Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has asserted that Ghana’s economy requires an upgrade rather than a reset.
This comment appears to be a direct response to the campaign messaging of his main rival, John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), who has been advocating for a reset of the economy.
While acknowledging the current economic challenges facing the country, Dr. Bawumia disagreed with Mr. Mahama’s approach. Speaking at his first press conference in Accra, Dr. Bawumia emphasized, “What this country needs is an upgrade, not a reset. And if given the mandate, I will roll out the measures outlined in our recently launched manifesto to revamp the economy.”
He also expressed surprise at Mr. Mahama’s criticisms of the government’s economic management. “Sometimes I get amazed when former President Mahama talks about economic mismanagement. He should know his own record,” Dr. Bawumia remarked.
