The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) is projecting a decisive lead for its presidential candidate, John Dramani Mahama, in the 2024 general elections. According to the party’s collation of results from 37,305 out of 40,976 polling stations, Mahama has garnered 6,013,956 votes, representing 56.43% of the total valid votes cast.
The New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) candidate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, trails with 4,393,918 votes, or 41.22%. The NDC’s figures suggest a margin of 1,620,038 votes separating the two leading candidates. With 90.98% of polling stations reporting, the NDC remains confident of victory.
The data was shared by the NDC camp, courtesy of Woezor TV, a platform closely monitoring the election. Party officials and supporters have already begun celebrations in anticipation of an official declaration by the Electoral Commission.
Speaking to the media, NDC General Secretary Fiifi Kwetey expressed optimism about Mahama’s imminent victory. “These numbers reflect the will of the people. Ghanaians have spoken decisively for change, and we are confident that the Electoral Commission will confirm these results,” he said.
Political analysts have urged caution, emphasizing the need for official verification by the Electoral Commission. They note that while the NDC’s figures show a clear trend, the final results may still include votes from key constituencies that could influence the overall outcome.
Across the nation, citizens are glued to updates, with many expressing hope for a peaceful conclusion to the election process. Calls for calm have been echoed by civil society organizations, urging political parties to await the Electoral Commission’s official announcement.
As the final results draw closer, the NDC remains buoyed by their projections, positioning John Mahama for a possible return to the presidency. The nation now awaits the Electoral Commission’s official declaration to confirm whether these projections hold true.
