The Forum for Development and Accountable Governance (FDAG) has attributed the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) crushing defeat in the 2024 general elections to a blend of economic mismanagement, corruption, and governance failures.
In its post-election analysis report titled "Comparative Analysis of Past Presidential and Parliamentary Elections in Ghana" , FDAG emphasized. "The NPP's inability to address rising inflation, unemployment, and a depreciating cedi left many Ghanaians disillusioned with their economic policies.
Coupled with systemic corruption and governance lapses, the electorate decisively rejected the ruling party at the polls." The report revealed that these factors contributed to the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) securing a commanding 56.55% of the presidential vote, compared to the NPP's 41.6%(with the exception of 9 constituencies).
This marks a significant shift from the 2020 elections, where the NPP secured 51.3% of the vote, and the NDC trailed with 47.9%.
