Ghanaian voters are becoming more discerning – Lydia Forson

Ghanaian actress Lydia Forson told the BBC that Ghanaian voters are moving away from political or tribal loyalties, as shown by the NPP's defeat in the December 7 election.

She highlighted a growing demand for accountability, especially among youth frustrated by economic challenges.

Forson urged the incoming government to adopt "listening leadership" and address citizens' grievances.

As an entrepreneur, she noted how the cedi's depreciation affects her business and ability to create jobs.

Fellow guest, rapper M.anifest, attributed the NPP's loss to widespread anger and economic hardship.

NPP’s flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, conceded to the NDC’s John Dramani Mahama, while the Electoral Commission prepares to announce the official results.
