Seasoned journalist, Kwesi Pratt has lashed out at the presidential candidates of the various political parties for their delay in announcing their Running Mates.
Dwelling on the two main political parties, the New Patriotic Party and the National Democratic Congress, whose flagbearers, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and John Dramani Mahama are yet to select their Running Mates, Mr. Pratt found this very annoying.
Regarding the NPP, notable names such as Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, the Energy Minister, Apostle Dr Opoku Onyinah, former Chairman of the Church of Pentecost, Dr Yaw Adutwum, out-going Minister for Education and Mr. Henry Kwabena Kokofu, Chief Executive Officer of the Environmental Protection Agency have popped up as potential candidates for the Running Mate position.
As to who becomes Running Mate to former President John Dramani Mahama, the former Education Minister, Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, former Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah and Togbe Afede XIV, the President of Asogli Traditional Council, have been marked for the position.
Reacting to the issue during Peace FM's morning show "Kokrokoo", Mr. Pratt expressed disgust over the flagbearers' seeming inability to declare their partners into this year's December elections.
"This delay and antics that the presidential candidates are doing doesn't impress me. Truthfully, I don't like it at all. Name the person and stop the delay. If you can't make up your mind about your campaign team and Running Mate early, what will motivate us to believe when you come into power, you can make up your mind about the key issues about the economy and so on in time. So, for me, this thing is annoying", he exclaimed.

This Pratt guy is a hypocrate..... John Mahama was elected close to one year now and has not been able to choose a running mate since...... Stop adding NPP to this your frustration. NPP just elected their candidate a few months ago. By the way when will your party elect your candidate?
But it's not annoying that your CPP is not even alive, let alone elect a candidate bf thinking about a running mate. Charity begins at home
Mr. Prat! but your party elected it's presidential candidate long long ago before NPP elected their own. Why didn't you put pressure on him then? and why now? Hypocrite and a stomach Journalist/Politician
What will you use the announcement for, Kwesi Pratt teeth.
Hey, Dr. Adutwum has not been affected by the latest reshuffle by the president. He was and still is the minister for education. To say he's the outgoing minister of education simply means you are out of touch with current affairs relative to the reshuffle . In the past a lot of people used to rely on Ghana's media when it comes to accurate and reliable information thanks to the due delegence journalist of old. Today's journalist don't even read some of their news items before putting it out in the public domain. The amazing thing is that when you draw their attention to their errors, they won't go in to correct them. Thus what they do is to misinform
IT IS ALSO EXTREMELY ANNOYING TO PUT PRESSURE ON THEM (THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES) TO ANNOUNCE THEIR RUNNIG MATES. YOU CAN ANNOUNCE FOR THEM IF YOU THINK YOU ARE IN A HURRY TO HEAR!
