A new post-election survey conducted by the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA), in collaboration with the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung (KAS), has revealed that the high cost of living, rampant corruption, and the controversial Electronic Transfer Levy (E-Levy) were major reasons behind the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) defeat in the 2024 general elections.

The findings were unveiled during the launch of a report titled "Stocktaking Ghana's Democracy: Voter Behaviour and Political Participation", held in Accra on June 3, 2025.

The report was presented by Dr Joseph A.

Darmoe, Director of Programmes at KAS and Senior Lecturer at GIMPA.
