Former Deputy Minister of Agriculture, William Quaitoo has stated that vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is the best person to lead the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for future elections.
According to him, he [Bawumia] should succeed President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo if he refuses to seek for re-election.
Speaking on Accra-based Starr FM, the former deputy Agriculture minister said no one qualifies to lead the NPP in 2020 election to retain power except Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
He advised the party to give opportunity to Bawumia to contest the position if the Nana Addo refuses to run for re-election.
According to him, this will help erase the thought that the NPP is an Akan based party and disliked people of the North.
He said NPP has been perceived for far too long as an Akan party and though Bawumia’s tribe are in the minority.
Dr Bawumia should be Nana Akufo-Addo’s successor, he said.
William Quaitoo added that "Yes, in the sense that NPP has been treated for far too long as being an Akan party, though his [Dr. Bawumia] tribe are in the minority, I think seriously that if NPP should elect Dr. Bawumia as our next flagbearer when Nana steps down it will go a long way to erase this erroneous impression."

This man is not serious. Flag bearer what.Apuuu.Does he think we are in the NPP to come look at the sea in Accra? He better watch his mouth. When did Bawumia become NPP member? Please go in peace and stop this ***barred word*** face saving antics.
My friend, just go in peace if you have disgraced yourself in less than a year in office. Who are you to tell us who should be our flag bearer? Do you Akyem people think we are ***barred word*** heh? We are aware of your plans and we know Bawumia is in your corner but wait and see what's going to happen in 2020. Who is Bawumia to lead the party in 2020? When did he join the party to be the leader? You the Akyems and your followers like Bawumia will split the party again just like you did in 1979 because the rest of us are not just going to sit back and let you grab and run. We have seen how you have shared positions amongst yourselves and how you have marginalized other blocs in the party and you still think we are going to allow you to continue?
And what is wrong with that, Dragon?
After insulting Northerners as difficult and insincere people it looks like he now want to repair the damage he caused!!
