The Executive Director of Global Info Analytics, Musah Danquah, has expressed strong doubts about the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) chances in the upcoming Ablekuma North parliamentary rerun, predicting a likely loss to the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Speaking on Joy FM’s Top Story on Tuesday, July 9, 2025, Mr Danquah said the NPP’s threats to boycott the July 11 rerun would have little to no impact on the outcome, as enthusiasm among the party’s base is already at a low point.
He explained that morale and motivation among NPP supporters in the constituency had significantly declined, making it unlikely for the party to mobilize voters effectively.
He further stated that even in the absence of boycott threats, the party would have faced challenges in achieving meaningful turnout.
Mr Danquah noted that signs of voter apathy had been evident for some time and that, in his assessment, the current political climate in Ablekuma North was more favourable to the NDC.
He added that based on available data and the mood on the ground, the NPP was unlikely to win the seat and was on course to lose to the NDC.
His remarks came just a day before the High Court dismissed an injunction filed by the NPP’s parliamentary candidate, Nana Akua Afriyie, which sought to halt the rerun in 19 polling stations.
The Electoral Commission has since confirmed that the election will go ahead as scheduled on July 11.
The rerun aims to resolve the dispute over the December 2024 parliamentary elections in Ablekuma North, which were marred by uncollated results and legal challenges.
