stronghold
regions—Bono
East,
North
East,
Northern,
Oti,
Savannah,
Upper
East,
Upper
West,
Volta,
and
Western
North—have
recorded
significant
voter
population
growth
ahead
of
the
2024
general
elections.
The
combined
voter
population
in
these
regions
has
surged
to
5,782,069,
up
from
5,105,460
in
2020,
representing
an
impressive
13.25%
growth
rate.
In
addition
to
the
increase
in
absolute
voter
numbers,
the
share
of
the
national
voter
register
for
NDC
strongholds
has
also
grown.
In
2020,
these
regions
accounted
for
29.9%
of
registered
voters.
By
2024,
their
share
has
risen
to
30.8%,
signalling
a
shift
in
voter
dynamics
that
could
bolster
the
NDC’s
chances
in
key
constituencies.

The
Volta
Region,
a
key
NDC
stronghold,
has
seen
a
10.78%
increase
in
voter
population,
growing
from
924,118
in
2020
to
1,023,830
in
2024.
Its
share
of
the
national
voter
register
has
also
increased
slightly,
from
5.416%
to
5.454%.
This
robust
growth
across
NDC-leaning
regions
demonstrates
an
expanding
base
of
support
for
the
party,
providing
a
solid
foundation
as
it
seeks
to
challenge
the
ruling
NPP
in
the
upcoming
elections.
The
upward
trend
in
voter
numbers
and
register
share
shows
the
potential
for
the
NDC
to
make
significant
inroads,
especially
in
tightly
contested
constituencies.
