New data from Global InfoAnalytics has painted a worrying picture for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), revealing a significant decline in voter affiliation just months after the 2024 elections.
According to Mussa Dankwah, CEO of the research firm, the latest face-to-face tracking poll for March 2026 shows that only 25% of voters now openly associate themselves with the NPP.
This marks a sharp drop from the 37% recorded before the 2024 elections. Meanwhile, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has seen its affiliation numbers climb from 33% to 46% over the same period.
The situation looks even bleaker for the NPP in key swing regions, Greater Accra, Central, and Western, where only 22% of voters identify with the party compared to a commanding 58% for the NDC.
Dankwah noted that factors such as the aftermath of the NPP’s internal primaries and the ongoing cocoa price controversy have contributed to a political environment that remains hostile to the opposition party.
“What is the problem and what can NPP do to reverse this tide?” he asked, framing his findings as a contribution to strengthening democracy and governance in Ghana.
Dankwah also addressed potential criticism, stating firmly: “I have come in peace and with data to help build democracy and good governance.
If you insult me or call me names, fine, it will not stop me from sharing data to help figure out the problem. It is for God and country.”
The findings have sparked intense discussions among political analysts, with many suggesting the NPP needs to urgently reassess its strategy if it hopes to regain relevance ahead of the 2028 elections.
For now, the numbers speak for themselves, and they don’t look good for the opposition.
