In a significant declaration on his campaign trail, Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has pledged to reduce the cost of electricity if elected as the next President of Ghana.
This announcement comes amid widespread concerns over high utility prices under the current administration.
Speaking to a gathering of enthusiastic supporters, Dr. Bawumia acknowledged the financial burden that high electricity costs have placed on Ghanaians.
"I recognize that the cost of electricity under the Akufo-Addo administration has been high," he admitted.
"But I am committed to implementing policies that will bring relief to our people by reducing these costs."
Dr. Bawumia outlined a comprehensive plan aimed at overhauling the energy sector to achieve this goal.
His strategy includes increasing investment in renewable energy sources, improving energy efficiency, and renegotiating power purchase agreements to ensure more favorable terms for the country.
He also emphasized the importance of enhancing the management of the electricity supply chain to minimize losses and improve service delivery.
"We will work tirelessly to ensure that every Ghanaian has access to affordable and reliable electricity," he said.
"This is not just about lowering costs; it's about boosting economic growth and improving the quality of life for all."
The Vice President's remarks have sparked a wave of discussions among political analysts and the general public.
Many view this promise as a critical aspect of his campaign, potentially swaying voters who are grappling with high living costs.
Dr. Bawumia's campaign tour continues to draw large crowds, reflecting a growing interest in his vision for Ghana's future.
As the election season heats up, his commitment to reducing electricity costs is likely to remain a key issue in the political discourse.
For now, Ghanaians will be watching closely to see how this promise unfolds and whether it can translate into tangible benefits for households and businesses alike.
