He also predicts that NPP presidential candidate Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia will lead the polls with 49.1% of the votes, compared to Mahama\u2019s 45.8%, potentially resulting in a runoff.<\/p>\n<p>Dankwah\u2019s own survey indicates a contrasting outcome, showing Mahama ahead with 51.9% of voter support, while Dr. Bawumia follows with 40.5%.
