Founder and President of IMANI Africa, Franklin Cudjoe, has warned the National Democratic Congress (NDC) against prematurely assuming victory in the 2024 general elections.

He emphasized the importance of the NDC outlining clear and measurable strategies to decrease the country's reliance on borrowing and to prevent the need for another IMF program by 2026.

With Ghanaians gearing up to vote on December 7 to choose a new president and parliamentary representatives, both the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the primary opposition NDC have initiated their campaign efforts.

According to a facebook post, Mr. Cudjoe urged the NDC to enhance the coordination of their job creation promises and to specify how these initiatives would contribute positively to GDP.

He underscored the significance of presenting clear, achievable economic strategies to build trust among voters.

"Meanwhile, the major opposition party, the NDC, should not assume 2024 is a done deal. Some of us are yet to see properly quantified interventions that will reduce our reliance on borrowing ,and crucially how we may avoid another IMF programme in 2026."

"There is a need for the NDC to coordinate and relate the many promises of creating employment and ascertain by an estimated figure the qualitative addition to GDP."

"IMANI plans presenting brief analysis with the public and media based on objective assessments of how the plans of the major political parties shall impact the country regardless of how extreme the partisan debate develops over the next few days and weeks," he posted.
