Minority Leader in Parliament, Alexander Kwamina Afenyo Markin, has accused the National Democratic Congress (NDC) of manipulating the 2024 elections.

In the 2024 elections, former President John Mahama of the NDC won the presidential race with 56% of the vote, defeating Vice-President Mahamudu Bawumia of the NPP, who received 41%. This outcome marked Mahama’s return to power after his 2016 defeat, making him the first Ghanaian to serve non-consecutive terms. — The Guardian

The NPP’s significant loss has been attributed to factors such as economic challenges, including high inflation and a struggling currency, as well as dissatisfaction with the government’s performance. Additionally, the NDC’s improved electoral strategies, including mobilizing supporters to monitor the voting process, contributed to their success. — The Guardian

Afenyo-Markin’s comments highlight the NPP’s resolve to address internal shortcomings and strengthen their position in future elections, aiming to prevent similar outcomes.
