This week campaigning in Ghana comes to an end as candidates make their final arguments in an election where every vote counts.

For most people, Ghana鈥檚 economic turmoil has been at the top of concerns.

In 2022 the Central Bank lost $5 billion in one year. The government asked the International Monetary Fund for a bailout and there have been accusations that the economy has been mismanaged

High inflation has left many unable to afford basic goods, levels of unemployment are rising and hundreds of thousands of people have been pushed into poverty.

So the next government will have the daunting task of easing hardship for millions and getting the economy back on its feet.

In today鈥檚 Africa Daily, Alan Kasujja will be looking at what鈥檚 gone wrong and how the two main presidential candidates- Mahamudu Bawumia and John Mahama- plan to fix it.

There will be a lot more on Ghana鈥檚 elections from our sister programme Newsday. James Copnall will be broadcasting live from the capital Accra on Friday morning- the day before polls open.
