NPP reveals key factors that caused party’s 2020 votes to reduce in Ashanti Region
An executive of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) has said votes in the 2020 election dropped for the party in the Ashanti Region due in part to the banking sector clean-up and the clampdown on illegal mining activities (galamsey).
The Ashanti Regional Organiser of the NPP, Francis Adomako, told Kumasi-based Luv FM that the NPP saw at least a 4-percentage point reduction in the 2020 polls.
“Some of the small-scale miners accused the team of attacking them and nothing was done by the government and party to help them,” Francis Adomako is quoted in a report published on Myjoyonline.
