A recent poll conducted by The Independent Ghana (TIGPost) shows that a significant majority of Ghanaians are ready to participate in the 2024 general elections.
The poll, conducted over three days from September 1 to September 3, 2024, aimed to assess the level of voter interest in the upcoming elections, which are expected to be pivotal for the nation.
Of the 961 submissions, 795 respondents (82.7%) confirmed their intention to vote, while 166 respondents (17.3%) indicated they would not be voting. This strong inclination toward participation highlights a high level of civic responsibility and political involvement among the electorate as the country heads into a crucial election year.
Key issues such as the economy, governance, and social justice are likely to shape the campaigns, and the high level of voter engagement suggests that Ghanaians are eager to influence the nation’s direction. Political parties and candidates will need to connect with this motivated voter base as election day approaches.
Additionally, TIGPost posed the question to 26 individuals about their voting intentions. Seventeen respondents expressed plans to vote, while 9 indicated they would abstain.
The reasons for their lack of interest included being unconvinced by any political parties, uncertainty over who to vote for, and general apathy toward the election.
