The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) has predicted that the opposition NDC is unlikely to win the 2024 Elections if the Party presents its candidate for the 2020 Elections, John Dramani Mahama again.
According to the EIU’s five-year forecast for Ghana, though the NDC has a higher probability of winning the next election, it will be more likely so if the Party presents a fresh candidate instead of Mr. Mahama.
The report further states that the numerous challenges facing the Akufo-Addo government; unemployment, economic downturn, and corruption, among others will be the undoing of the NPP.
According to the EIU, these factors will most likely cause the electorate to seek change.
The former President has led the NDC into two unsuccessful election campaigns in 2016 and 2020
In the wake of numerous challenges plaguing the government including unemployment, an economic downturn, and corruption among others, EIU believes these developments will fuel citizens’ sentiments against the ruling NPP administration.
“Our baseline forecast is that ongoing public dissatisfaction with the slow pace of improvements in governance—such as infrastructure development, job creation and easing of corruption—will trigger anti-incumbency factors and push the electorate to seek a change.”
