Political Analyst Mussa Dankwah Releases New Ashanti Region Polling Data

According to recent reports, Political analyst and pollster Mussa Dankwah has generated significant political discussion after sharing new polling data detailing voter preferences across Ghana’s Ashanti Region, with a specific focus on the Asante Akim North constituency.

Dankwah, widely known as “the data man,” published the findings on his official Facebook page to illustrate how various political figures are performing in the region. The survey highlights voter sentiment regarding key figures, including Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and former President John Dramani Mahama, alongside other notable political personalities such as Kennedy Agyapong and Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson.

While Dr. Bawumia maintains a commanding lead across most parts of the Ashanti Region, the numbers in Asante Akim North reflect a far tighter contest, with support fragmented among alternative candidates and independent interests.

Analyzing the constituency’s dynamics, Dankwah raised questions regarding Kwasi Kwarteng, former campaign spokesperson for Kennedy Agyapong. Dankwah suggested the data might offer a strategic opening for Kwarteng if current MP Hon. Ohene Kwame Frimpong does not seek re-election, though he stopped short of making a definitive forecast.

Underlining his reliance on empirical research, Dankwah accompanied his post with a lighthearted warning: “In God we trust; all others must bring data.” He emphasized that objective polling metrics tell an undeniable story, warning political actors that ignoring empirical numbers carries substantial electoral risk.

Concluding his assessment with a simple “Shalom,” Dankwah’s figures have triggered intense debate among political strategists and voters. As campaigning intensifies, the polling data provides a critical snapshot of shifting political alignments, emerging battlegrounds, and key constituency races within the Ashanti Region.
