President-elect John Dramani Mahama has indicated that the 2024 electoral defeat of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) was the easiest to predict.

According to him, it was obvious from the onset that the political party had lost the election, and their belief that they would have won is an indication that they were not in tune with the reality on the ground.

To John Dramani Mahama, the New Patriotic Party may not have paid attention to the complaints of Ghanaians who were peeved by the various ills happening under the current government.

He explained that Bawumia's claims that the NPP was hopeful of winning the election is an indication that they were not in tune with the realities on the ground.

"It got to a point where democracy in the NPP was not what we've been used to and what we all know. It was obvious that they had become tone-deaf in terms of what was happening in the country.

"People's complaints and all that, I don't think that it penetrated because this was the easiest election to predict. They should have seen the loss coming.

"I saw Vice President Bawumia say they were disappointed because they had worked hard and thought they were going to win; I mean, it was obvious that they were going to lose this election. That meant that they were not in tune with the reality on the ground," he told Alan Kyerematen and his Alliance for Revolutionary Change.
