It is therefore not surprising that he was the first senior member of the party to comment openly on the IMF program and he minced no words in criticizing his government. With Bawumia being viewed as an architect of this economic meltdown and Alan Kyerematen unable to excuse himself from the mess, Kennedy Agyapong’s chances could be boosted with the return to the IMF. If the dumsor of his era won the NPP the elections in 2016, the IMF return could bring him back in 2024. It therefore comes as no shock that for months, people within the NDC and John Mahama have drummed home the IMF return as the only panacea to the current challenges. Whoever gets the nod to lead the party will have to show why after the persistent fuel hikes, ever-increasing transport fares and IMF return, Ghanaians should trust him and the party again.
