<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>The New Patriotic Party (NPP) stronghold regions of Ahafo, Ashanti, Bono, Eastern, and Western have witnessed a significant increase in their voter population ahead of the 2024 general elections. </strong></p>



<p>According to the Electoral Commission (EC), the combined voter population in these regions has risen to 7,473,766, up from 6,858,388 in 2020, representing an 8.97% growth rate.</p>



<p>The Ashanti Region, the NPP&#8217;s electoral stronghold, has experienced a 9.11% growth in voter population, increasing from 3,020,141 in 2020 to 3,295,274 in 2024.</p>



<p> However, despite this increase in voter numbers, the share of the national voter register attributed to NPP strongholds has slightly declined. In 2020, these regions made up 40.2% of the total voter register, but in 2024, their share has dipped to 39.8%.</p>

<p>This trend presents a nuanced picture for the NPP as it gears up for a closely contested election. While the increase in voter numbers is a positive development, the decline in proportional representation may compel the party to intensify its outreach efforts in these regions to consolidate its support base.</p>



<p>Historically, the NPP&#8217;s stronghold regions have played a crucial role in the party&#8217;s electoral success. As noted in a recent analysis, the NPP&#8217;s five regions hold an average of 35.10% of the national vote, while the NDC&#8217;s eight regions account for a combined 29.57%.</p>



<p>This geographical advantage has allowed the NPP to win national elections by securing fewer regions compared to the NDC.</p>
