In a pulse-pounding showdown that keeps the nation on edge, a recent NPP delegates poll reveals Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia's lead steadily expanding over the last few months in the race to secure the NPP presidential nomination. But don't count out the fiery Assin Central MP, Kennedy Agyapong, who's mounting a formidable charge.
This high-stakes survey, meticulously conducted by Global Info Analytics and encompassing over 4,300 NPP delegates, unfolds a fascinating tale of shifting tides. Bawumia's support has surged from 34.8% in June to a commanding 43.5% today, signalling a compelling trajectory.
Yet, what adds a dash of electrifying drama to the narrative is Agyapong's meteoric rise, going from 12.5% to a remarkable 23.5% in the same time frame. He's closing in with the velocity of a political comet, giving Bawumia's camp a run for its money.
As the November 4th primaries edge closer, the buzz around this captivating contest reaches a fever pitch. Bawumia might still be the frontrunner, but Agyapong's relentless charge sets the stage for a battle of titans that promises edge-of-your-seat political theatre.
The survey's trend analysis is akin to a thrilling race, with Agyapong consistently narrowing the gap on the long-time favourite, Bawumia. As each day brings us closer to the showdown, the intrigue deepens.
With 18.3% of delegates yet to make up their minds, the entire race is a captivating enigma, waiting to be unravelled. The upcoming week will see a frantic campaign drive, where the fate of two political heavyweights hangs in the balance.
The pulse of this election beats in the swing regions, particularly in Greater Accra and Western North, where Bawumia and Agyapong wage an intense battle. Here, the undecided delegates hold the key to the kingdom.
Bawumia's commanding lead in northern Ghana sets the stage for a captivating regional dynamic.
Meanwhile, Agyapong's juggernaut is just as unstoppable in central and western regions, making this contest a polarized clash of political wills.
As the NPP searches for the flagbearer who will challenge the NDC in the grand 2024 electoral spectacle, party insiders are bracing for a gruelling, no-holds-barred fight to the finish between Bawumia and Agyapong.
The pulse-pounding trends from the poll depict an increasingly competitive race that holds the nation in suspense.
And yet, even in this fierce battle, party members hope that once the primaries conclude, the NPP will unite behind its chosen presidential candidate as it faces an unprecedented quest to try a win a third consecutive term against all the odds.
Key Highlights from the Poll:
