Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson has reflected on his unexpected rise to his current position, attributing his political journey to destiny.

In an interview on The Point of View with Bernard Avle on Channel One TV after presenting the 2025 Budget on Tuesday, March 11, Dr. Forson admitted that he never anticipated becoming Finance Minister under President John Mahama’s administration.

“Certainly not, but we kept pushing. It’s a matter of destiny, and destiny has brought me this far,” he stated.

He also paid tribute to the late former President John Evans Atta Mills, acknowledging his influence in inspiring him and many others to pursue a career in politics.
