Professor Joshua Alabi, Campaign Manager for the John Mahama Campaign Team, has credited the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for its strategic efforts in reducing voter turnout in the Ashanti Region during the 2024 elections.

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) had aimed to secure 85% of the votes in the region, while the NDC targeted 35%.

Both parties were also keen to increase their parliamentary seats in the Ashanti Region, which has 47 constituencies.

Before the elections, the NDC held four parliamentary seats: Asawase, Ejura-Sekyedumase, New Edubiase, and Sekyere Afram Plains, while the NPP controlled 42 seats.
