In its first three months in office, the NDC government, led by President Mahama, has received mixed reviews. While the economy grew by 5.7% in 2024, growth slowed to 3.6% in late Q4, raising concerns. Critics argue the 2025 budget lacks focus on job creation and cost of living. Promised reforms, like the education stakeholders’ forum, are pending. Challenges include persistent unemployment, cedi depreciation, food inflation, and controversial public sector layoffs. Power outages and worsening illegal mining also mar progress. Though the NDC shows intent for reform, many believe implementation is slow and key issues remain unaddressed, stirring public frustration.
