The flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has promised to build Ghana beyond cocoa and gold, as part of his measures to boost the economy if he becomes president.

To that end, Dr Bawumia has appealed to Ghanaians to vote for him in the December 7, 2024 general elections.

Commenting on this promise, the Director of Communications of the NPP, Richard Ahiagbah, stated that this is a vision to build on the One District, One Factory (1D1F) industrialisation policy to diversify and enhance the productive capacity of Ghana's economy.

He also said it will create jobs for the youth and provide a stable Ghana cedi through increased export earnings.

In a post on his X page, Richard Ahiagbah said, "Bawumia proposes Ghana beyond cocoa and gold. It is a vision to build on the unfolding 1D1F industrialization policy to diversify and enhance the productive capacity of Ghana's economy.

"It will deliver jobs for the youth and a stable cedi through increased export earnings. What is the NDC's alternative? Please don't tell me it's anything with '24' in it because that one is a vote-seeking gimmick. Forward with Bawumia!"
