Dr. Samuel Afriyie is confident the election of Mahamudu Bawumia as flagbearer for the NPP will force the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) to modify their report that predicted a victory for the NDC in the 2024 elections.
The respected lecturer stated on Wontumi TV which was monitored by Wontumionline.com that the recent research published by EIU was conducted before the NPP elected Bawumia as their flagbearer and the weight he brings to the table will prick the research institute to update their records.
“When the research was conducted Bawumia, hadn’t been declared flagbearer so sometimes, times and seasons of research and certain policies play a role…When Bawumia hits the grounds the dynamic will change. What will happen in the northern part of Ghana will be a different story and this is just the beginning”, he said.
The EIU has predicted a likely victory for the opposition NDC in the 2024 general elections.
In a report titled ‘Africa Outlook 2024’, the EIU noted that Ghana is likely to experience a transfer of power from the ruling New Patriotic Party to the opposition National Democratic Congress.
