As Ghana approaches the 2024 general elections, the Mpohor Constituency in the Western Region has emerged as a critical battleground, with the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) longstanding dominance facing unprecedented challenges.
For 16 years, Mpohor has been a safe seat for the NPP, securing increasing parliamentary election victories-40.4% in 2012, 48.7% in 2016, and 54.18% in 2020 under the leadership of John Kobina Abbam Sanie.
This year, however, their grip appears uncertain as the National Democratic Congress (NDC) fields 35-year-old Kofi Bentil, a former Assemblyman, as its parliamentary candidate.
Bentil's youthful appeal and campaign are resonating with disenchanted residents, particularly the youth.
