“This is a Second Independence for Ghana” – Brogya Genfi on NDC’s Historic 2024 Election Victory
Genfi claims Mahama's landslide victory is a decisive rejection of Akufo-Addo's leadership and a new dawn for Ghana's political landscape.
- John Mahama’s 56.55% win marks the largest margin in Ghana’s presidential history
- NDC’s effective strategy countered NPP’s regional tactics and alleged rigging efforts
- Genfi asserts the election was a broad rejection of President Akufo-Addo’s leadership and his vice, Bawumia
Brogya Genfi, the NDC Deputy Director of Special Duties, has boldly described the opposition party’s decisive win in the December 7 general election as a “second independence” for Ghana.
Speaking on Lawson TV/Radio Ghana Se Sen Morning Show, Genfi highlighted that John Mahama secured 6,382,397 votes (56.55%), surpassing Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, who earned 4,657,304 votes (41.61%), marking a historic victory with a margin of 1.7 million votes.
“Mahama’s victory is monumental. No presidential candidate has ever won with such a margin before,” Genfi stated. He credited the NDC’s strategic approach in matching the NPP’s tactics, including their efforts in the Ashanti Region, where they contested alleged rigging.
He stated, “There were many things that didn’t go well. Mahama now has four years either to change the perceptions some Ghanaians hold about him or to confirm them.”
He added that Mahama’s return is an opportunity to demonstrate to Ghanaians that he was the president they should not have voted out.
Genfi also pointed to the election as not just a rejection of Bawumia but a broader vote of no confidence in President Akufo-Addo, citing widespread hardship across the nation. “Even NPP supporters felt the effects of Akufo-Addo’s leadership. For the future of the NPP, it was in their best interest to move on from Akufo-Addo and Bawumia.”
He further labeled Bawumia as the “worst NPP presidential candidate in history” and emphasized that the NDC has never faced such strong opposition, even during their worst election losses.
