A former Rector of the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA), Professor Stephen Adei, has stated that the defeat suffered by the (NPP) in the 2024 general elections is largely due to supporters of the party choosing not to vote.
According to him, this view is grounded in the margin of vote appreciation for the eventual winner, , in comparison to the 2020 results. "Let me tell you that the NDC didn't win the elections; that is systematic in the past one also.
In Ghana, always the government loses the election.
Mahama only got about 200,000 votes above what he got in 2020, which means that even with the biological increase of NDC members, he didn't get much, partly not because of his fault but because of people being disillusioned and saying they won't vote.
