Presidential aspirant of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and 2024 flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has taken a swipe at former President John Mahama, accusing him of double standards in attributing the country\u2019s economic challenges to global factors.<\/p>\n
Speaking on his campaign tour of the Eastern Region, Dr. Bawumia recalled that the NPP government consistently explained Ghana\u2019s economic downturn from 2022 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia\u2013Ukraine war.<\/p>\n
He noted that President John Mahama rejected this position during the 2024 elections, insisting instead that economic mismanagement was to blame.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have read that President Mahama, in an address in New York, admitted that prices of goods and services increased in Africa because of the economic challenges, and that over a decade of poverty reduction efforts were thwarted by the two-year pandemic. This shows he knew the truth, but he didn\u2019t say the same during the election period,\u201d Dr. Bawumia told party supporters.<\/p>\n
He further expressed optimism that Ghanaians would reward the NPP in the 2028 general elections, noting that the party remains committed to delivering sustainable economic development.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy God\u2019s grace, we will all see the truth, and I believe the NPP will be voted for in 2028 to bring economic development,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Dr. Bawumia is currently touring parts of the Eastern Region as part of efforts to consolidate grassroots support ahead of the next election cycle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
