The quality of the Presidential Candidate going into 2024 Presidential Election will have a very significant impact on the parliamentary elections. While the polls conducted in the last quarter of the 2023 presidential election still puts the former president John Dramani Mahama in lead with 53%.
There is likely projection that National Democratic Congress is going to win more seats in the 2024 parliamentary elections.
The Executive Director of Info Analytics Mussa Dankwa said this on Adekyee Mu Nsem morning show on Ahotor 92.3 FM hosted by citizen Kofi Owusu in Accra.
He opined that, is likely that National Democratic Congress can win 13 parliamentary seats from the lost seats of 28 incumbent candidates.
He is of the view that most of the seats lost by the 28-incumbent member of parliament has been attributed to lack of development projects in their constituency.
This comes on the back of 19 NPP members of Parliament who have decided not to return to Parliament, 28 others have lost the just ended primaries.
Out of 28 sitting MPs that lost 10 of them are first timers and 18 are more than one term in the House.
If you analyze the parliamentary and the presidential elections you could see that there was anger in the supporters, pointing to the facts that, most of the constituents has not seen any viable developments in their constituencies for the past eight years President Nana Addo takes the reign of presidency.
Going forward he is of the view that the votes President Akufo-Addo got as presidential candidate were far less than the votes of the parliamentary candidates in the past election.
Which tells you that the supporters registered their displeasure by not voting for the candidate.
