Ghana’s ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) has elected the current vice president, Mahamadu Bawumia, as its candidate for the 2024 race. A technocrat and trained economist, Bawumia will face John Dramani Mahama, a populist who was president from 2012 to 2017. Maintaining stability and bolstering the economic recovery will be at the forefront of voters’ minds. It is easy to see why these issues are so critical to voters simply by looking at what is going on in the region around Ghana. Under President Nana Akufo-Addo, Ghana has been a stable and consistent buttress against the instability and chaos that…

One of the fine names that keep coming up in political circles when talks shift to the choice of a running mate for Vice President Mahamadu Bawumia’s 2024 candidature is the 45-year old Member of Parliament for Ejisu in the Ashanti Region, Dr. John Ampontua Kumah; a Lawyer and Entrepreneur who currently serves as a Deputy Minister of Finance.

Some…

A week before our knocking rites, I was involved in an accident. It was a journey she told me not to embark on. She called a day before the journey to plead with me not to go. I asked why. I wanted a concrete reason but each time I asked why, she told me, “I don’t know. I think it’s too far a journey for you to embark on just because of your friend’s sister’s funeral.” He wasn’t just a friend. Yes, I didn’t have any special relationship with the deceased sister but the relationship between me and Eric was…

There are stories about finding “the one”, and everything falls into place. I heard those stories but I never believed them. I asked myself, “How can one person have only one person who would complete them in their entire lifetime? So if by chance, you miss the opportunity to find that person you won’t fall in love with anybody else? Or you won’t find someone else to love you ever?” These questions filled my head with doubts about finding the existence of my one true love. I held my heart open, ready to love and accept love from whoever was…

My mother ran home one evening, shouting on top of her voice, “Pack your things and let’s go. Just pick anything. Any little thing you can lay your hands on. Pack them and let’s go. We don’t have much time.” I didn’t ask any questions. I just rushed to my room and started packing. She stood in front of my door looking at me and directing me on what to pick and what not to pick. “Put the shoe down. It will slow us down. Hurry up.” It was my favourite shoe. No matter, what it had to come with…

When I told him we should buy a bed after we got married, he refused. So our mattress was on the floor the first few months of our marriage. We didn’t have any furniture in our apartment. That was how he wanted it to be. When I complained, he said he didn’t see the point in spending money unnecessarily. I am the only girl among my siblings so my parents always encouraged me to be financially independent. At the university, they used to give me more money than they gave my brothers. They said I was a girl so I…

All too soon the country’s political landscape is turning yet another curve towards the election of the next President of the Republic of Ghana, and it is just appropriate that we take a very critical look at who is most fit to be considered as the political saviour to take the country out of the doldrums. Glaringly, all indications point to the fact that the looming ‘bullfighting’ in the 2024 general election is going to be between the Movement for Change’s Hon. Alan Kyerematen, the National Democratic Congress’ John Mahama and the New Patriotic Party’s Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia. So the…
