However, Bawumia enjoys a slight lead in this group.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe asked people \u2013 first-time voters and those who did not vote even though they were able to vote the last time. When you look at the first-time voters on their own, Bawumia has a slight edge, about 10% point over Mahama in the polls we\u2019re doing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut if you bring people together-those who didn\u2019t vote last time but want to vote now which includes older people and first-time voters, Bawumia\u2019s lead then shrinks to nothing,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Executive Director and Head of Global Research at Global InfoAnalytics, Musah Dankwah, has stated that none of their polls indicate the likelihood of a runoff in the upcoming December 7 general elections.
