A post-election poll by Global InfoAnalytics shows that 68% of respondents blame former President Nana Akufo-Addo for the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) defeat in the 2024 elections.
The poll reflects public opinion on the party’s loss. Many voters also blame key government figures for this outcome.
According to the findings, 40% of respondents hold former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta responsible. Meanwhile, 37% attribute the defeat to Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the NPP’s presidential candidate and former Vice President.
Additionally, 33% blame Dr. Matthew Opoku-Prempeh, while 32% point fingers at other government appointees. Members of Parliament are not exempt either; 25% of voters assign them some responsibility.
The data suggests that many voters viewed the performance of Akufo-Addo’s government as a key factor in the NPP’s failure. Economic challenges and governance issues likely contributed to this perception.
Interestingly, only 9% of respondents blame Kennedy Agyapong, who contested in the NPP’s primaries but did not lead in the elections. This indicates that intra-party competition had less influence on voter decisions than those directly associated with government administration.
These findings highlight complex voter sentiments and challenges for the NPP as it seeks to rebuild after its electoral loss.
