The Ashanti Regional Director of the National Service Secretariat and Deputy Youth Organiser for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Emmanuel Reagan Fynn, has expressed strong optimism for Ghana's economic future, predicting the US dollar could dramatically drop to GH₵5.00 by 2026 under a John Dramani Mahama-led administration.

Fynn made these remarks during the NDC Island City Branch end-of-year party at the Island City in Ahenema Kokoben, within the Atwima Kwanwoma constituency of the Ashanti Region.

"Looking at the excellent work the John Dramani Mahama-led administration is doing, I wouldn't be surprised to see the dollar drop to GH₵5.00 by 2026," Fynn asserted to enthusiastic party members.

He further highlighted what he described as positive economic developments under the current administration, attributing improvements to the NDC's policy influence. "Last year, the dollar was trading at 17 cedis, but due to our effective policies, it has now decreased to just over 11 cedis. This improvement has led to lower prices for essential goods such as rice and oil this holiday season compared to last year," he stated.

Earlier in his address, Fynn expressed gratitude for the collective efforts that have contributed to the party's electoral success, stating, "Our dedication has yielded results as we have transitioned from opposition to governance. This achievement is a significant milestone in Ghana's political landscape, and every member deserves recognition for their hard work."

He reaffirmed the NDC's commitment to sustainable development over short-term financial assistance, promising substantial job-creation initiatives in the coming year. Fynn also contrasted the current government's approach with that of previous administrations, which he claimed prioritised personal interests over the needs of dedicated party members.



The year-end celebration attracted a large audience of enthusiastic supporters, including notable figures like Baah Acheamfour, the Deputy Ashanti Regional Secretary of the NDC. Attendees enjoyed lively music, a variety of culinary offerings, and a strong sense of community throughout the event.

As a token of appreciation, the organisers recognised outstanding contributions from various branches, presenting gifts to individuals who have made significant sacrifices for the party over the years.
