Veteran journalist and political commentator Abdul Malik Kweku Baako has expressed confidence in a decisive victory for the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the upcoming December 7, 2024, elections.
In a Facebook post reported by Pokuase Mall, the Editor-in-Chief of The New Crusading GUIDE newspaper shared his unique perspective on the political landscape.
“When I looked into my crystal ball two weeks ago, it seemed like a runoff in the presidential race, with the Elephant securing a majority of seats in Parliament,” Baako remarked, referring to the NPP’s electoral symbol.
He continued, “But this morning’s picture suggests the possibility of a first-round triumph for the Elephant in the presidential election. These are just observations from my crystal ball. To clarify, I am neither a prophet nor a pollster.”
The political atmosphere intensifies as Ghanaians prepare to head to the polls, with analysts and organizations offering predictions.
Many, including Baako, foresee a strong showing by Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the NPP’s flagbearer, and his party.
The election will determine the next President and the composition of the nation’s 276-member Parliament, shaping Ghana’s political and socio-economic trajectory for years to come.
