NPP will win with more than 148 seats if 2024 election is held today - Dr Ayew Afriye

The Member of Parliament for Effiduase-Asokore, Dr. Nana Ayew Afriye, is confident the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) will win the pending elections even if it is held today.

According to him, every study that has been conducted on the elections shows that the NPP is winning the elections and the major opposition party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), is aware of this fact.

“As for the election, if it is held today, we would win… All the research that has been conducted shows that the NPP is winning and the NDC is aware of this," he said in Twi.

The legislator, who is the Chairman of the Health Committee of Parliament, refuted assertions that these studies were orchestrated by the NPP.

He indicated that a study conducted by foreign missions in the country showed that the NPP would win 148 seats in Ghana’s Parliament, which he thinks is even lower.

“It is not true and NDC members know this… the Whites who give us visas have conducted an independent research which found that if we voted in September, the NPP would get 148 seats (+/- 3),” he said.

Dr Ayew Afriye, who is the NPP Campaign Coordinator for the Middle Belt, added, “I’m saying that what the Whites are saying is even small. Are they saying that we are going to add only 11 seats to the 137 seats? That can’t be true. Because in the middle belt alone, we are adding more than 11.”
