A recent prediction by research firm Global InfoAnalytics suggests that John Dramani Mahama, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, will emerge victorious in Ghana’s upcoming 2024 presidential elections.
According to the prediction, Mahama is expected to secure 52.2% of the vote, narrowly edging out Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), who is projected to receive 41.4%.
Other contenders, including Alan Kyeremanten and independent candidate Nana Kwame Bediako, are forecasted to obtain 2.5% and 3.0% of the vote, respectively. Minor candidates collectively account for 0.9%.
In terms of the parliamentary landscape, the NDC is anticipated to dominate, with a projected 150 seats, compared to the NPP’s 99 seats. One independent candidate is expected to win, while 29 constituencies remain highly competitive and too close to call.
A regional breakdown of the predictions suggests that Mahama will win in major regions such as Greater Accra, Central, Western, Volta, and Bono East. Conversely, Bawumia is likely to retain control in the Ashanti, Eastern, Bono, and North East regions.
Voter engagement is expected to be high, with an average turnout of 77.6% anticipated. Regional variations are likely to contribute to the final results, and Global InfoAnalytics has promised a detailed breakdown of constituency predictions after the polls on December 7, 2024.
These predictions come ahead of the highly anticipated 2024 presidential elections, which are expected to be a closely contested two-horse race between Mahama and Bawumia. The elections will take place on December 7, 2024.
