The governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) is poised to unveil its 2024 election manifesto today, Sunday, August 18, at the Ghana Secondary Technical School (GSTS) in Takoradi.

The launch, scheduled to begin at 1:00 pm, follows a successful health walk held yesterday in Sekondi-Takoradi, drawing thousands of party supporters.

The event, spearheaded by an eleven-member planning committee, is chaired by Madam Oboshie Sai-Coffie with Ms. Abena Asante as the secretary.

According to a statement issued by the NPP's General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, on August 5, the committee was tasked with ensuring a successful and impactful launch.

Speaking ahead of the event, Dennis Miracles Aboagye, Director of Communications for the Bawumia campaign, emphasized that job creation and business growth will be at the core of the party’s manifesto.

In an interview with Joy News, Aboagye stated that about 90% of the manifesto will focus on expanding the private sector to generate more employment opportunities.

“The NPP is committed to empowering businesses, which will naturally lead to increased job creation,” Aboagye explained. He further noted that the party had already created 2.1 million jobs during its tenure, far outpacing any previous government. "These jobs are sustainable, providing long-term security for Ghanaians," he said.

As the party looks toward the upcoming election, Aboagye underscored that the choice between former President John Mahama and Dr. Bawumia should be clear for voters, particularly when it comes to the NPP's proven track record in job creation.

He also acknowledged that while progress has been made, there is still more to be done, particularly in equipping young Ghanaians with the skills needed to thrive in emerging industries like the automotive sector.
