Daniel Krull, the German ambassador to Ghana, has forecast that a second round of voting may be necessary in Ghana’s next presidential election. Although the two major parties, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP), are both actively campaigning, he pointed out that a close election could result in a runoff.
Recent analysis from a research and data firm, Fitch Solutions, says the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) will be defeated by the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the December 7 general elections.
The London-based firm which has been consistent with its forecast since last year argues that 54 per cent of respondents surveyed tipped NDC’s candidate John Mahama as the winner in the upcoming presidential election.
