The National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP), the two main political parties, are confident of achieving significant victories in the number of parliamentary seats in the Western Region.
With special voting currently underway in the Western and Eastern Regions these political parties have intensified their efforts to secure parliamentary seats ahead of the main election.
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) is determined to make significant gains in in the Western Region, aiming to increase their parliamentary seats from the current nine to at least 14. Ernest Nkrumah Taylor, the NPP’s Regional Election Officer, expressed confidence in their strategy and preparation.
“We have done all our homework and assignments, and we strongly believe we will secure a minimum of 14 out of the 17 seats,” Taylor asserted. He emphasized that the party’s groundwork and mobilization efforts have positioned them for major victory in the region.
On the other hand, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) is also eyeing substantial gains. Currently holding eight seats in the region, the party aims to increase this number to 13. Newman Johannes Kpogo, the NDC’s Regional Election Officer, expressed optimism about their chances.
“We are sure of securing 13 seats from the Western Region. It may even be more, but 13 is a definite target,” Kpogo said, highlighting the party’s confidence in its campaign and voter turnout strategy.
The Western Region, with its 17 parliamentary seats, remains a critical battleground for both major political parties. The stakes are high, as the outcome of the special voting could offer insights into the eventual distribution of seats after the general elections.
