"I believe firmly we're going to add Dome-Kwabenya to the 27 seats we've chalked in Greater Accra to make it 28," the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Greater Accra Chair, Emmanuel Nii Ashie Moore, has said.

He spoke to the media at the Dome-Kwabenya collation centre on Sunday, December 8, 2024, a day after Ghana went to the polls.

"In 2020, we had 20 seats. As we speak now, our target and projections were 25 but we've added Ayawaso Central and Ayawaso West Wuogon. So we have 27 seats now." 

He underlined with 17 polling stations' results yet to be counted, the NDC's parliamentary candidate (PC), Mrs Elikplim Akurugu, was "leading" the Dome-Kwabenya contest with "more than 1,500 votes". 

He said the strategy "was hard work" as the NDC "did what we call 'top to bottom approach campaign'

"So we were not sitting in our cars or spending monies on huge billboards as our opponent did. 

"As a strategy, what we did was intensifying our door-to-door."

Additionally, Mr Ashie Moore noted the impact of the 24-hour economic policy proposed by NDC flagbearer John Dramani Mahama, which is "first-in-history".

"I believe the Ghanaian people bought into it, especially Greater Accra because Greater Accra holds every MDA's office, formal or informal. The industrial enclave is in Greater Accra. I think that's what made the magic [work] in Greater Accra," he expatiated. 

"It's just work, work, work. You saw some of us in the traffic, [among] market women, the GPRTU stations. I think this is what did the magic."

The Jean Mensa-led Electoral Commission (EC) is yet to declare official figures for the 2024 polls.
