Other parties who failed to win any seat in the Region are the Progressive Peoples’ Party, which contested in 24 out of the 34 constituencies; eight independent candidates; and the Peoples’ National Convention (PNC), which contested in six constituencies.  The rest are: the National Democratic Party and All Peoples’ Congress both contested in four constituencies each but failed to win any seat.

The Great Consolidated Peoples’ Party, Democratic Popular Party and United Progressive Party contested in only one constituency while the United Front Party, Independent People’s Party and Ghana Freedom Party did not file any candidate. The analysis formed part of GNA Tracks Election 2016 project, which sought to sensitise the electorate on the various issues raised by political parties, elections management body and other governance institutions.

The project also sought to ensure gender and social inclusion in national politics, provide voice for the youth, vulnerable groups, opinion leaders and the broader spectrum of the society, to achieve a peaceful poll on December 7.  It also aimed at creating a platform to dissect the manifestoes of all political parties and provide in-depth analysis of each thematic area to the electorate to enable them to make an informed judgment.
