A latest poll by Global InfoAnalytics indicates that President John Dramani Mahama would secure an even larger victory if the 2024 general election were to be re-run.
According to the findings released on December 31, 62 percent of respondents said they would vote for President Mahama, while 31 percent would support Dr Mahamudu Bawumia. Alan Kyerematen and Nana Kwame Bediako each polled 2 percent, with other candidates accounting for 3 percent.
The poll suggests that Dr Bawumia could win the Northern Region but would lose the Eastern Region to President Mahama. It also indicates some cross-party voting, with 11 percent of New Patriotic Party supporters saying they would vote for President Mahama, while 4 percent of National Democratic Congress supporters would back Dr Bawumia.
On the race to lead the NPP ahead of the 2028 elections, the poll shows Dr Bawumia as the preferred choice overall with 56 percent support. He is followed by Kennedy Agyapong with 28 percent, Bryan Acheampong with 6 percent, Dr Yaw Osei-Adutwum with 6 percent, and Kwabena Agyapong with 4 percent. Among declared NPP supporters, Dr Bawumia’s lead widens to 72 percent, while Kennedy Agyapong polls 19 percent. Bryan Acheampong attracts 4 percent, Dr Osei-Adutwum 3 percent, and Kwabena Agyapong 1 percent.
The poll also assessed the race to succeed President Mahama in 2029 and shows a closely contested three-horse race. Haruna Iddrisu leads with 26 percent, down from 29 percent recorded in October 2025. Finance Minister Dr Ato Forson follows closely with 23 percent, up from 18 percent, while NDC Chairman Johnson Asiedu Nketia is third with 22 percent, down from 24 percent. Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang places fourth with 11 percent, followed by Julius Debrah with 7 percent, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa with 6 percent, Professor Joshua Alabi with 2 percent, and Eric Opoku with 2 percent.
However, in a scenario where Professor Opoku-Agyemang, Haruna Iddrisu, Julius Debrah, and Okudzeto Ablakwa do not contest, the poll shows Dr Ato Forson taking a clear lead with 48 percent. Asiedu Nketia follows with 41 percent, while Joshua Alabi polls 6 percent and Eric Opoku records 5 percent.
