Mussa Dankwah, the Executive Director of Global InfoAnalytics, has shed more light on their polls, which revealed that the governing NDC party affiliation in the Ashanti Region drops from 30% to 18%.
According to Mussa Dankwah, the Global Info Analytics poll was conducted between March and June.
Speaking in a video shared on TikTok, Mussa Dankwah explained, “Just a few clarifications on the data we put out there yesterday regarding the Ashanti Region party affiliation changes between March and June.
The number of people who openly state they support the NDC has declined from 30 per cent to 18 per cent, which is a drop of about 12 per cent.
The question is, where did the 12 per cent go? Did it go to the NPP? The answer is no. 3 per cent of the 12 per cent went to the NPP, and 2 per cent of that 12 per cent went to other political parties. But the remaining percentage, which is about 6 to 7 per cent, went to undisclosed.
It simply means that those who were openly saying they are NDC have moved into I will not tell you. My party I belong to. There is no political party called undisclosed; we have the NPP and the NDC, floating voters, and we have the other political parties.
The number of floating voters did not change in the period, the same 23 per cent, NPP moved from 34 per cent to 37 per cent, that is about a 3 per cent increase.
The question is, the 7 per cent, are they still NDC, and they are not disclosing, or they were NPP, and they jumped to become NDC, and now they have moved to undisclosed.
What will be fascinating is to see whether the drop in the NDC support base in the Ashanti region from 30 to 18 per cent has affected the chances of their candidate against Bawumia in the 2028 election, based on the data we have from March to June.
We have the numbers, but it is not time to reveal them yet”.
In other news, Mussa Dankwah has refuted claims that his polls are causing the instability within the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
According to Mussa Dankwah, the ruling NDC should rather be thanking him as his polls have rather sanitised the race by providing aspirants with a realistic assessment of their chances.
Mussa Dankwah cited the New Patriotic Party’s 2007 presidential primary as an example which had 17 candidates, highlighting that credible polling data helps potential candidates gauge both public and delegate sentiment.
Speaking on the matter in a video sighted on X, Mussa Dankwah explained, “I’ve had calls from people telling me all sorts of things. Look, let me tell you, if nothing at all, the NDC should be thanking me for helping sanitise the race coming,” he said.
“Let’s remember in 2007, there was no polling in this country and every aspirant, everybody who thought he had a chance, was contesting to run NPP.
“What happened? We had 17 candidates thinking that they could win. And up to today, the party is paying for that price.”
Mussa Dankwah added, “NDC must look beyond just the polls and understand that what we are doing is helping those who may have ambition but have no chance to reconsider their options and avoid overcrowding the race.”
“One thing, if nothing at all, they should give us credit for doing that because some people have come to us, some people who thought they had chances have come to us, and they’ve done private polling, and the poll has indicated that they are not viable and they have shelved their ambition.
“Thanks to us. They are happy they have not allowed themselves to be deceived by any media person saying you are on the ground.”
His comments come at a time when reports coming in alleged that there is growing, intense friction among President John Dramani Mahama’s cabinet ministers, Ato Forson and Eric Opoku.
