In terms of hostility when it comes to historical voter trends, the Volta Region appears to be the only region that constantly punishes the New Patriotic Party(NPP) after votes have been cast.
Electoral Commission�s statistics has it that during the 2012 general elections, there was higher voter turnout in the Volta Region to an extent that the only parliamentary seat won by the NPP four years ago in the Nkwanta North Constituency was lost, making the Volta region the only region in which the NPP has no MP.
But a former Member of Parliament (MP) for Asokwa constituency, Maxwell Kofi Jumah has predicted that as the 2016 general elections draws nigh, the New Patriotic Party is targeting about 2 million votes from region.
Though this might sound paradoxical, Mr. Jumah stated on OKAY FM that out of �hunger� and �regrets,� people in the region were banking all their hopes on the NPP to come and alleviate them from their pain.
