Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has announced plans to construct six new 5,000-seater stadiums in Ghana's newly created regions if he is elected in the upcoming 2024 general election. This initiative, according to him, is part of his broader vision to boost sports and tourism in the country. Presenting the NPP's 2024 manifesto, Dr Bawumia emphasised the importance of investing in sports infrastructure and supporting local sports teams. As a result, he promised also to give every premier league club in Ghana a bus to aid their movement. "[We will] provide a bus each to Premier League Clubs. Build six (6) 5,000-seater capacity, standard stadiums for the new regions, and promote school sports by establishing a Ghana School Sports Secretariat to create more opportunities for young people in sports, and collaborate with international sports bodies like the NBA and NFL to make Ghana a hub for emerging sports in Africa," he stated.
