Dancehall artiste Ras Kuuku's vote in the 2024 general elections may tilt towards John Mahama and the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
In a recent interview, the Ghanaian musician suggested he was more interested in seeing Mahama implement his 24-hour economy policy.

While Bawumia is campaigning on the back of a digitalisation agenda, Mahama has proposed to turn Ghana into a 24-hour economy country to create more jobs.
Mahama's policy proposal has received support from prominent people, such as Togbe Afede XIV, the paramount chief of Asogli.
In a recent encounter with the media, Togbe Afede expressed his belief that the 24-hour economy policy could help turn Ghana's economic fortunes around by reducing the cost of production and promoting competition.

Just like Togbe Afede, Ras Kuuku is rooting for Mahama's ideas to be implemented.
During a studio discussion on Onua TV, he shared his thoughts on the upcoming elections and explained that while digitalisation is already underway in Ghana, the 24-hour economy idea remains unexplored.
"For digitalisation, we have already been experiencing it. Ghana is gradually being digitised. But we haven't seen the 24-hour economy before," Ras Kuuku stated during the interview.
The Wo hitmaker further emphasised his curiosity about the potential implementation of a round-the-clock economic system.
"It is something I want to see, so I would like for [Mahama] to come and implement it so I can witness it," he added.
Ras Kuuku's brand won't be affected
Despite what could be described as a subtle endorsement of John Mahama's flagship policy, music journalist Gabriel Myers Hansen believes Ras Kuuku will not suffer any consequences for his thoughts.
According to Myers Hansen, Ras Kuuku's fanbase consists of people who identify as commoners, and most are already unhappy.
"I don't think Kuuku will lose fans because of his statement. Looking at it, he put his thoughts across in a cogent way. Moreover, his core supporters who identify themselves as the street people will feel he has spoken for them," he said.
