    Idiots calling themselves researchers. Ghanaians voted to kick the NPP out but also voted for the NDC because they felt it was a better alternative. We all read from polls before the elections about the intentions of Ghanaian ...

    John Mahama had 6.3 Million votes in 2020 and he lost the election.In 2024 he got the same 6.3 Million and he won.This means he did not do anything significant to win this year's election. His election is due to a Protest Vot ...

    What this must rather tell you is that, NPP has never won any genuine election in Ghana especially from Ashanti and Eastern regions. They always rig and bloat poling station results. This years election is a true election out ...

    @Nzema, you nailed it with precision, poise, power, pace and perfection. This is exactly the case. I need not add more. BRAVO!

  • Vornyovie 1 year ago

    Obviously Mahama was voted out when he was a sitting president and he has indeed not done anything differently but the foolhardy attitude of Akuffo Addo affected the NPP and not Bawumia as a person

    I guess the NDC members were sleeping when the NPP were rigging the elections. In 2012, the NDC got 579,298 in Volta region but in 2016, they got 493,141. Per your views, it means the NDC had been rigging in the Volta region

  • Boggy 1 year ago

    There was Voter apathy in 2016 and when this happens, the ruling Govt(NDC) is greatly affected.
    People must read and learn and stop showing their ignorance. The Researcher is right.

    There is evidence that that elections were seriously rigged. It can also be argued if the 6.3 won the current elections, then it also won last time with similar figure but because of frauds, that figure became insignificant. ...

    This is a fact. Same votes in 2024 and 2020 should provoke those insulting the Lady to think. Anytime there is voter apathy, the ruling party loses a lot. Check NDC even in the Volta Region in 2016.

    What is your proof that it was the same people who voted in 2020, who voted in 2024?
    What was voter turnout in VR and Oti, in 2020?
    Shut up, if you have nothing sensible to say.

    A researcher at a reputable institution like Noguchi cannot be an idiot. If you disagree with her, just say so, and let us know why you disagree with her.

    Ignore her. The same way Ghanaians voted against the NDC in 2016 so what is her point?

  • Boggy 1 year ago

    Check NDC votes in 2012 and 2016 and compare the results in their strongholds. Voter apathy occurred in 2016 and affected the 2016 votes.

    It may be a protest vote for you, NOT EVERYONE. People voted for the NDC because NPP failed the country, PERIOD... NDC has won elections in the past, so this is not a fluke.
