A member of the New Patriotic Party’s communications team, Awal Mohammed has disclosed how frightened the NDC is, due the electing of Dr. Bawumia as flagbearer for NPP.
According to the PRO for the Youth Employment Agency (YEA), the only communities that favours the NDC in every election are the Zongo communities and slums. However, the narrative will be different in 2024, as Dr. Bawumia, who is a northerner, now leads NPP as a flagbearer and thus, the zongos and slums will want to vote for their own.
“Every time NPP is able to garner about 20% votes from the Zongo communities, we win elections. In the year 2000 that was what happened. In 2016, we even had 26% of the votes from Zongo communities and that is how come we had nearly One million votes…this is the reason the NDC has become frightened, now that Dr. Bawumia has become the flagbearer for NPP…they no longer have a comfortable lead in the Zongos and slums”, he told Kwaku Dawuro in an interview on Movement In The Morning show on Movement TV.Â
He disclosed that the NDC has never won elections in every intellectual community in Ghana. The only areas they win are the Zongos and slums and now, they would have to battled that out with Dr. Bawumia.
“No intellectual community votes for the NDC…this is the reason they have never won an election in any tertiary institution here in Ghana…they know their votes will be splitted in the Zongo communities because Dr. Bawumia will capture their votes.
