EASTERN FM 105.1 MHz reports that the latest Global InfoAnalytics survey has revealed that former Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, is maintaining a commanding lead over his rivals in the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) presidential race.
According to the poll, Dr. Bawumia enjoys 52% support nationally among NPP delegates, positioning him significantly ahead of his closest contender, Kennedy Agyapong, who recorded 17%, while Bryan Acheampong trails at 2%.
Regional Performance Highlights
The survey provides detailed insight into regional support patterns, indicating that Dr. Bawumia is outperforming his competitors in several key regions, including areas traditionally considered strongholds of his opponents.
- Central Region: Often regarded as a stronghold for Kennedy Agyapong, the Central Region results show Dr. Bawumia leading with 32% support, while Kennedy Agyapong trails with 25%. This demonstrates a notable shift in delegate sentiment, marking a second consecutive survey in which Dr. Bawumia has overtaken Agyapong in this region.
- Ashanti Region: In the influential Ashanti Region, Dr. Bawumia commands 54% of delegate support, with Kennedy Agyapong receiving 14%, further consolidating the former Vice President’s lead in a region crucial to NPP politics.
- Eastern Region: Dr. Bawumia continues to show dominance in the Eastern Region with 36% support, compared to Agyapong’s 13%, reinforcing his appeal across diverse constituencies.
- Greater Accra Region: As the region with the largest number of NPP delegates, Greater Accra is pivotal in shaping the party’s internal race. Here, Dr. Bawumia holds 51% support, significantly ahead of Kennedy Agyapong’s 16%, indicating strong urban backing.
Analysis and Implications
Political analysts observing the trends suggest that Dr. Bawumia’s consistent lead, even in areas traditionally associated with his rivals, reflects his growing acceptance among NPP delegates. The survey results also highlight a widening gap between Dr. Bawumia and Kennedy Agyapong, signaling potential challenges for other aspirants in consolidating support ahead of the party’s primaries.
This marks the second instance in which Global InfoAnalytics, led by Musa Dankwa, has reported Dr. Bawumia leading Kennedy Agyapong in his perceived stronghold of the Central Region, suggesting a durable trend rather than a one-off fluctuation.
Conclusion
The findings from the latest poll underscore Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s dominant position within the NPP presidential race, reflecting both broad national appeal and growing influence in key regions. As the party gears up for its internal selection processes, these survey results provide a significant indicator of delegate sentiment and potential outcomes.
