    Easter Region258,827
    Central Region231,055

    • If the entire votes the NDC got in Savannah, North East, Upper West and Upper East Regions were even to be added to the NPP’s votes in these regions, the total would have been 1,238,234, which means about 516,640  more votes would have been required to offset the total deficit of (Greater Accra, Ashanti, Eastern, Central and Western Regions combined). This underlines the magnitude of apathy, and votes lost in these key regions for the NPP.

    NOTE:

    • The gap between the NPP and the NDC is 1,714,179.
    • The NPP lost 1,754874 through voter apathy in the six regions in which it commands significant support.
