Vice President and New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has pledged to implement a "One District, One Modern Market" initiative if elected in the upcoming December 7 elections.

The initiative aims to build modern marketplaces in all 275 districts across the country, providing much-needed infrastructure for traders, particularly women, who play a vital role in Ghana's economy.

Speaking about the plan, Dr. Bawumia emphasized his commitment to empowering market women through this initiative. "I want to help traders. If you want to help traders, there must be markets. I have two main policies. Any district that does not have a modern market, there has to be a modern market."

He further highlighted the government's track record in addressing infrastructural deficits, citing the Agenda 111 project and road improvements through the District Roads Improvement Program (DRIP). "You see the mindset we have since we came into power. Every district without a hospital, we have solved that with Agenda 111. Every district without road equipment, we have solved it with DRIP," he added.
