The Executive Director of Global Info Analytics, Musah Danquah, has cast doubt on the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) chances in the upcoming Ablekuma North parliamentary rerun, predicting a likely defeat to the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Speaking on Joy FM’s Top Story, Mr Danquah said the NPP’s threats to boycott the July 11 rerun would have minimal effect, as enthusiasm among the party’s base is already low.
According to him, morale and motivation within the NPP in the constituency have significantly declined, making it difficult for the party to mobilise voters effectively.
“Even without the boycott, the party would have struggled with turnout. The signs of voter apathy have been there for some time,” he stated.
Mr Danquah observed that the current political climate in Ablekuma North appeared more favourable to the NDC, adding that available data and ground reports suggest the opposition party is in a stronger position to win the seat.
His comments come just a day after the High Court dismissed an application filed by the NPP parliamentary candidate, Nana Akua Afriyie, which sought to stop the rerun in 19 polling stations.
The Electoral Commission has since confirmed that the rerun will go ahead as scheduled on Friday, July 11.
The fresh poll seeks to resolve the dispute over the December 2024 parliamentary elections in Ablekuma North, which were marred by uncollated results and legal wrangling.
