An insider in the Office of the Vice President said that the primaries will be between Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and Kennedy Agyapong. In response, Edem Agbana said that based on how things are going, the Agriculture Minister might win the race since he is in the lead. He said that Dr. Afriyie Akoto is in charge because most of the delegates are people who have benefited from the Planting for Food and Jobs program.
“Don’t lie to yourself. It’s clear that Akoto Afriyie is in the lead. The Planting for Food and Jobs program will help 68 percent of the delegates. Show up “as a comment, he wrote.
Many people thought that Edem Agbana was being sarcastic or ironic when he said this. But let’s think about how likely the NPP is to win in 2024 with the Agriculture Minister as its leader. Most pollsters don’t include Afriyie Akoto and others in their surveys because they don’t get much support. However, there might be more to his campaign than meets the eye.
Dr. Bawumia and Alan Kyeremanten haven’t shown much or any interest in the Agricultural sector of the economy so far. And if you look at the numbers, the agriculture sector is one of the main drivers of Ghana’s economy, and it has helped bring down the unemployment rate in Ghana. And to be honest, Owusu Afriyie Akoto has done a good job of fixing up the economy. This is clear from the fact that the growth rate in that sector has been going up since he became Minister. So, we need someone like him to improve the economy, since the Trade Minister and the Economic Messiah have shown that they have nothing to offer.
