Whoever wins Accra is likely to win 2024 elections - Mussa Dankwah

The Executive Director and Head of Global Research at Global InfoAnalytics, Mussa Dankwah, has emphasised that any political party that secures majority votes in the Greater Accra region is likely to gain an edge in the 2024 general elections.

He explained that Greater Accra, being the region with the highest voter population, plays a pivotal role in determining the outcome of national elections and that winning significant votes in the region, therefore, becomes crucial for any party's path to victory.

"If you perform well in Greater Accra, it can significantly boost your overall numbers, which is why Accra is so important," Dankwah noted.

He further stated that while John Dramani Mahama of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) won the Greater Accra region in the 2020 elections, he is poised to increase his vote share in the 2024 elections.

"If Mahama wins Greater Accra by a comfortable margin, it could make it easier for him to secure a one-touch victory," Dankwah remarked during an interview on Accra-based 3FM on Thursday, October 17, 2024.
