The Director of Communications for the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Richard Ahiagbah, has expressed strong confidence that Ghana's economy will experience accelerated growth under the leadership of Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.

Mr Ahiagbah urged Ghanaians to support Bawumia in the upcoming elections, emphasizing that his presidency will improve conditions for the citizenry.

His appeal follows a positive economic forecast from Fitch Solutions, which projects Ghana's economic growth to rise from 2.9% in 2023 to a three-year high of 5.5% in 2024.

This optimistic outlook reflects the government's ongoing efforts to stabilize and enhance the economy, providing a solid foundation for future growth.

Recent data from the Ghana Statistical Service further underscores this trend, revealing that the economy grew by an impressive 6.9% year-on-year in the second quarter of 2024, following a solid 4.8% growth in the first quarter.

These figures indicate a robust recovery and reinforce Ahiagbah's argument for the need to elect Bawumia as president.

In a statement on his X platform, Ahiagbah highlighted Bawumia's reliability and track record, asserting that he is a trustworthy leader who will fulfil his commitments to the nation.

He urged voters to consider the positive economic indicators and the potential for further growth when casting their ballots.

"Ghana’s economy is projected to grow 5.5% in 2024. This is nearly a 100% turnaround from the 2023 performance of 2.9%. The economy is moving in the right direction, and with Bawumia in the driver’s seat from 7th January 2025, this positive growth path will accelerate to improve conditions for Ghanaians."

“Vote for Bawumia for accelerated economic growth. Bawumia means business.”
