We Target 20 Parliamentary Seats in Greater Accra - NPP

Ishmael Ashietey, the Chairman of the New Patriotic Party, Greater Accra revealed to Citi News that his party targets twenty seats in Greater Accra.



Others believe their move is related to the myth in Ghana which suggests that any party capable of winning majority[many] seats in the Greater Accra Region becomes the ultimate winner in the Presidential election. At the moment, NPP has fourteen seats out of thirty-four seats in the Greater Accra region.



Below is the information that was disclosed to Citi news by Ishmael Ashietey[NPP Chairman, Greater Accra].



“In 2012, we predicted winning 18 parliamentary seats and then 65% of the presidential votes. When Nana Addo went to court, we also took four constituencies to court that we believe the elections were stolen at those constituencies. We won 14 constituencies without those four.


We decided to withdraw our case from the court. This time, we intend to win a minimum of 20 parliamentary seats and then 60% votes for the presidential slot. ” Ishmael Ashietey revealed.



He concluded that the NPP also targets nine seats in Upper East Region to boost their chance of winning the election since they can boast of only two seats in that region. There are fifteen seats in the Upper East!
