Ghana's Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia, the ruling New Patriotic Party's (NPP) presidential candidate for December's election, speaks at the launch of his presidential campaign in Accra on February 7, 2024. Ghana's presidential election is set to be a tight race between Bawumia, the NPP's first Muslim candidate, and former president John Mahama of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC). Incumbent president Nana Akufo-Addo steps down after two terms with the country's economy emerging from one of its worst crises in decades and Ghana managing a $3 billion loan from the IMF.
