Fitch Solutions, an international research and data organization, has projected that John Mahama and the NDC will triumph in the December 2024 federal elections.
According to the London-based company, which has stuck to its prediction since last year, 54% of survey participants said the former president would win the next presidential election.
Voters’ choices on December 7 will be greatly influenced by the status of the economy, according to Fitch Solutions’ mid-year analysis for Sub-Saharan Africa.
“We believe that the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has a stronger chance of winning the upcoming general elections compared to the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP),” stated Mike Kruiniger, an Associate Director of Country Risk at Fitch Solutions.
“Recent polls consistently place the NDC ahead with the most recent survey showing 54% of respondents favouring the NDC,” he said.
“In addition, multiple surveys have shown that economic management and job creation are going to be the most important issues during the election for voters which we believe will put the ruling NPP at a disadvantage given the economic challenges that the country has faced over the last couple of years.”
He went on to explain that concerns like economic management and job creation, among others, will have a big impact on people’ judgments on who to support.
He claims that this will disadvantage the NPP considering the current state of the economy.
