Ghana’s upcoming elections
Ghana’s general elections on December 7, 2024, are set to be a pivotal moment in the country’s democratic journey. The elections will determine the next president and members of Parliament, with all 275 parliamentary seats up for grabs. The elections come at a time when Ghana is facing significant economic challenges, including high inflation and unemployment rates.
The two main political parties, the NDC and the New Patriotic Party (NPP), are in a fierce contest for power. The NPP’s candidate, Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, is campaigning under the slogan “It is possible,” with a focus on digitalization and economic diversification. Meanwhile, Mahama is advocating for policies such as a 24-hour economy and stronger anti-corruption measures, including implementing the recommendations of the auditor general’s report.
