Folks, anyone downplaying the seriousness of what is happening to the party affiliations in the Ashanti region and dwelling on some supporters who did not come out to vote today is not serious and should not be anywhere near party strategy. Now let's see the seriousness of NPP decline in the Ashanti with data from October 2024 and March 2026. In October 2024 voters who say they are NPP were 61% but it has now declined to 34%, a drop of 27%, nationally, NPP were 37% and now 25%, a drop of 12%. NPP is bleeding more in the Ashanti region than nationally, which is dangerous. NDC have moved from 17% in the region in 2024 to 30% in 2026, an increase of 13%. The only voter groups that saw an increase was NDC and floating voters, meaning the increase in NDC supporters were voters who defected to NDC after the 2024 election. Again, if you look at the party affiliations of the Akan voters, 67% were NPP in 2024 but now, it is only 41%, that is a drop of 26%, nearly the same drop as all voters in the region. The NDD among Akans have increased from 14% to 24%, representing a 10% increase. Again, Akans joining the NDC. Nationally, 40% of Akans support NDC and 30% support NPP. The work ahead is BIG. This is the kind of data that could make NDC think they could cross the 50% mark. But data when contextualize, is frightening. The 2024 data was published in October and March 2026 data was published recently. But putting them side-by-side now makes one sees the seismic shift in the party affiliations in a region that has been the backbone of the main opposition.
