A poll by Global InfoAnalytics has shown that more Ghanaians are buying into the 24-hour economy policy proposal of former President John Dramani Mahama compared to the digitalisation proposal by his major contender in the 2024 election, Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
According to the poll, the majority of Ghanaians in 14 out of the 16 regions in the country prefer the 24-hour economy policy proposal of Mahama, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), to the main policy theme of the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Bawumia; digitalisation.
The study also showed that the 24-hour economy policy is more popular in the Northern, Upper West, and the Volta Regions.

The data shows the top three (3) regions with the highest support for the 24-hour Economy are the Northern region, 75%, Upper West, 65% and Volta, 63%,” part of a brief on the survey shared by Global InfoAnalytics on X on February 18, 2024, read.
