Some NPP supporters at a public rally
Leaked research outcome paints doom in some NPP strongholds where sitting MP's popularity has waned as 2024 Parliamentary and Presidential elections loom. Though some twenty-two (22) incumbent MPs decided not to contest the upcoming 2024 elections, there are yet other Unpopular incumbent MPs from the ruling Party who if elected could either proceed to win in a diminishing manner which will adversely affect the Presidential votes or lose the Parliamentary election via skirt and blouse a situation delegates in such Constituencies should avoid by voting against those MPs to save the Party and improve the Party's chances of breaking the eight (8).
The following Constituencies have incumbent MPs whose popularity has gone down drastically, and if they manoeuvre their way to win Saturday 27th January primaries, then their Party will be in a dire situation. Notable among them are Offinso North with Hon Augustine Collins Ntim Fordwour who is serving his fourth term but the statistics do not support his candidature in canvasing for votes this term looking at his continuous dwindling Electoral fortunes from 2012 to 2020. Parliamentary results throughout time have egged many votes in favour of the opposition, and this below confirms it, Ntim Augustine Collins 2012
17,024-50.36%
Samuel Kojo Appiah Kubi NDC
16,417-48.56%
2016
18028-53.15%
Samuel Kojo Appiah Kubi 15,734-46.39%
2020
18,614-48.67%
Acheampong Ceasar Ofosu 17,273-45.16%
From the stated statistics supra, any scientific party man wouldn't risk giving Offinso North to Hon Augustine Collins Ntim at this crunch hour. So delegates are advised to vote against Hon Augustine Collins Ntim for the Parliamentary seat for NPP.
Another Constituency is Asante Akyem Central, where the incumbent MP Hon Kwame Anyimadu Antwi, whose last two elections result depicts a very dangerous trend that needs to be halted
2016
27,557-75.90%
2022
Kwame Anyimadu Antwi
22,681-52%
The above-mentioned trends show that if nothing is done to halt the rapid downward trend, then something untoward will happen to the NPP in our quest to canvass for more votes for breaking the (8). Delegates in this must reject the incumbent MP for more presidential votes in the coming general elections
