With the election of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo as President of Ghana in the December 2016 elections, the New Patriotic Party (npp) was back in power for the first time in eight years. The transition from National Democratic Congress (ndc) to npp rule dominated the political scene. From taking control of national and district offices to rolling out the new administration’s social and economic platforms, 2017 was a year of major overhauls. These restructuring efforts decreased Ghana’s debt, generated economic growth and created jobs. The year also saw several controversies surface, including national issues involving the Delta Force vigilante group, the Ministry of Finance, and the Electoral Commission (ec). The extent to which Ghana’s economic growth was felt by everyday Ghanaians was also of concern, particularly given the increases in the price of petrol throughout the year.
