The flagbearer for the New Patriot­ic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has promised to reduce electricity charges by 50 per cent when he wins the upcoming presi­dential elections. He said his government would massively invest in solar energy to provide cheaper electricity to Gha­naians when the governing NPP is voted to break the 8. Speaking at a rally at the Dan­soman Tony Park at the Ableku­ma West Constituency in Accra on Monday, after touring some projects in the municipality, he said such an initiative would reduce the burdens on companies, manufac­turers, and households. Additionally, the flagbearer, who is also the Vice President, said his government would fully operation­alise electric vehicles to help reduce transport fares by 40 per cent as fuel prices on the international market keep on escalating. He said the next NPP govern­ment would introduce initiatives and policies that would make living conditions flexible for Ghanaians to enable them to enjoy life.
