<\/p>\nFormer president, John Dramani Mahama has said that the fact that the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) narrowly won the 2020 elections was a blessing in disguise.<\/p>\n
He asserted that the NPP had fallen into a \u201cbig hole\u201d that had been excavated by the Akufo-Addo-led government, which would have made it difficult for the NDC to win if they had.<\/p>\n
\u201c[But] God said, \u2018NDC, stand aside. Let those who dug their hole fall into the hole. And today, they have fallen deep into the hole.\u201d<\/p>\n
As part of his campaign tour, Mahama said this while speaking to party members at the Amazing Hotel in Zebilla, Upper East Region.<\/p>\n
Before this month\u2019s presidential primaries, the former President is canvassing the country for support.<\/p>\n
He is vying to lead the NDC into elections for a fourth time. On Tuesday, May 2, Mahama stressed that the election of 2024 \u201cwill be different,\u201d emphasizing how the branch executives will be taking the initiative.<\/p>\n
Days after the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) predicted that the NDC will win the 2024 elections, he made this claim. The EIU rates the NDC as the clear favorite to win and secure a majority in the legislature. John Dramani Mahama will surely serve as its leader.<\/p>\n
The company\u2019s national report, which was made available to the public on Friday, April 28, stated thus.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur baseline forecast is that economic hardships, the fallout from debt restructuring, and poor governance will create an anti-incumbency wave and push the electorate to seek change.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe NDC, therefore, stands a strong chance of winning the 2024 presidential poll and
\nsecuring a legislative majority.\u201d<\/p>\n
EIU said the contests for both parties will be highly competitive, \u201cwith several high-profile figures expected to contend.\u201d The report also said there will rather be an anti-incumbency sentiment and public discontent for the government, virtually handing power over to the largest opposition party.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe expect a transfer of power to the NDC at the 2024 elections, driven by anti-incumbency sentiment and public discontent with the current government over worsening living standards. However, irrespective of who retains power, we expect the policy to continue to focus on ensuring macroeconomic stability.\u201d<\/p>\n
