The Progressive People’s Party (PPP) has settled on Mr. Kofi Asamoah-Siaw as its 2024 presidential candidate for the presidential election.
The party, by a unanimous decision, confirmed him as the candidate since he was the sole candidate who filed to contest in the party’s primary at the close of filing, Rainbowradioonline.com has gathered.
Details available indicate that the decision to confirm Mr. Asamoah Siaw was reached at the party’s extraordinary national executive committee meeting.
Mr. Asamoah-Siaw was approved at the meeting because, at the time the party was closing nominations, he was the only one who had been picked, and so he was affirmed by the National Executive Committee.
The candidate will file his nomination forms to contest the presidential election on Friday, September 13, 2024.
The candidate is also anticipated to name a running mate before filing nomination forms, as is required by law for political parties intending to run in the presidential election.
The party in a statement issued and signed by Remy Paa Kow Edmondson, said National Secretary “The Progressive People’s Party (PPP) is pleased to announce that Mr. Kofi Asamoah-Siaw has been approved as the party’s Flagbearer for the upcoming 2024 general elections. This decision was made during an extraordinary National Committee meeting, where Mr. Asamoah-Siaw was the sole candidate to have picked and filed his nomination, thereby running unopposed.
The party believes that Mr. Asamoah-Siaw’s wealth of experience in politics and his professional background as a seasoned Banker make him an ideal candidate to lead the PPP to victory in the 2024 elections. His previous roles within the party, including National Secretary and Policy Director, demonstrate his commitment and dedication to the PPP’s ideals.
Mr. Asamoah-Siaw has a proven track record in politics, having contested in the 2012 Parliamentary elections for the Akyem Oda Constituency and serving as the vice-presidential candidate for the PPP in the 2020 general elections.
The PPP is confident that with Mr. Asamoah-Siaw at the helm, the party will break the duopoly held by the NPP and NDC in the upcoming elections and increase its fortunes.”
