The Asantehene has advised the running mate for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to show humility as he joins the flagbearer ahead of the general election.
According to Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, this is the only way to ensure the compatibility of the duo as the party seeks progress.
This advice was given after President Akufo-Addo presented Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh as the running mate of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
During his brief speech at Manhyia, the Asantehene recounted the days when he helped Dr. Prempeh through school, including paying his fees.
Acknowledging Dr. Opoku Prempeh's achievements, he stressed that he had heard rumors regarding the Energy Minister's attitude.
He said the claims suggest that the running mate is arrogant.
The King wondered about the cause of this allegation, as he never saw that trait in the man he affectionately described as his son.
Asantehene also cautioned Dr. Prempeh to ensure that Dr. Bawumia never regrets selecting him as his running mate.
