Elections 2024: NDC makes history for securing 188 seats in parliament

The
National
Democratic
Congress
(NDC)
has
made
significant
strides
in
the
parliamentary
elections
by
securing
a
commanding
majority
of
seats
in
several
key
regions
across
the
country.

Early
results
reveal
strong
support
for
the
opposition
party
in
traditionally
loyal
areas,
as
well
as
notable
gains
in
swing
regions.

Below
is
the
breakdown
of
parliamentary
seats
won
by
the
NDC
across
the
regions:

Upper
West
Region

The
NDC
secured
a
clean
sweep,
winning
all
11
seats.

Upper
East
Region

Another
100%
victory,
claiming
all
15
seats.

Oti
Region

Dominated
the
region,
winning
all

seats.

Continued
its
traditional
dominance
with
18
out
of
18
seats.

out
of
11
seats.

win

out
of
47
seats
in
the
NPP
stronghold.

Northern
Region

Secured
12
out
of
18
seats.

These
results
shows
the
NDC’s
continued
strength
in
its
traditional
bases,
particularly
in
the
Volta,
Upper
West,
and
Upper
East
regions,
where
it
achieved
clean
sweeps.

The
party
also
made
impressive
gains
in
swing
regions
like
Greater
Accra
and
Central,
significantly
narrowing
the
gap
in
traditionally
competitive
constituencies.

The
ruling
New
Patriotic
Party
(NPP)
retained
dominance
in
regions
such
as
the
Ashanti
Region
but
faced
notable
losses
in
several
areas,
including
Bono
East
and
Western,
signaling
a
shifting
political
landscape.

As
final
tallies
are
being
confirmed,
political
analysts
suggest
that
these
results
could
have
a
significant
impact
on
the
presidential
race
and
overall
governance
in
the
next
parliamentary
session.
With
a
robust
showing
in
the
legislature,
the
NDC
has
positioned
itself
as
a
formidable
force
in
shaping
Ghana’s
political
future.
