A political analyst, Dr Kwasi Amakye-Boateng has stated that the five northern regions will be key in determining the winner of the 2024 election.
According to him, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) running mate, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has made significant strides in these regions.
A recent study projects that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) will lead in 11 regions in the December 7 polls.
Research by SBM Intelligence indicates that the NPP's vote share in its stronghold, the Ashanti Region, may experience a slight decline. Additionally, the NPP is expected to face strong competition from the NDC in the Northern, Western North, and Oti regions.
Speaking on JoyNews, Dr Amakye-Boateng said, “The NDC has definitely had its own way there [Northern Region], and this time around they also have one of their own who is prominent. Yes, it is going to be a key battleground, there is no doubt about that.”
Dr Amakye-Boateng said that the Greater Acra and Central Regions stand out as swing regions that both parties will focus on, while the Eastern Region is expected to support the NPP.
He noted that Greater Accra is not as predictable, and if it votes for the NDC, it could significantly enhance their chances.
“The same thing goes with Central Region, and Central Region is an interesting place, very difficult to predict how they are voting once again. Once again, if Central Region stays with NDC, obviously it would boost their chances.”
