UK-based research firms Economist Intelligence Unit and Fitch Solutions say former President John Mahama is likely to win the 2024 presidential election in Ghana.
While the EIU said Ghana is likely to experience a transfer of power from the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) to the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), of which Mr Mahama is the flag bearer, Fitch Solutions said the NPP, led by Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia, who was elected as flag bearer on 4 November 2023, is unlikely to retain power in next year’s general elections.
The EIU puts its projection largely down to declining living standards, limited job opportunities, and poor public services.
Fitch Solutions predicts that Mr Mahama is likely to win the swing regions by nearly 48 per cent as against Dr Bawumia’s 29%.
