Former National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo, has expressed his confidence in the NDC’s victory in the 2024 elections.
Reflecting on the election outcome, he said while he always knew the party would win, he was overwhelmed by the margin of victory in certain constituencies.
He pointed to surveys from organizations such as CDD, Global Info, and other researchers, which predicted an NDC win.
Speaking in an interview on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen programme, Mr. Ofosu-Ampofo remarked, “Ghana is now green,” referring to the widespread support the NDC received across the country, including traditionally strongholds of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
He also noted that even the Eastern Region, traditionally an NPP stronghold, had almost “turned green” as the NDC secured significant victories there.
“I am not surprised by the results; it took a lot of planning, focus, and determination to stay the course. The interventions we introduced played a key role in helping us gain power. The victory is the result of the strategic decisions we made as a party” he said.
According to him, after losing the 2020 elections, the NDC never rested.
“We conducted a thorough review and soul-searching. Since that time, I haven’t slept until the December 7, 2024 elections, which we won.”
In his view, the party’s success was due to a collective effort to make the NDC more attractive to voters.
Mr. Ofosu-Ampofo also acknowledged that going into the December 7 elections, the NDC and John Dramani Mahama’s brand were “very attractive.”
“Ghanaians spoke loudly by voting for Mahama massively. The results showed the NDC’s strong connection with the people” he said.
He took the opportunity to thank God for the party’s victory.
“I never discounted the God factor, especially in these elections.”
The December 7, 2024 elections reshaped Ghana’s political landscape, with the NDC securing a parliamentary majority and John Dramani Mahama emerging victorious in the presidential race, defeating the NPP’s candidate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
