A new survey conducted on the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) presidential primary has revealed that the former Assin Central MP, Kennedy Agyapong, has taken the lead in the NPP’s presidential primaries.
The survey conducted by researcher Dr Evans Duah was unveiled at a press conference at the British Council in Accra on Monday, October 20, 2025.
The survey highlighted that Ken Agyapong has widened his lead over his main contender, Dr Bawumia.
Part of the survey revealed, “The September–October 2025 results confirm a consolidation of Kennedy Ohene Agyapong’s (KOA) lead and a gradual decline in Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s (DMB) national share.
KOA’s growth from approximately 41% in August to 44.11% (worst-case) and 53.80% (best-case) in October 2025 represents a critical phase shift. He is no longer only leading but also sustaining that lead across multiple regions”.
The survey report revealed Ken Agyapong’s support base remained strongest across the southern belt, particularly in the Central, Greater Accra, Ashanti, Bono, Ahafo, Volta, and Western regions.
The results showed Kennedy Agyapong securing between 44.11% and 53.80% of support under worst and best-case projections, respectively.
Dr Bawumia, who served as Vice President of Ghana and led the NPP into the 2024 general elections, maintained second place with strong support from the northern regions — North East, Northern, Savannah, Upper East, and Upper West — the findings suggest limited growth in his appeal beyond those areas.
“Conversely, DMB’s share has stabilised within a narrower range (39.51% to 32.21%), reflecting a steady but constrained base. This stagnation signals that while his northern bloc remains intact, his campaign has struggled to make inroads in the south despite increased visibility and endorsements”, it added.
The survey also detailed Dr Bryan Acheampong, Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum, and Kwabena Agyei Agyapong continue to trail.
“Bryan Acheampong (BA) has gained marginally, moving from 6.28 % to 8.27 %, demonstrating resilience within the Eastern Region and limited traction in the Greater Accra periphery. Both Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum (YOA) and Ing Kwabena Agyei Agyapong (KAA) maintain symbolic relevance, appealing to delegates through niche credibility rather than broad structural reach”, the report added.
However, the Global Info Analytics, some months ago, revealed that 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.
