The presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has responded to the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, after Mahama urged the electorate to vote for him to “reset” Ghana. Mahama made this call during the NDC’s manifesto launch, emphasizing the need for voters to massively support him, as he believes the country is “bleeding” and in need of change.
However, during his media engagement on Sunday, August 25, Dr Bawumia responded to Mahama, stating that the country needs an upgrade, not a reset. He outlined 14 key commitments he intends to undertake when elected in the 2024 elections, including the creation of jobs, and building Ghana into a world-class digital economy amongst others.
“I represent the future, Ghana needs an upgrade, not a reset. I have also outlined my 14 key commitments to the Ghanaian people. These are to sustain and expand Ghana’s rebounding economy, create new jobs, implement wide-ranging tax reforms, and build Ghana into a world-class digital economy.
“Reduce the cost of living, expand public infrastructure, provide better healthcare for all, Implement Affirmative Action for girls and women, provide good governance, care for the elderly, and expand educational opportunities for all. Protect our borders while keeping our neighbourhood safe.”
