Former President John Dramani Mahama would become the next President of Ghana if elections were held today, a survey by the firm Global InfoAnalytics has found.
The survey said the former President would receive between 60% and 63% of the vote, depending on which New Patriotic Party (NPP) candidate he faces.
Global InfoAnalytics Ltd, is a research company based in Accra. The company describes itself as “the trusted foundation for decision making; we earn that trust through the application of sophisticated methodologies to the real-world problems of companies, political organisations and policy and strategic decision-makers.”
According to their October 2022 survey, Mahama would beat both Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and Alan Kyeremanten, if they were the chosen candidates for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), by significant margins.
Mahama polled 62% against 33% for Dr. Bawumia, whilst he polled 60% to 36% for Alan Kyeremanten.
The report read: “In the general elections, the poll shows Mahama (JDM) continues to lead his potential rivals from the NPP, Bawumia (DMB) and Alan Kyeremanten (AKK) by a significant margin if the elections were held today.
“The poll shows further that among voters who are likely to vote in the 2024 elections, JDM leads DMB 62% to 33%, representing a 29% lead. 6% of voters prefer to vote for someone else (SO). In the race between JDM and AKK, JDM leads AKK 60% to 36%, representing a 24% lead. 5% prefer to vote for SO”, excerpts of the survey read.
The report continued: “The poll also shows JDM regaining the Northern region after lagging behind in earlier polls. JDM continues to lead in the North East region, the home region of the Vice President, according to the poll.
Meanwhile, in the race for the NDC’s flagbearership, the report said John Dramani Mahama is ahead of all other contenders.
“He leads Dr. Kwabena Duffour (DKD) 71% to 19%. Hon. Kojo Bonsu, attracts 3% of the votes with someone else,7%. DKD’s improvement in the polls suggests that people who had earlier said they intended to vote for someone else in the July polls, opting for him instead”, the survey said.
The October 2022 report sampled views across the length and breadth of the country.
