Mussa Dankwa, the Executive Director of Global InfoAnalytics, has said Kennedy Agyapong and other contenders face a daunting task to catch up with Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.
According to Mussa Dankwa, it is still not over, but it is highly unlikely that every undecided voter will go to one candidate.
He highlighted that Dr Bawumia’s advantage will be difficult to overturn.
Speaking on Citi FM’s Eyewitness News on Monday, September 29, Mussa Dankwa stated, “It is still not over. I won’t say it is over, but if you look at where the leading candidate is, it is highly unlikely that every undecided voter will go to one candidate”.
“We believe that Kennedy has to do a lot more to bring Dr Bawumia down, or his other competitors should do a lot more in order to drag Dr Bawumia from where he is,” he added.
Mussa Dankwa’s remarks come following a latest poll by the Global Info Analytics, which reveals Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the former Vice President, has taken a commanding lead in the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) presidential primaries.
The poll results published on social media platforms by the Global Info Analytics revealed that Dr Bawumia secured 47 per cent of delegate support and is the clear front-runner ahead of the NPP’s primaries.
Dr Bawumia continues to enjoy the confidence of nearly half of the delegates surveyed.
Kennedy Agyapong, the former Assin Central legislator, emerged second with 17 per cent of delegates’ support.
Dr Bryan Acheampong secured only 3 per cent of delegates’ votes, while Dr Yaw Adutwum and Ing Kwabena Agyapong secured 1 per cent of delegates’ votes respectively.
However, the poll revealed that a significant number of delegates, 27 per cent, remain undecided.
Also, the poll revealed 57 per cent of Ghanaians prefer former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia to lead the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) into the next general election.
Meanwhile, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has said his team are not taking anything for granted.
Speaking to journalists after his vetting, Dr Bawumia emphasised that they are going to campaign to sell their ideas and sell the NPP to secure his bid as presidential candidate of the NPP.
Dr Bawumia further expressed satisfaction with his vetting and hopes the committee is satisfied with his answers.
The NPP aspirant stated, “We have had very fruitful discussions. They have asked many questions, and I have answered those questions. So I am very satisfied with my vetting, and I pray that everything is okay. I hope the committee is as satisfied as I am”.
“I want to thank the rank and file of this party, and I think that from vetting we are heading straight into the country to campaign,” he noted.
Dr Bawumia added, “We are not taking anything for granted. We have to campaign, sell our ideas and sell the NPP so that we can secure this nomination and proceed for the 2028 election”.
