During the general elections in 2016 in Ghana, the NPP who had been in opposition for 8 years led by Nana Addo Danquah Akuffo Addo won a whooping victory against the NDC party who was then in power.

The results saw the NPP amassing 53.56% of the general votes as against 44.69% of the NDC. This brought a huge difference of almost one million votes.

Ghanaians by then had had a full taste of the NDC government and decided to pull them out for a change of power hence resulting in the huge margin.

With barely six months down the line for Ghana to go to another general election, facts gathered shows that the NPP government who won power in 2016 with a vast margin might not see it being manifested on December 7, 2020, hence capable of losing.

The party which pulled every tom, dick and hurry in seeing their victory are now in a state of disunity in different forms.

The numerous disqualification of parliamentary aspirants for the upcoming primaries has brought a distaste between the National Executive Council (NEC) and that of the aspirants and their supporters.

More chaos has been seen across the length and breadth of the country in slamming against the decision of the NPP NEC to disallow some party faithful from contesting a selected incumbent MPs in different constituencies.

Some delegates and other party supporters, hold the view that NPP NEC is imposing on them and as well curtailing the right of some party members who have the zeal and what it takes to contest in the primaries slated to take off on Saturday, June 20th.

This has gone a long way to ignite the anger of some party members who have vowed not to cast their votes for the ruling party.

Some also through the disqualification of their desired parliamentary aspirant have vandalized and burnt party properties to register their displeasure against the party leaders whom they suspect of a foul play.

In the wake of time, some delegates have also chosen a different dimension to showcase their disapprobation by uttering profanity against their leaders through calling on deities to judge between them and the NPP NEC.

Another reason as to why the NPP government might not maintain their seat in government is their failed unprecedented promises.

NPP who promised to reduce taxes at the country's port and harbour and other cooperate taxes have not been achieved.

Proper managing of the economy by stabilizing the Ghana cedi against the US dollar has not seen the day of light. Other failed promises are; one village one dam (1V1D), one constituency $1 million, provision of toilet facilities within every village across the country and other related promises that could elevate the burdens of Ghanaians had not been accomplished.

Civilians brutalities by the security personnel without the operation of the full rigorous of the law. Cases of such brutalities is the bye-election that took place at Ayawaso West-Wuogon Constituency. During the bye-election shots were fired by security operatives which injured civilians and others who were been assaulted. Findings from the Emile Short Commission amounted to nothing at the end of the day.

In addition to the above reasons is the fight against illegal mining popularly known as "galamsey". In the course of the NPP relentless effort to battle the galamsey menace, some party leaders were equally fingered to be propagating the loss of the fight. Missing of ceased excavators came to be an altercation in the country.

Corruption and bribery scandals which have also been on the rise in the NPP government is a major factor that can send them to opposition once again.

Another heartbreaking reason why the NPP might lose 2020 general elections is the case pertaining to the death of the 3 missing Takoradi girls in 2019. The failure of Ghana's security apparatus in searching and bringing back the girls, sparking with empty promises is a major factor that can pertain to NPP losing the general elections this year.

Last but not least is the growing discrepancy of mistrust in the minds of Ghanaians against the NPP government. Many Ghanaians seem to have lost trust and hope in the Nana Addo led administration, to lead the country to the promised land.

Many Ghanaians who championed the cause for a new change of government are not seeing the reflection and the zeal of the party that were been used to claim power way back in 2016.

Thou, these might be tangible reasons for the party to lose power but the sole decision only lies in the hands of Ghanaians to decide the fate of the NPP party come December 7, 2020.
