Bawumia leads 2028 race with 49% – Global InfoAnalytics

byMavis FanteviNovember 9, 20260 A September 2026 tracking poll by Global InfoAnalytics, focused on the Ashanti and Eastern Regions, has put NPP presidential candidate Dr Mahamudu Bawumia ahead of NDC Chairman Johnson Asiedu Nketia and former NPP presidential candidate Kennedy Agyapong in a potential 2028 presidential race.

According to the poll, Dr Bawumia leads with 49%, followed by Asiedu Nketia with 38% and Kennedy Agyapong with 7%.

Alan Kyerematen records 2%, while Nana Kwame Bediako and other candidates secure 1% and 2% respectively.However, the poll produces a different outcome when Kennedy Agyapong is removed from the contest.

In that scenario, Dr Bawumia’s lead increases to 50%, while Asiedu Nketia rises to 40%.Alan Kyerematen also improves significantly to 6%, with Nana Bediako and other candidates recording 2% each.

The more significant finding for the NPP, however, concerns the destination of Kennedy Agyapong’s votes if he does not contest the 2028 election.

The Global InfoAnalytics figures show that only 10% of Kennedy Agyapong’s supporters would move to Dr Bawumia. Asiedu Nketia would attract 24%, while Alan Kyerematen would capture the largest share at 51%. Nana Bediako would receive the remaining 17%.

The figures mean that Dr Bawumia would retain only a small portion of Kennedy’s 7% support, despite the poll being conducted in the Ashanti and Eastern Regions—areas widely regarded as key NPP strongholds.

The findings could therefore raise concerns within the NPP about its ability to consolidate Kennedy Agyapong’s support base ahead of 2028.

A significant majority of his supporters, according to the poll, could move away from the NPP candidate if Kennedy is not on the ballot.
