Election 2024: Our parliamentary candidates will deliver – Afenyo-Markin

As the elections approach the final stretch, the Majority Leader, Alexander Afenyo Markin, has expressed optimism about the New Patriotic Party (NPP) securing a majority of parliamentary seats.

However, he acknowledged that the presidential race remains highly competitive, describing it as “too close to call.”




In an interview with JoyNews, he said only hard work and vigilance can guarantee electoral victory for the NPP on Saturday.

“We should push hard and cross the finishing line. If the polls show that you are likely to win not less than 148 seats but on the presidential side, it is a tight race and you have an urge, what you need to do is retail your campaign, and finish hard because there are still undecided voters… it is a call on you the politician to push that through to cross the finishing line. I am sure that with determination, our parliamentary candidates will deliver,” he said.




He urged the NPP parliamentary candidates not to sleep but to work day and night to achieve results.

“When the sleep is coming, push the sleep out. Get your constituency officers, polling station executives and all campaign supporters to sell your message. Focus on the electorates and explain issues and I am sure that we will receive a positive response that will translate into a vote to give us the finishing. I am very optimistic.”

This follows Global InfoAnalytics projecting a parliamentary victory for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the December 7 elections.

According to the latest forecast, the NDC is expected to win approximately 150 seats, securing a majority in the 275-seat legislature.

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) is predicted to take 99 seats, while one seat is projected to go to an independent candidate. A further 29 constituencies remain too close to call, highlighting the competitive nature of the race.
