Ato Forson leads Asiedu Nketia in NDC 2028 leadership race – Global InfoAnalytics poll

According to report by Dunkwatv on Monday 9, November 2026, Finance Minister Dr Cassiel Ato Forson has recorded the highest level of support among potential National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer contenders in the Ashanti and Eastern regions, according to the September 2026 national tracking poll conducted by Global InfoAnalytics.

The survey, which examined the preferences of respondents in the two regions ahead of the 2028 general elections, places Dr Ato Forson at the top of the list with 47 per cent support.

NDC National Chairman Johnson Asiedu Nketia follows with 28 per cent, while other potential contenders recorded varying levels of support in the poll.

According to the findings, Debrah and Opoku each secured 7 per cent, while former Minority Leader and current Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu recorded 6 per cent. Joshua Alabi and Eric Opoku each obtained 2 per cent, with Minister for Lands and Natural Resources Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah recording 1 per cent.

The results were shared by Global InfoAnalytics Executive Director, Musah Danquah, in a post on Twitter, formerly known as Twitter.

In a separate head-to-head assessment involving the two leading figures, Dr Ato Forson recorded 60 per cent support, compared with 40 per cent for Mr Asiedu Nketia.

The head-to-head results provide an additional breakdown of respondents’ preferences when the potential contest is limited to the Finance Minister and the NDC National Chairman.

The September 2026 survey offers an indication of how some NDC members and supporters in the Ashanti and Eastern regions view the potential candidates ahead of the party’s next flagbearer selection process.

However, the findings represent respondents’ preferences within the two regions and should not automatically be interpreted as a reflection of the views of the entire NDC membership or the national electorate.

With the 2028 general elections approaching, the potential contest to lead the governing party is expected to attract considerable attention as party stakeholders assess possible candidates and their political ambitions.

The poll adds to the ongoing discussion about the NDC’s future leadership and the possible personalities who could seek the party’s presidential nomination for the 2028 elections.
