Claim: At the final rally of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) on Dec. 5, 2024, the flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, said: “If you ranked the countries by food security, Ghana is number three in Africa in all the 54 countries.”
Verdict: False!
Verification: The Global Food Security Index, which evaluates 113 countries based on the affordability, availability, quality, and safety of food, ranked Ghana 7th in Africa in its last report in 2022. Meanwhile, the country ranks 83rd globally with an overall score of 52.6.
Therefore, the claim is false.
