Mohammed Mubarak Muntaka, the Member of Parliament for Asawase and former Minority Chief Whip, has expressed his doubts about the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) ability to secure 85% of the votes in the Ashanti Region during the upcoming December elections ¹ ² ³ ⁴ ⁵.
Muntaka stated that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) aims to secure approximately 32% of the votes in the region. He emphasized that the NDC’s lowest performance in the region since 1992 has been around 20%, making a jump to 32% feasible.
He questioned the feasibility of the NPP’s strategy to achieve 85%, suggesting it would require significant measures to suppress NDC voters. Muntaka expressed confidence in the NDC’s prospects, saying, “We are not intimidated by Dr. Prempeh’s candidacy. Let him make mistakes that could ultimately work in our favor.”
