A Researcher has named Ghana’s Northern part as currently one of the swing regions in Ghanaian politics.
Speaking to the press at Micklin Hotel in Kumasi of the Ashanti Region, the Researcher and Founder of Critical Thinkers Foundation, Ghana, Nana Kojo Acquah said, preciously, Northern Region was termed as one of the strong holds for the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).
But, according to the Leader of Critical Thinkers, the trend has changed as the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has won two consecutive times in the Northern region.
He said, research done by him ahead of the 2016 election proved the swinging of the region but it was argued negatively by some the people.
“Now the evidence has become clear that, the region is a swing region now in Ghana as far as election is concern.
The Northern is no more a ‘cool chop’ and world bank for the NDC during election looking at the current trend. NPP winning two consecutive times in the region means….. Northern region has become a swing hub”, Nana Kojo Acquah stressed.
The researcher has therefore called on Ghanaian politicians to delve deep into research to be familiar with the real concerns of the people saying researching is the best way to knowing the actual problems and solving them.
