Minister of Food and Agriculture, Dr. Bryan Acheampong, has responded to speculation of being considered as running mate to New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.

The Abetifi Member of Parliament (MP) has said he is not a contender among the potential running mates.

According to him, whoever will be selected is only in the mind of Dr Bawumia, who he is confident will choose the most suitable candidate.

“The only leading candidate that we know is in the mind of Dr. Bawumia. I am serving now but I was doing very well in business, if you know me. But I am serving now, so I am not a leading candidate for Dr. Bawumia.

Everything is in his head. He will choose, he will make the best decision for the party, and the party will rally behind that candidate,” he told journalists.
