Ghana's Vice President, Mahamudu Bawumia, has been elected as the ruling NPP party's candidate for the 2024 presidential election. Bawumia won 61.4% of the votes, defeating his nearest rival, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong. The country is currently facing its worst economic crisis in years, which will be a significant issue in the upcoming election. Bawumia, a former deputy central bank governor, is the first Muslim candidate to lead the southern-dominated NPP party and aims to bridge regional divisions. He will face opposition candidate and former president, John Dramani Mahama, in the election next year.
