The feeling in Accra is different from the regions - Ayew Afriye confident NPP will win all Middle Belt seats

Dr. Nana Ayew Afriye, Middle Belt Campaign Coordinator for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and the NPP’s 2024 campaign, has boldly stated that the party will win all the seats in the middle belt of the country.

He added that the work they have done will give them a sure victory over the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) within the belt.

Dr. Ayew Afriye, who is also the Member of Parliament for Effiduase-Asokore, made this prediction during a radio appearance on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen on Thursday.

He added that the NPP will also capture one of the two seats currently held by the NDC in the Ahafo Region, explaining that the party’s selection of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as its flagbearer has disrupted the campaign of the NDC.

“The NDC cannot campaign using tribalism and corruption,” Dr. Afriyie said. He noted that, the Bono Region is looking favorable for the NPP, and he reaffirmed the party’s determination to recapture all previously lost seats in the region.

Dr. Ayew Afriye also added that crisscrossing the regions and Accra, he realises that the feeling is different on either side.

Explaining what he meant by that, he said that in Accra, there is a sense that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) will lose the general elections, but in the rest of the country, the support and assurance that they are on track to another win is profound.

“When I get to Accra, I have a different feel. All the elections we have had, the kind of feel you have in Accra changes the direction and everybody must transmit, but it’s not transmitting; it’s not going. Get out of Accra and you see that it is a different picture, but get into Accra, it feels like NPP is losing. Out of Accra, it is never the case.

“And many people are saying it and a lot of things are not the same. The election we are going into is unusual and a lot of journalists are saying it and to them, it’s unusual because how things must go, when they go around, the kind of feedback they get is not the same as what they thought. So, if you heard, many people are saying that be careful of what you say in Accra or what you think in Accra because there is no transmission. It is like a total blackout,” he said.
