Ghana: Election scenarios 2024

This Research Briefing presents two scenarios for Ghana’s December 7 general election, based on our assessment of the election manifestos of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC). We compare the macroeconomic forecasts associated with each scenario to explain the probable interplay between politics, policy, and macroeconomics in Ghana following the election.

What you will learn:

  • You will explore two distinct macroeconomic scenarios and their differences, analysed using our proprietary modelling software, which compares economic outcomes under the two major political parties.
  • Discover how the NDC and NPP intend to address Ghana’s pressing challenges, along with the key electoral issues that matter most to voters.
  • Gain insight into the critical connection between economics and politics and explore what lies ahead for Ghana’s future.
