GLOBAL INFOANALYTICS POLL: BAWUMIA, ALAN, AND OTHERS ATTRIBUTED TO NPP’S 45% RESULTS
A recent poll conducted by Global InfoAnalytics has revealed that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) stands at a projected 45% voter preference in the upcoming 2024 general elections. The survey attributes this performance to the combined influence of Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, former Trade Minister Alan Kyerematen, and other prominent figures within the party.
The poll, which analyzed voter sentiments across various demographics, highlighted the unique contributions of these personalities to the party’s overall appeal. Dr. Bawumia’s emphasis on digital transformation and economic reforms continues to resonate with technocrats, young professionals, and a segment of the middle class. Meanwhile, Alan Kyerematen’s longstanding advocacy for industrialization and job creation has kept him a favorite among business owners and entrepreneurs, even after his departure from the party to contest as an independent candidate.
The data also reveals that other key figures, including regional party executives and Members of Parliament, have played significant roles in maintaining the NPP’s support base. Their consistent engagement with constituents has helped mitigate the effects of internal divisions that arose following Alan Kyerematen’s exit and other internal disagreements.
However, the poll also underscores challenges facing the NPP. The party’s 45% score suggests it may fall short of an outright majority, especially with opposition parties like the National Democratic Congress (NDC) gaining traction. The NDC, under John Dramani Mahama, is projected to secure 47% of the vote, creating a highly competitive race.
Additionally, Alan Kyerematen’s independent bid poses a potential threat to the NPP’s performance. With 5% of respondents expressing support for his candidacy, the former minister could split votes traditionally aligned with the NPP, especially in the Ashanti Region and other party strongholds.
Political analysts argue that the NPP must address internal divisions and rally its support base if it hopes to secure a victory in the 2024 elections. Strategies to appeal to floating voters and counter the growing influence of Alan Kyerematen and the NDC are critical.
As the election date draws closer, the poll highlights the importance of unity and strategic planning for the NPP. Whether the party can overcome these hurdles and reclaim the majority vote remains to be seen. For now, the 2024 race promises to be one of the most fiercely contested in Ghana’s history.
