Kwame Duncan, a former Central Regional Minister has predicted imminent defeat for the opposition National Democratic Congress, (NDC) in the 2024 general elections.

He contends that the party's internal conflicts and the perennial candidature of John Dramani Mahama are some key factors that would lead to NDC's defeat.

"Asiedu Nketiah, the way he defeated Ofosu Ampofo in the party's internal elections was worrying. Now defeat is staring him in the face. John Dramani Mahama has now become a perennial flagbearer of the NDC. Now he sees defeat staring him in the face. Those are the reasons they asked their people to embark on the nationwide protest against the Electoral Commision. The NDC knows that the demands for an independent audit of the provisional voters register would not be heeded to by the EC", he stated in an interview on Peace FM monitored by GhanaWeb on September 17,2024.

On Tuesday, September 17, 2024, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) embarked a nationwide demonstration to express their dissatisfaction with discrepancies in the provisional voters register.

The party has raised serious concerns about the credibility of the register, arguing that it could undermine the integrity of the 2024 general elections.

The protest, themed: "Enough is Enough," was led by the National Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, Members of Parliament of the NDC, and supporters of the NDC, who marched to oppose the Electoral Commission's (EC) refusal to allow a forensic audit of the voters register.

The demonstrations took place along approved routes across all 16 regions of the country.
