Presidential Candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has blamed President Akufo-Addo and Vice President Dr Mahamdu Bawumia for Ghana’s economy being classified as one of the worst-performing in the world.
In a post on Facebook he said, “This Akufo-Addo and Bawumia government has allowed our economy to be classified among the worst-performing in the world.
Together, we must RESET Ghana. Vote for change on December 7th.

#ResettingGhana”.
Mr. Mahams urged Ghanaians to vote for him, promising to rebuild the economy.
His remarks come as President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo highlighted signs of economic recovery on Wednesday, 20th November 2024, while commissioning The Bank Square in Accra.
President Akufo-Addo noted that recent data from the Bank of Ghana indicates the economy is firmly on the path to recovery.
He cited provisional GDP growth of 6.9% in the second quarter of 2024, with a strong non-oil growth rate of 7.0%, reflecting the resilience of the agriculture, industry, and services sectors.
“This milestone is a testament to the Bank of Ghana’s commitment to sound monetary policies under the leadership of Governor Ernest Addison and his dedicated team. I applaud their efforts, as well as the creativity and expertise of the architects, engineers, and contractors especially GoldKey Properties, a wholly Ghanaian entity that brought this vision to life. Together, we are building a foundation for a resilient economy, inclusive growth, and a brighter future for all Ghanaians.”
“As we celebrate this achievement, I call on all of us to continue working together to build an economy that is stable, inclusive, and prosperous. The Bank Square is not just a symbol of what we have accomplished; it is an inspiration for what lies ahead. Let us remain united in our efforts to make Ghana great and strong!” he said.
