North Tongu Member of Parliament (MP), Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has described the National Democratic Congress’s (NDC) recent electoral triumph as a “total decimation” and a “massacre” of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

The President-elect, John Dramani Mahama, secured a resounding victory in the 2024 general elections with 6,328,397 votes, representing 56.55% of the valid votes cast.

His main contender, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia of the NPP, managed 4,657,304 votes, accounting for 41.61%.

This historic win marks Mahama’s return to the presidency after his initial term ended in 2017.

In an interview on Accra-based Citi FM, Mr Ablakwa highlighted the significance of the NDC’s win, describing it as unparalleled in Ghana’s political history.

“What has emerged is a total decimation, a tsunami, a massacre of the NPP. This will go down in history as the greatest political comeback by any politician, and all credit must go to the Ghanaian people,” he said.

The North Tongu MP attributed the NDC’s victory to widespread dissatisfaction with the Akufo-Addo-Bawumia administration, which he described as disconnected and self-serving.

“Going into the election, a slogan emerged that it is Ghana versus the NPP because we had an Akufo-Addo-Bawumia presidency that refused to listen. They were very arrogant, very intransigent.

“They destroyed livelihoods, the environment, and water bodies, prioritizing their convenience and self-interest over the people’s needs,” he emphasized.

Mr Ablakwa further lauded Ghanaians for choosing change and demonstrating their desire for a government that listens and prioritizes their well-being.
