As Ghana’s December 7 general elections approach, Dennis Miracles Aboagye, spokesperson for the Bawumia campaign, has expressed confidence that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) will secure a victory despite Fitch Solutions’ forecast favoring the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Aboagye acknowledged the current economic difficulties but highlighted the NPP’s commitment to economic improvement, noting that inflation has decreased from approximately 54% to 23%.
He emphasized that the party is intensifying its campaign efforts, particularly in the northern regions, to persuade voters and demonstrate their dedication to bettering the economic situation.
“As we speak, we are campaigning in the five northern regions.
“Until we get to the polls and ballot in December, we believe that we have a responsibility to ensure that the Ghanaian voter has a reason to vote for us.
“That is what we are doing,” he said.
Fitch Solutions’ prediction suggests that 54% of respondents support the NDC candidate, John Mahama. Fitch analyst Mike Kruiniger pointed out that economic conditions are likely to play a crucial role in the election outcome.
In response to the forecast, NDC Communications Officer Sammy Gyamfi welcomed the prediction but cautioned against complacency.
He reiterated the party’s determination to work diligently to achieve a decisive victory and address what he described as issues under the current Akufo-Addo-Bawumia administration.
Gyamfi emphasized the need for the NDC to stay focused and committed to their campaign strategy.
