Dr. Palgrave Boakye-Danquah has attributed the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) defeat in the 2024 general elections to what he calls a rejection of the party’s flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, by his own people.
The Governance analyst said the numbers clearly show that Muslim and northern communities did not back the former Vice President in am interview on Breakfast Daily on Channel One TV.
“He should tell us why we lost. He should tell us why we lost in all Zongos, why we lost in all Muslim communities, he should tell us why we lost in all Kusasi communities … The data is very clear why we lost,” he argued.
Dr. Boakye-Danquah further explained that the voting pattern revealed a lack of trust in Bawumia among the very groups expected to champion his bid.
“We know why we lost. If we lost because Muslims themselves didn’t vote, those reasons will remain.
“If we lost because a particular tribe did not vote, the reasons will remain,” he stressed.
According to him, the outcome of the polls is a reflection of Bawumia’s failure to secure the confidence of his home base, which ultimately cost the NPP victory.
