A former (NPP) Member of Parliament for Oforikrom Constituency, Dr , has suggested that his party may have suffered a much larger margin of defeat in the 2024 general election if not for the significant voter apathy.

According to the former MP, who is also a researcher, an investigation into voter apathy in the 2024 Election showed that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) would have acquired about 50% of votes from apathy voters, compared to a projected 40% for the NPP. "The over 6 million people who didn't vote were the ones we studied to generate findings through scientific data.

The finding is that, of those who didn't vote - apathy voters - about 70% had voted before.

Of that number, a majority, 53%, historically voted for the NPP, against about 36% for the NDC," he told Kumasi-based Nhyira FM in an interview.
