Dennis Aboagye talks about the December election
In the live radio interview, Dennis Aboagye pointed to low voter turnout as a key factor contributing to the NPP's defeat in the 2024 elections.
He criticised the party’s members for failing to vote in large numbers, which he believes played a significant role in their devastating loss.
During an interview with JoyNews, he compared voting statistics from the 2020 and 2024 elections to illustrate his argument.
In the Ahafo region, for instance, the NPP garnered 145,000 votes in 2020, but this number plummeted to 113,000 in 2024.
Conversely, the NDC managed to increase its votes from 116,000 in 2020 to 130,000 in 2024, highlighting the shifting political landscape and the need for the NPP to address voter turnout engagement moving forward.
