Speaking to Citi News on Thursday, the immediate past governor of the Bank of Ghana (BoG) said the elections will “be a contest of ideas” and he finds himself, as an economist, in a better position to “explain the policy choices that are available to Ghanaians, so they can make an informed choice.”Mr. Amissah-Arthur rubbished claims that the ruling National democratic Congress (NDC) is going to lose the elections because “he is not a political persona.” saying that he has been in politics for a long time and even contributed to the writing of the NDC manifesto in 1992 and also in the campaign of NDC in 1992 and 1996.
He called on his critics to separate technocracy from politics.
He said: “Parliament can ask all the questions and I’ll provide all the answers. I’ll tell them what my life has been and my experiences. From a modest background I have been able to succeed and that is the lesson I want the Ghanaian youth to learn.”
