NPP Strongholds Deliver Surprising Verdict On Mahama’s Govt

According to a report by Ghanaian Citizen TV on Monday November 9, 2026, a new survey by Global InfoAnalytics has revealed that a majority of voters in Ghana’s Ashanti and Eastern Regions believe the country is moving in the right direction, with 55 per cent expressing the view that Ghana is on the right track.

The latest findings offer an insight into public sentiment in the two regions, which are traditionally regarded as important electoral strongholds of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP).

According to the poll, 55 per cent of respondents from the Ashanti and Eastern Regions believe Ghana is heading in the right direction. The findings suggest that more than half of the voters surveyed have a positive assessment of the country’s current direction.

The survey is particularly significant given the political importance of the two regions and their influence on the outcome of national elections.

The Ashanti Region, in particular, has historically been a major source of electoral support for the NPP, while the Eastern Region also plays an important role in determining the political balance across the country.

The findings could therefore generate considerable discussion among political stakeholders, especially as both the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the opposition NPP gradually position themselves ahead of the 2028 general elections.

Public perceptions about the direction of the economy, governance, employment opportunities, infrastructure development and the overall performance of government often play an important role in shaping voters’ opinions.

The 55 per cent figure indicates that a majority of those surveyed in the two regions currently hold a favourable view of Ghana’s direction.

However, the poll does not necessarily mean that all respondents support the government or its policies, as views about the country’s progress may differ across individual policy areas.

The Global InfoAnalytics survey provides another perspective on the political mood in the Ashanti and Eastern Regions, with its findings likely to feature prominently in discussions about public satisfaction and the political landscape ahead of the 2028 elections.

The remaining respondents’ views were not specified in the headline figures released, and the full survey details, including the sample size, fieldwork dates and methodology, would be necessary for a more comprehensive assessment of the findings.
