Joshua Alabi, Campaign Manager for John Mahama's 2024 campaign team, has attributed the National Democratic Congress (NDC) defeat in the 2020 general elections to the combined impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and voter suppression during the registration process.
The NDC suffered a significant loss in the 2020 elections against the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), following an earlier defeat in 2016.
However, the party staged a remarkable comeback in the 2024 general elections, reclaiming the presidency and securing a commanding majority in Parliament.
Speaking during an interview on The Point of View with Bernard Avle, broadcast on Channel One TV, Professor Alabi outlined key challenges that contributed to the NDC's 2020 defeat.
