Over the past week or more, it has continued gaining weight, day after day, against the dollar and other major currencies.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, Gabby noted that Ghanaians should not judge the NPP and NDC by the cedi-to-dollar exchange rates.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the cedi&#8217;s depreciation should not be a yardstick for determining whether either party should be given the mandate. <\/p>\n<p>He added that this is because the cedi has not performed significantly better under either regime.<\/p>\n<p>In a post shared on his X page on December 3, 2024, he wrote: &#8220;Rightly so, people are comparing these eight years of NPP (with Bawumia as VP) to the eight years of NDC under President Mahama and VP Amissah-Arthur to help decide on December 7 whether to give Bawumia his chance or give Mahama another shot.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>SSD\/MA<\/p>\n<p><b>Watch the latest edition of BizTech below:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"-kQsspgnyF4\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Inside Ghana&#039;s First Electric Buses: Key features and specialties | BizTech\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-kQsspgnyF4?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>Click here to follow the GhanaWeb Business WhatsApp channel<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko A stalwart of the New Patriotic Party, Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, has suggested that the country&#8217;s local currency is warning Ghanaians against voting for change.
