American-Ghanaian comedian Michael Blackson has urged Ghanaian politicians to prioritise economic issues in their campaign rallies, drawing lessons from the recent U.S. presidential election.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter) on November 7, 2024, Blackson referenced former President Donald Trump’s recent election victory, emphasizing that economic concerns are pivotal in elections worldwide.
He encouraged Ghanaian leaders to focus on sharing their economic strategies with the public during campaign rallies.
“Ghana, take a lesson from the USA campaign rallies; the economy is the most important thing in any country. Tell the people what you are going to do to make the economy better,” Blackson wrote.
Blackson’s statement comes amid heightened public concern over economic issues in Ghana.
With the country heading to the polls on December 7, 2024, political campaigns have ramped up, and candidates are employing various tactics to attract voters.
