Director of Research at the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA), Dr. John Kwakye, has called on Ghanaians to reject leaders who rely on borrowing to drive the country’s development.
He argues that Ghana possesses abundant natural resources capable of fostering national growth and should not depend on external debt.
“Ghanaians must reject leaders with a borrowing mindset. We have enough resources here at home. We don’t need to go out and borrow. We should accept only leaders prepared to enable Ghana to derive maximum benefit from its natural resource wealth,” Dr. Kwakye stated in a social media post.
In a separate post on X (formerly Twitter), Dr. Kwakye outlined six critical factors he believes will influence the election outcome: the economy, illegal small-scale mining (galamsey), corruption, nepotism and cronyism, LGBTQ+ issues, and the Free Senior High School program.
“Elections are almost invariably a judgment on the incumbent administration—its record,” he said.
