The streets of Kumasi, traditionally considered a stronghold of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), witnessed a massive turnout of people, predominantly NDC supporters, during the former President, John Dramani Mahama’s ‘24-hour Economy Sensitisation Walk.
The event, held on Wednesday, January 24, 2024, aimed to promote the NDC’s primary policy proposal for the 2024 elections: the establishment of a 24-hour economy in Ghana.
Noteworthy personalities, not typically associated with active party politics, were also spotted at the event, including the retired Commissioner of Police, Kofi Boakye.
Among the incidents that took centre was the carrying of a bust sculptured in Mahama’s frame. This bust was carried by one Appiah Stadium, who died so while bare-chested.
In his delivery, former President John Dramani Mahama outlined the 24-hour economy proposal, emphasizing that the next NDC government intends to implement measures to encourage businesses in Ghana to operate around the clock.
The policy initiative involves providing incentives for businesses to function day and night, potentially in three shifts, ultimately generating more employment opportunities for the youth.
