Bawumia Leads Ato Forson 46% To 43% In 2028 Poll – Global InfoAnalytics

According to a report by MyJoyOnline on November 10, 2026, a September 2026 tracking poll conducted by Global InfoAnalytics has placed former Vice President and New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, ahead of Finance Minister Dr Cassiel Ato Forson in a hypothetical 2028 presidential election contest in the Ashanti and Eastern regions.

The survey indicates that Dr Bawumia has secured 46 per cent of voter support, compared with 43 per cent for Dr Ato Forson. The findings suggest a closely contested political race between the two potential candidates as political attention gradually shifts towards the 2028 general elections.

Former Assin Central Member of Parliament Kennedy Agyapong also features in the survey, recording eight per cent support. Former Trade Minister Alan Kyerematen receives two per cent, while Nana Kwame Bediako obtains one per cent. Other potential candidates collectively account for another one per cent.

However, Global InfoAnalytics has explained that the three-percentage-point difference between Dr Bawumia and Dr Ato Forson falls within the poll’s margin of error. This means neither candidate has established a statistically significant lead, placing the two politicians almost at the same level of support in the regions surveyed.

The research organisation also examined another possible electoral scenario in which Kennedy Agyapong is excluded from the contest. Under this arrangement, Dr Bawumia’s support increases to 48 per cent, while Dr Ato Forson’s rises to 45 per cent. Mr Kyerematen records four per cent, with Mr Bediako receiving two per cent.

According to Global InfoAnalytics, the findings indicate that Kennedy Agyapong’s supporters may not necessarily transfer their votes to Dr Bawumia if he does not participate in the 2028 presidential election. The survey provides an indication of voter preferences in the Ashanti and Eastern regions, although the figures represent hypothetical matchups rather than actual election results.
