Independent Power Generators, Ghana, the umbrella body of all private power producers in the Republic of Ghana, has congratulated the President-elect, Mr John Dramani Mahama, on his re-election as the 6th President of Ghana under the 4th Republic.

Mr Mahama, who was the flag-bearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) for the December 7th polls, was declared President-elect by the Electoral Commission after securing 6,328,397, representing 56.55 per cent, while the flag-bearer of the ruling New Patriotic Party, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, secured 4,657,304, representing 41.61 per cent.

In a statement issued by Dr Elikplim Kwabla Apetorgbor, the Chief Executive Officer
Independent Power Generators, Ghana, said: “This victory is not just a testament to the confidence the Ghanaian people have in your leadership but also a source of hope for restoring proper governance across critical sectors of our economy, particularly the energy sector.”

Ghana’s energy sector has grappled with numerous challenges, including financial sustainability, liquidity crises and gaps in leadership and policy direction.

According to the group, Mr Mahama’s re-election represents a renewed opportunity to confront these challenges with purpose and resolve.

“As Independent Power Generators, we are especially hopeful that your leadership will bring about the restoration of stability, transparency and innovation that the sector has long missed.

The IPGG pledged its readiness to cooperate with the incoming government in finding lasting solutions to the challenges confronting the energy sector.

The group said they believe that through meaningful engagement, strategic planning and decisive action, the country can create a resilient and efficient energy sector capable of powering Ghana’s developmental aspirations.

The group said Mr Mahama’s track record of prioritising energy infrastructure and reforms gives them great confidence that the coming years will witness a revitalised energy sector that is both financially sound and capable of meeting the growing demands of the country.

“We are committed to working with your team to ensure that the energy sector not only thrives but also becomes a foundation for national economic growth,” they concluded.
