Analysis of the data using net approval (Approved minus Disapproved) shows the biggest drops in JDM’s approval came from the North East region with -52% decline, followed by Volta, -44%, Ahafo, -37%, Bono, -22%, Western North, -21%, Oti, -19% and Western, -18%.
Ironically, as almost all the regions John Mahama won in the last election showed a dip except for the Northern region, Ashanti region shows significant improvement in his approval rating, rising by +21% net approval and Eastern region, +1%. The Northern region also shows +14% improvement in JDM’s net approval rating.
The revelation shows that while majority of voters in the regions NPP won in the 2024 are happy with John Mahama’s performance, the regions NDC won are perhaps in patient and are dissatisfied with him on a number of issues which I can only speculate using data from other part of the poll to point to how corruption cases are being handled by his administration, especially on ORAL and plea bargain discussions and allegations of deals been cut to let some accused persons get a lesser sentences if they return their loots.
JDM must tread carefully on ORAL and plea bargains.
