![NPP can win December polls but lose more seats in Parliament – Adomako Kissi](https://news.ghheadlines.com/images/default.png)
Member of Parliament for Anyaa-Sowutuom, Dr. Dickson Adomako Kissi, has suggested that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) can win the presidency with Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as flagbearer but lose seats in Parliament.
This comes after a report by Fitch Solutions predicted a strong chance of the NDC winning the December polls.
Dr. Adomako Kissi, speaking on the Big Issue on Channel One TV questioned the prediction, citing trends from other countries where ruling parties have lost seats but retained power.
Dr. Adomako Kissi emphasised that anything could happen between now and December 7.
He gave examples of France, where the sitting government lost 100 seats, but the president remained in charge, and South Africa, where the ANC lost seats but retained power.
Dr. Adomako Kissi stated that the NPP can retain power with Bawumia winning the presidency but losing seats in Parliament, potentially dropping from 138 to 102 seats.
He assured that the NPP will not take the prediction for granted and is working towards breaking the ‘8’.
“My key point today Is that for me, from a mathematical standpoint and based on trends in the rest of the world, France’s sitting government lost 100 seats, but Macron is still in charge. My key point here is that there’s even a possibility, and all of us can hear me out, that Bawumia wins and NPP numbers in Parliament drops, that possibility is very, very possible, considering how things have happened in another jurisdiction.”
“ANC literally lost many seats; they are still there. When you go to England, the reverse happened. That’s why I’m saying that who knows, our 138 may come to 102, and then we still retain power, that’s also a possibility.”
