Bawumia widens gap in NPP leadership race — Global InfoAnalytics Poll

A new poll conducted by Global InfoAnalytics has placed Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia well ahead of his contenders in the race for leadership of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

The survey shows Dr. Bawumia commanding 57.4% of voter support, giving him a strong lead as the party heads toward its next internal elections.

His closest rival, Assin Central MP Kennedy Agyapong, trails with 29.3%, maintaining a significant but distant second place.

The remaining contenders are far behind in single digits. Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, the Education Minister, secured 6.0%, followed by Dr. Bryan Acheampong with 4.6%, and Kwabena Agyapong with 3.3%.

The figures underscore Bawumia’s entrenched position within the party’s base and hint at a consolidating support structure ahead of the NPP’s leadership primaries.

Kennedy Agyapong, however, continues to maintain a notable following, positioning himself as the main challenger in what is shaping up to be a two-horse race.

Political analysts say the poll results reflect Bawumia’s continued dominance after serving as Vice President for nearly a decade, as well as his influence among delegates and grassroots members.

Meanwhile, Agyapong’s numbers indicate that his outspoken style and appeal to a segment of the party faithful remain strong, even if the gap appears wide.

The Global InfoAnalytics poll offers an early glimpse into internal party dynamics, providing insight into the balance of power within the NPP as preparations for the next leadership contest intensify.
