The performance of the economy, several studies have shown, is an important factor voters consider in deciding who to vote for in national elections in any country in the world, including Ghana. As the 2024 general election approaches, politicians in Ghana will have their A-game on; making all forms of claims on their achievements, especially on who the better manager of Ghana's economy is.
