Bantama Member of Parliament, Francis Asenso-Boakye
The Member of Parliament of Bantama, Francis Asenso-Boakye, has urged the leadership of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to learn from the outcome of the 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections.
He made these remarks during an interaction with journalists in Kumasi on February 11, 2025, according to a report by 3news.com.
Asenso-Boakye explained that the NDC’s success in the December 7 election was a reflection of Ghanaian’s dissatisfaction with the party’s leadership.
“We have to take a cue from this precedent to know that the 2024 Election was not won just by the campaign of the NDC alone, but the displeasure of many Ghanaians who did not see leadership from NPP,” he said.
He called on NPP Members and its leadership to draw lessons from the outcome of the 2024 Election, pointing them to a trend of voter apathy.
“If you look at the election this time around, the voter apathy has gone up. In my constituency, Bantama, more than 30,000 people did not vote.
“Many Ghanaians didn’t vote. They are not interested in politics anymore,” he noted.
In the 2024 Election, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) lost to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) as John Dramani Mahama emerged victorious.
The NPP’s 2024 presidential candidate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia secured 41.32% of the total votes, representing 4,735,687 votes, while Mahama secured 56.68%, representing 6,779,025 of the votes.
