Ekua Amoakoh explains how Bawumia’s briefing drew her closer to NPP before 2024 elections

Dr Ekua Amoakoh, spokesperson for NPP flagbearer Dr Mahamudu Bawumia and the party's Health Committee, shared how her perspective on the New Patriotic Party evolved ahead of the 2024 general elections. Previously disengaged from the NPP, Dr Amoakoh's interest shifted after conducting research into the party's health sector performance and attending a briefing by Dr Bawumia for party communicators.

Dr Amoakoh's interest was particularly piqued by Dr Bawumia's discussion of unconventional solutions to economic challenges, such as the domestic gold purchase programme. She praised his ability to think creatively in addressing problems, believing his leadership could lead to prosperity. Dr Amoakoh emphasized her belief that Ghana needed leadership focused on both tackling corruption and fostering economic growth.

Drawing parallels to successful countries like South Korea and China, Dr Amoakoh argued that Ghana was lagging in its economic development compared to other nations. Dr Amoakoh's insights, shared in a JoyNews PM Express interview with Emefa Adeti, provide a glimpse into the motivations behind her political involvement and her endorsement of Dr Bawumia's governance approach.
