"Let Ghanaians know that there is a shortfall here but when I am elected, I will work on it. When you do things like that, they will believe you."

Bawumia has been atop a government that has overseen the worst economic crisis in decades.

Ghana returned to the IMF for a bailout for the 17th time due to its economic crisis.

Bawumia has already tried to distance himself from some of the Akufo-Addo administration's policies.

The NPP flagbearer has promised to abolish the e-levy and other taxes burdening Ghanaians.

Vice President Bawumia started a three-day campaign tour of the Ashanti Region on Monday, June 10, 2024.
