Political strategist Bernard Tutu-Boahene has shed light on evolving voter dynamics ahead of Ghana’s general elections, pointing to a surprising resurgence for centre-right parties.
Speaking on the Asaase Breakfast Show (ABS) on Friday (6 December), Tutu-Boahene delved into the dynamics between Ghana’s centre-left and centre-right ideologies, drawing on his extensive research.
Reflecting on his findings, he explained: “When I started my study, I realised that the centre-left, OK, people who wanted to vote for the centre-left ideology had already taken that decision.”
“And when you check the indices that they were taking, obviously, it was as a result of the economic complications that we were going through as a result of COVID.”
This steadfast loyalty among centre-left voters contrasted sharply with the disillusionment observed in the middle ground. Tutu-Boahene noted that “the middle ground for the centre-right was quite heavy and that explains apathy.”
However, using a model to track voter behaviour over time, Tutu-Boahene identified a key shift.
“I realised that as and when the months go by, the middle ground was just reducing and then there was some level of improvement in the intention bits of voters for the centre-right.”
His observations provide a glimpse into the delicate balance of Ghanaian politics, where ideology and economic realities intertwine to shape electoral outcomes.
