President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has appealed to all members and leadership of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to go out in their numbers and market the Bawumia-Opoku Prempeh ticket for the 2024 general elections.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr Akufo-Addo says he is expecting \u201csweet news\u201d that Dr Mahaudd Bawumia is the winner of the presidential elections after the December 7 polls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI want all of you here, the leadership of our party, from top to bottom, from the polling station to the national leadership, all members of the campaign committee, from the electoral area to the constituency, through the regions to the national level, to make an extra effort to go out and sell this golden ticket to every nook and cranny of or country to make sure when he results are declared, hopefully, on the 8th of December we will hear the sweet news, the 6th President of the Fourth Republic, Mahamudu Bawumia has won a clear victory,\u201d he said during the launch of the NPP\u2019s manifesto in Takoradi on Sunday August 19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For his part, the Flagbearer of the NPP, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, acknowledged the challenging times Ghana and the rest of the world have gone through in the past two years, and has also expressed relief and optimism at clear signs of recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the past two to three years, several economies around the world have been hit by unprecedented levels of inflation and rising cost of living, with Ghana getting its share as inflation hit over 50% at a point with fuel hitting nearly 20 Cedis per liter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking at the launch of the 2024 NPP Manifesto in Takoradi on Sunday, Dr. Bawumia honestly recounted the challenges the country faced and also gave a glimmer of hope, referencing considerable improvements, with inflation, in particular, now down to around 20%, as international agencies predict a turn around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe hardship is real. Our debt became unsustainable and had to be restructured. Bondholders saw a sharp decline in their net worth following the painful yet unavoidable debt restructuring program. We faced very challenging times,\u201d Dr. Bawumia recalled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut with calm leadership and the support and understanding of the good people of Ghana, we have weathered the worst of the storm and the economy is firmly on a path of recovery, with increasing GDP growth and declining inflation. It is gratifying to note that our policy interventions have started yielding the desired macroeconomic results,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
