A spokesperson for the 2024 Bawumia campaign team, Dennis Miracles Aboagye, has asserted that Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s track record in managing the economy as Vice President surpasses that of former President John Mahama.
He attributes this to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government’s proactive measures to stabilize the cedi and address economic challenges.
During an interview on Citi FM on Monday, Mr. Aboagye acknowledged the cedi’s depreciation against the dollar but maintained that the NPP has outperformed the previous National Democratic Congress (NDC) administration.
He highlighted structural reforms and initiatives to strengthen economic foundations as evidence of this progress.
“You can engage in all the propaganda you want, but if the fundamentals are weak, the exchange rate will expose you.”
“Between Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and John Mahama, we see a clear difference. One government has worked diligently to address weak fundamentals with structures and mechanisms aimed at lasting solutions.”
Dennis Aboagye clarified that Dr. Bawumia’s comments on the exchange rate were not directed at Mahama personally, but rather at the underlying structure of the economy.
“Dr. Bawumia has always argued that our economy—historically import-dependent and lacking essential industries—needs a fundamental shift to build resilience and a stronger currency. His statement was aimed at highlighting the need for structural economic reforms,” he added.
