The National Democratic Congress (NDC) is on track to secure a majority in Ghana\u2019s next parliament, according to a report by research firm Global InfoAnalytics ahead of the December 7 general elections.<\/p>\n

The analysis projects the NDC will win 150 parliamentary seats, while the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) is expected to claim 99 seats.<\/p>\n

One seat is predicted to go to an independent candidate, with 29 constituencies classified as too close to call, signalling intense competition in those areas.<\/p>\n

In the presidential race, the report forecasts victory for the NDC\u2019s flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, with 52.2% of the vote.<\/p>\n

This places him ahead of the NPP\u2019s candidate, Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, who is projected to garner 41.4% of the popular vote.<\/p>\n

Global InfoAnalytics highlights that these predictions reflect shifting political dynamics and heightened competition in both parliamentary and presidential contests as the election approaches.<\/p>\n
