Private legal practitioner Martin Kpebu predicts the National Democratic Congress (NDC) will win the 2028 elections, cite historical voting trends and grow public dissatisfaction with the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP). Kpebu believes the NDC’s chances are high unless they “misbehave extremely”.
Kpebu attributes the NDC’s potential victory to increased civic awareness and accountability among political appointees. He notes that the NPP’s chances are slim, stating, “You can’t wipe out a 1.6 million vote deficit in one electoral cycle unless the NDC misbehaves extremely”.
Kpebu’s comments come amid calls for the NPP to reform ahead of the 2028 elections, including scrapping the Special Delegates Conference and expanding the electoral college.
Speaking in an interview on TV3 on Saturday, December 27, he said the magnitude of the NPP’s loss points to deep-seated public dissatisfaction that cannot be quickly undone.
“NPP cannot win the 2028 election, unless the NDC loots more than the NPP did,” he asserted.
His comments come at a time when the NPP is engaged in internal deliberations as it prepares for presidential primaries and attempts to reorganise following its defeat in the 2024 general elections.
Political analysts have attributed the party’s loss to factors including economic mismanagement, corruption, deteriorating living conditions and perceptions of arrogance while in government.
In the 2024 elections, the NPP’s presidential candidate, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, lost to President John Dramani Mahama.
