Former President John Dramani Mahama is optimistic about the National Democratic Congress (NDC)’s victory in the Greater Accra Region.
The umbrella family’s flagbearer hoped the party would win the region by a larger margin than in previous polls.
He stated that the NDC won the region by only 76,000 votes in the 2020 general elections, but would need to win by 300,000 votes in the 2024 elections.
John Dramani Mahama also emphasised the need for the NDC to increase its vote share in the Volta and Oti regions.
He stated that the NPP received 100,000 votes in the Volta region in the previous polls and is aiming for 300,000 in the upcoming elections, which the NDC must prevent.
He insisted that the NDC do everything possible to increase its margin and prevent the NPP from gaining any more votes.
“We want to increase the votes that we will get from the Volta region and the Oti region. And I am sure that if we are able to do that, we will also increase our votes in Greater Accra. Greater Accra, we won it the last time with only 76,000 votes. We need to win it by about 300,000 votes. We need to widen the gap in the Volta region. The NPP got about 100,000 votes in the Volta region the last time. We got about 800,000. We need to decrease the votes they got in the Volta region. I don’t think NPP can get 300,000 votes in the Volta region.”
The former president made the remarks while speaking with journalists in the Oti region during his campaign tour.
