A significant revelation ahead of the much-anticipated December 7, 2024 elections, Global Info Analytics, a prominent Accra-based research organization, has forecasted a commanding victory for the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
According to their latest analysis, monitored from Pure FM a local radio station based in Kumasi on its morning news bulletin Saturday November 30th 2024, the NDC’s flagbearer, former President John Dramani Mahama, is poised to secure 52.2% of the vote, considerably outpacing his main rival, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), who is projected to garner 42.2%.
The prediction, announced by Global Info Analytics’ Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Mussa K. Dankwak, comes after extensive consultations with Ghanaians from all 16 regions of the country. Through these engagements, the organization identified a prevailing sentiment among citizens clamoring for change, driven by economic hardships that have led to increased hunger and poverty levels across the nation.
“Our research indicates a clear desire for a shift in leadership,” Mr. Dankwah stated. “The economic frustrations faced by the populace are influencing their perceptions and preferences. They are looking for solutions, and the NDC under Mahama is being seen as the party capable of delivering this change.”
In addition to the presidential outlook, the research also analyzed the dynamics of parliamentary representation. The NDC is projected to win approximately 150 parliamentary seats, while the NPP is expected to secure around 95. The results have sparked discussions on how the upcoming elections could shift the political landscape in Ghana.
Other presidential candidates in the running, including Chidda and Allan Kyeremanteng of the Movement for Change, are predicted to receive 2.5% and 1.5% of the vote, respectively. An interesting note from the study is the potential emergence of an independent parliamentary candidate, which adds an unpredictable element to the election’s outcomes.
“Our job has been comprehensive, and our findings will now await the crucial phase of voting and the subsequent declaration of results,” Mr. Danquah concluded, emphasizing that these predictions are grounded in thorough research and feedback from the Ghanaian electorate.
As the election date draws closer, all eyes will be on the NDC and its flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, to see if they can translate this optimistic forecast into actual electoral success.
With the country’s economic challenges on the minds of voters, the upcoming elections are poised to be a decisive moment in Ghana’s political journey.
