The Member of Parliament for Berekum West on the ticket of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Dickson Kyere-Duah, has asserted that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) will suffer a heavy defeat in the 2028 general elections, irrespective of who emerges as its presidential candidate.<\/p>\n

Speaking on JoyNews\u2019 AM Show on Thursday, January 30, Mr Kyere-Duah said the NDC remains confident of victory and is unconcerned about the outcome of the ruling party\u2019s internal contest.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhoever the NPP is going to present to us is going to face a humiliating defeat in 2028, no doubt about that. I\u2019ve said it over and over. Let me repeat that\u2014whoever it is, if the NDC continues along the path we\u2019ve charted in the last 12 months, it doesn\u2019t matter,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

According to the MP, the opposition party\u2019s focus is on consolidating gains and strengthening its appeal to voters rather than tracking the NPP\u2019s primaries.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo for us, we\u2019re not bothered whoever is elected tomorrow,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Mr Kyere-Duah also questioned the reliability of opinion polls in predicting outcomes of delegate-based elections, noting that such contests often produce surprises.<\/p>\n

\u201cI strongly believe in science and data, and I\u2019ve followed polls over and over. However, when it comes to delegate systems of election, it is completely a different ballgame altogether,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He cited previous NPP internal elections as examples of how polls can be misleading, referencing the party\u2019s 2014 and 2022 national delegates\u2019 congresses.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 2014, then-General Secretary Sir John was widely expected to retain his position but was defeated by Kwabena Agyei Agyapong in Tamale. Similarly, in 2022, then-General Secretary John Boadu was heavily favoured by opinion polls but was defeated by Justin Kodua Frimpong,\u201d he recalled.<\/p>\n

Mr Kyere-Duah explained that delegate elections are influenced by factors not captured by surveys, as delegates may be reluctant to reveal their true voting intentions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I want to stress here is that when it comes to delegate systems, it is very difficult to get a prediction right because people would not be honest to tell you where their vote is going because of what they are expecting in the delegates\u2019 election,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He further noted that last-minute developments can significantly alter the course of such contests, citing instances where a single statement at a conference changed what appeared to be a straightforward race.<\/p>\n

The Berekum West MP\u2019s comments come as the NPP prepares to elect its presidential candidate, a process attracting keen interest from political observers ahead of the 2028 general elections.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
