Bawumia vs Ato Forson: Global InfoAnalytics Releases Fresh 2028 Election Poll

Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has taken a narrow three-percentage-point lead over Finance Minister Dr Cassiel Ato Forson in a hypothetical 2028 presidential election contest across the Ashanti and Eastern regions, according to a September 2026 tracking poll conducted by Global InfoAnalytics.

The survey places the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer at 46 per cent, while Dr Ato Forson, who is being considered as a potential contender, records 43 per cent when former Assin Central MP Kennedy Agyapong is included in the hypothetical race.

Mr Agyapong, a former NPP presidential aspirant, attracts eight per cent support. Alan Kyerematen follows with two per cent, while Nana Kwame Bediako secures one per cent.

Other potential candidates collectively account for an additional one per cent.

Global InfoAnalytics notes that the three-percentage-point difference between Dr Bawumia and Dr Ato Forson falls within the survey’s margin of error, indicating that the two potential presidential contenders remain statistically close in the two regions.

However, the results shift when Mr Agyapong is removed from the hypothetical contest. Dr Bawumia’https://www.citinewsroom.com/2026/11/bawumia-leads-ato-forson-by-three-points-in-ashanti-eastern-poll-global-infoanalytics/s support increases to 48 per cent, while Dr Ato Forson’s rises to 45 per cent.

Mr Kyerematen’s share also increases from two to four per cent, while Mr Bediako’s support moves up from one to two per cent.

According to Global InfoAnalytics, the findings indicate that some of Mr Agyapong’s supporters may not necessarily switch their allegiance to Dr Bawumia if the former Assin Central legislator decides not to participate in the 2028 presidential election.

The September 2026 tracking poll assesses the electoral prospects of potential presidential candidates in the Ashanti and Eastern regions as political parties and their prospective contenders position themselves ahead of the 2028 general elections.
