Idiots calling themselves researchers. Ghanaians voted to kick the NPP out but also voted for the NDC because they felt it was a better alternative. We all read from polls before the elections about the intentions of Ghanaian ...

John Mahama had 6.3 Million votes in 2020 and he lost the election.In 2024 he got the same 6.3 Million and he won.This means he did not do anything significant to win this year's election. His election is due to a Protest Vot ...

What this must rather tell you is that, NPP has never won any genuine election in Ghana especially from Ashanti and Eastern regions. They always rig and bloat poling station results. This years election is a true election out ...

@Nzema, you nailed it with precision, poise, power, pace and perfection. This is exactly the case. I need not add more. BRAVO!
Obviously Mahama was voted out when he was a sitting president and he has indeed not done anything differently but the foolhardy attitude of Akuffo Addo affected the NPP and not Bawumia as a person
I guess the NDC members were sleeping when the NPP were rigging the elections. In 2012, the NDC got 579,298 in Volta region but in 2016, they got 493,141. Per your views, it means the NDC had been rigging in the Volta region
There was Voter apathy in 2016 and when this happens, the ruling Govt(NDC) is greatly affected.
People must read and learn and stop showing their ignorance. The Researcher is right.
Avu koklo.
Absolute rubbish
What was the number of registered voters? And who told you that those who didn’t vote are all Npp members?
There is evidence that that elections were seriously rigged. It can also be argued if the 6.3 won the current elections, then it also won last time with similar figure but because of frauds, that figure became insignificant. ...

This is a fact. Same votes in 2024 and 2020 should provoke those insulting the Lady to think. Anytime there is voter apathy, the ruling party loses a lot. Check NDC even in the Volta Region in 2016.
Just incase you and your clueless researcher need sense...allow me tell you npp won 2016 election by the same margin they claim they won 2020 with..muagyimi kraa dodo
What is your proof that it was the same people who voted in 2020, who voted in 2024?
What was voter turnout in VR and Oti, in 2020?
Shut up, if you have nothing sensible to say.
A researcher at a reputable institution like Noguchi cannot be an idiot. If you disagree with her, just say so, and let us know why you disagree with her.
Clear display off idiocy. Is she a political researcher?
Ignore her. The same way Ghanaians voted against the NDC in 2016 so what is her point?
Check NDC votes in 2012 and 2016 and compare the results in their strongholds. Voter apathy occurred in 2016 and affected the 2016 votes.
Well, NDC has won and that's the $3 trillion news! All I was begging from God was to relieve us from the cunning criminal and hammerhead Akufo-Addo and his gang of bandits.
I am not NDC member, and I have minimal to zero t ...

The Clinical Researcher can turn it upside down and inside out however he wants, or chose to define the NDC win by every nomenclature in the book, and one thing is clear, the evil party's lost and Ghana has won!

It may be a protest vote for you, NOT EVERYONE. People voted for the NDC because NPP failed the country, PERIOD... NDC has won elections in the past, so this is not a fluke.
Want a hankerchief?
Maybe, only 3 persons voted, but who the cares? Very, very evil NPP lost, and trust me, Ghana smells better!
Bawumia is dead politically.
Sorry, Kweku, I now understand your post, I'm with you.
#StopGalamsey# Protest vote or not NDC has worn, forward the nation goes, #StopGalamsey#
Probably, all the smaller Parties could come together to form a coalition party and organise themselves well and they could be a stronger force against the big two. We need something like that.
Who care about your analysis. A win is a win. Close your dirty mouth.
if you scored your own goal, it's still a goal.

Foolish woman and bogus researcher. Wo tw3!!! Kwasiaa buuluubuuluuu!!!
The lady is 1000 percent right. The thieving NDC is not the alternative to the NPP at all. It was certainly a protest vote against the NPP not listening to the people. The NDC is such a despicable party and should not tickle ...

You can cry red hot blood, you despicable begin. You have been beaten mercilessly. Your Akuffo Addo is the worst president in the history of this country.
Despicable being.

You are right madam. A lot of npp supporters didn't vote otherwise the outcome wouldn't be like this.
This is a foolish comment
DENIAL is a stage of grief. You will eventually reach the acceptance stage.
Say you voted as protest. Most Ghanaians voted because the know NPP lied to us to gain power and did worse than what the blamed JDM for in 2016. 202 was questionable because NDC did.not put our house in order to monitor the ...

It is a big lie! Did the NPP only contest against the NDC? Why didn't they vote for any other parties? Stop spreading lies.
Nonsense! There were many alternatives on the ballot,including giants like Allan,and your own party the CPP. Why were they not chosen? Stop this warped analysis.
The truth of the matter is that some figures from some regions were always bloated this time the NDC made sure the ghosts didn't vote. They were vigilant.
You and who? We voted for NDC because we like them. Who told you we like npp . Twaaaaaaa
Loss is loss .Stop the nonsense if you don't have anything sensible to talk.
The protest was in the unprecidented magnitude of the defeat suffered by the NPP, and this protest was against the leadership of the president.
Congratulations to President John Mahama. Under the circumstances the country finds its self, it is really good to have him back.
Ghanaians believed in the competence of the NDC to provide what they wanted.
That Charles bissue and his cronies like dodzie Numekevor and ekow ewusi must all be jailed for their crimes against the state of Ghana!
When you misbehave and hurt the country so badly, you'll be a goner
These are the charlatans who are polluting the academia. I do not see the logic of what this lady is saying. If the vote was not an endorsement of NDC but a protest one, then why did it take only NDC to receive such a massive ...

Baloney. What is wrong with winning a protest vote?
Npp can suit themselves with these arguments. If they won would they bring these points? They simply lost !!!
The so-called assertion of voter apathy may not be necessarily true, especially in the Ashanti region. Rather, the vigilance of the NDC has prevented you in the Ashanti region and other places from stealing, stuffing the ball ...

Whatever you call it, NDC has won. Every party who loses an election is a protest against the party. The masses will vote you out.
Mahama is coming to build our infrastructure but not transform the country and our way of doing things. The indiscipline in the society is going to continue and the lawlessness (such as selling goods on the streets, putting u ...

Fine in your imaginations.WAIT UNTIL ALL STATE LOOTERS HAVE BEEN THROWN TO NSAWAM PRISONS.
NDC rode on the back of popular economic discontent among the population. With the vague economic policies of John Mahama, one wonders if it's not going to be a game of musical chairs. The worst is yet to come, wait and see.
Same was Akuffo Addo's win in 2016.
Every win in Ghana has been a protest vote.
Why NDC, then?
Why not any other party?
you`re wrong!! the voters had eleven other choices. don`t try and take the thunder out of ndc`s remarkable feat.
Do not speak for all Ghanaians. I voted for NDC because I like their vision for Ghana. Not a protest vote. Why do these so called intellectuals always think they can speak for us? Protest vote against NPP and voting because w ...

Why did protesters not refrain from voting or make another choice or even spoil their votes?
It was, definitely, an endorsement.
That is your limited opinion, anyway.
We don’t care. NPP lost Portorrrrr!
Kofi Adu,I have read all the comments including the usual insults and all but your comment is the sanest,matured and most wisdom laden,JM will do well to listen.
