Chairman of the National Council of Elders of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Hackman Owusu-Agyeman, has strongly affirmed the party’s ability to address Ghana’s ongoing economic challenges.

The former Foreign Minister encouraged citizens to “examine their lives and vote wisely.”

During an appearance on Joy News’ PM Express on Monday, November 26, Mr. Owusu-Agyeman acknowledged the hardships Ghanaians are enduring but conveyed optimism in Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia's leadership and the party's vision for national progress.

“Graduating, so to speak, from Covid-19, where we are, there are a whole lot of problems,” he said, acknowledging the economic challenges that have particularly affected urban areas.

“There are problems which they must tackle. But on the other hand, the totality of what has been done nationwide is way beyond that time when we thought we had a slogan. People must also recognize that in any human institution, there will be difficulties. It’s not always smooth sailing.”

He emphasized the need to focus on the NPP's broader contributions to national development, despite the current challenges.
