dr. Adutwum’s tenure as Minister of Education gives him a profile rooted in policy and governance, particularly in the education sector. Should he be selected, his candidacy would bring that experience to the national campaign.

The running mate selection process is closely watched within the party and beyond, as the choice can shape the direction and appeal of the ticket. Dr. Adutwum’s openness to the role adds another dimension to the conversations surrounding the NPP’s preparations for the election.

For now, the decision rests with Dr. Bawumia, but Dr. Adutwum has made his position known: he is ready to serve if the call comes.
