Don’t think election 2024 is a done deal – Franklin Cudjoe cautions NDC

President of Policy Think Tank, IMANI Africa, Franklin Cudjoe has cautioned the National Democratic Congress (NDC) not to think the 2024 election is a done deal for them considering the mess created by the current government under the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

According to him, Ghanaians are yet to see “quantified interventions that will reduce our reliance on borrowing and, crucially, how we may avoid another IMF program in 2026”.

He indicated that “there is a need for the NDC to coordinate and relate the many promises of creating employment and acertain by an estimated figure the qualitative addition to GDP”.

Meanwhile, the major opposition party, the NDC, should not assume 2024 is a done deal. Some of us are yet to see properly quantified interventions that will reduce our reliance on borrowing ,and crucially how we may avoid another IMF program in 2026.

There is a need for the NDC to coordinate and relate the many promises of creating employment and acertain by an estimated figure the qualitative addition to GDP.

IMANI plans presenting brief analysis with the public and media based on objective assessments of how the plans of the major political parties shall impact the country regardless of how extreme the partisan debate develops over the next few days and weeks.

As far as IMANI is concerned, there are three major risk factors to our economy – rising public debt, persistent waste and leakages and slowing GDP growth, when combined together, strongly constricts the government’s capacity to sustain investment without unhinging other levers of the economy (‘fiscal leeway’); affects the delivery of projects on time and within budget (spending efficiency); and raises the cost of living, offsetting the gains of infrastructure as real incomes fall and the living conditions of people deteriorate (‘growth burden’).
