The Chief Executive Office of the National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme (NEIP), Kofi Ofosu Nkansah, has expressed confidence that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) will secure the majority of parliamentary seats in the 2024 general elections.

According to Nkansah, the NPP’s chances have been bolstered by the introduction of fresh faces in constituencies where incumbent MPs were perceived as unpopular.

In a Facebook post on Sunday, September 8, he expressed his belief that the party’s decision to replace these MPs will strengthen its appeal among voters.

Kofi Nkansah pointed out that some of the outgoing MPs had lost favor with their constituents, leading to dissatisfaction within their respective areas.

By bringing in new candidates, he explained that the NPP has demonstrated its responsiveness to the concerns of the electorates.

The fresh faces, he argued, bring renewed energy and a stronger connection to the grassroots, which will work in the party’s favor during the elections.

Additionally, the NEIP boss emphasised that the NPP’s strategy of refreshing its candidate lineup aligns with the party’s commitment to rejuvenating its leadership and ensuring that its representatives reflect the will of the people.

"NPP is going to win the majority of seats in Parliament, partly because we have some fresh candidates to replace MPs who had become unpopular. You will be making a mistake if you use the 2020 Parliamentary results because some of the candidates have been changed," he posted.

He also noted that the new candidates are individuals with strong community ties and are better positioned to address the needs of their constituencies.

This, he asserted, will translate into increased support for the party at the parliamentary level.
