I still believe Bawumia has the best ideas for turning the country around – Akomea

Nana Akomea, the Managing Director of the State Transport Company (STC), has expressed his deep disappointment and sadness over the defeat of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia in the 2024 presidential election. According to Akomea, his disappointment stems from the fact that Bawumia did not get the chance to implement his policies for Ghana, which Akomea believes would have transformed the country for the better.

Akomea's sentiments are likely rooted in Bawumia's extensive experience in economics and governance. As the former Vice President of Ghana, Bawumia has a deep understanding of the country's challenges and opportunities. Akomea believes that Bawumia's expertise and vision would have been invaluable in addressing Ghana's economic and social challenges.

The 2024 presidential election saw Dr. Bawumia garnering approximately 41.86% of the votes, while President-elect Mahama won with 56.49%. Despite the loss, Akomea remains convinced that Bawumia has the best ideas for turning Ghana around. Akomea's confidence in Bawumia's abilities is shared by many Ghanaians who believe that Bawumia's economic policies would have benefited the country.

Akomea also pointed out that the NPP's defeat was largely due to voter apathy. According to Akomea, about 2 million NPP supporters who voted in 2020 did not cast their ballots in 2024. This significant drop in voter turnout, Akomea believes, was a major factor in the NPP's loss. The Electoral Commission's certified presidential results show that over 2 million voters who supported the NPP in 2020 chose not to vote in 2024.

The implications of this voter apathy are far-reaching. Akomea believes that the NPP's defeat is not just a loss for the party, but also for the country. He argues that Bawumia's policies would have addressed the economic challenges facing Ghana, including high inflation, unemployment, and poverty.

Despite the setback, Akomea remains optimistic about Ghana's future. He believes that with the right leadership and policies, the country can overcome its challenges and achieve prosperity. Akomea is confident that the NPP will regroup and reorganize, and that the party will emerge stronger and more united than ever before.

In conclusion, Nana Akomea's comments on the 2024 presidential election highlight the disappointment and sadness felt by many Ghanaians who supported Dr. Bawumia's candidacy. Despite the loss, Akomea remains confident in Bawumia's abilities and believes that his policies would have benefited Ghana. The NPP's defeat is a setback, but Akomea is optimistic that the party will regroup and reorganize, and that Ghana will emerge stronger and more prosperous in the future.
