According to a Global InfoAnalytics post-election survey, 68% of participants blame former President Nana Akufo-Addo for the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) loss in the general elections of 2024.
The poll shows how the public feels about the party’s defeat, with a sizable majority of voters blaming important government officials as well.
According to the results, 37% of respondents blame the loss on Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the former vice president and 2024 NPP presidential contender, while 40% blame former finance minister Ken Ofori-Atta.
Furthermore, 32% hold other government appointees accountable, while 33% blame Dr. Matthew Opoku-Prempeh. Additionally, 25% of voters assigned some degree of responsibility to members of Parliament, demonstrating that they were not exempt.
According to the research, a large number of voters believed that the Akufo-led government’s performance was a key element in the NPP’s electoral defeat.
The belief that the former president’s leadership was a major factor in the party’s defeat may have been influenced by factors like public discontent, governance issues, and economic difficulties.
Remarkably, only 9% of respondents hold Kennedy Agyapong accountable. Agyapong participated in the NPP’s primaries but failed to guide the party to victory.
This suggests that although voter choices may have been impacted by intra-party rivalry, the people closely connected to the government’s leadership were primarily held accountable.
The results show how complicated voter mood is and how difficult it is for the NPP to recover from its electoral defeat.
