Provisional results from the general elections in 2024 indicate that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has achieved a majority in Parliament in a momentous change of events.
A major turning point in the country’s democratic history, the NDC’s legislative triumph comes as the nation awaits the formal announcement of the presidential results.
A remarkable 180 seats out of 276 were won by the NDC as a result of their outstanding performance, with the Northern, Upper East, and Volta regions serving as significant strongholds.
The NDC swept all 11 seats in the Upper East Region and 11 out of 18 seats in the Northern Region.
The NDC won all 18 seats, maintaining its status as a traditional stronghold in the Volta Region.
The Oti Region, where the NDC won *9 out of 9 seats, and the Central Region, where they won 18 out of 23 seats, are two more places where they excelled.
The NDC also achieved a noteworthy victory in the nation’s capital, winning 30 of 34 seats in the Greater Accra Region.
The NDC’s legislative triumph is a major boost to their chances of becoming the next government as the country anxiously awaits the presidential results.
The NDC’s successes in areas that have historically been regarded as New Patriotic Party (NPP) strongholds are also highlighted by the provisional results.
For example, the NDC gained seven of the forty-seven seats in the Ashanti Region, which is a significant improvement over the previous elections.
The NDC’s parliamentary majority is a definite sign of the party’s comeback in Ghanaian politics as the Electoral Commission begins to count the final results.
Supporters of the NDC are anxiously awaiting the results of the presidential election, which is still pending, in the hopes that their party would win and establish the next administration.
