Ghana's presidential candidates focus on economic recovery as election approaches

Ghana's presidential election is approaching, with candidates Mahamudu Bawumia and John Mahama focusing on economic recovery. Bawumia promises a "digital economy" to create jobs, while Mahama aims for a "24-hour economy" to boost employment. The economy has been a major concern for voters, as Ghana faces high unemployment and inflation. Many young people, like Nathaniel Qainoo, are disillusioned and considering emigration due to the economic crisis. Recent polls suggest a close race, with Mahama leading at 52% compared to Bawumia's 41.3%. Both candidates have pledged to reduce taxes, but experts question how they will balance these promises with the requirements of an IMF recovery program.
