Businesses are struggling despite stability of Cedi - Bawumia

Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), expressed on Saturday, October 3, that Ghana's businesses are struggling despite the stability of the Cedi. He stated that businesses face a high cost of living despite the stable currency. Bawumia criticized the Mahama administration for failing to deliver on its promises, particularly the 24-hour economy policy, claiming that almost two years into office, the government has not implemented this policy.

He urged the NPP aspirants to accept the results in good faith and hold the Mahama government accountable without fear of arrest and intimidation. Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin echoed these sentiments, urging the NPP and the Minority to be bold in criticizing the government and supporting the flagbearer ahead of the 2028 elections.

Former President John Agyekum Kufuor also addressed the gathering, expressing hope that the NPP will lead Ghana to prosperity and transformation. Akufo-Addo, another former president, predicted victory for the NPP in the 2028 general elections, alongside Dr Bawumia. The NPP was holding its National Delegates Congress and national officers' elections in Kumasi to elect the party's next crop of national executives.
