Former Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has been tipped to be elected the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) with just a week to go, research outfit Global InfoAnalytics has reported.

According to Global InfoAnalytics, its latest committed voters model survey on the election showed Dr. Bawumia is in pole position, having inched closer to the victory mark, even with a significant chunk of voters still in the undecided bracket.

In a result published Friday afternoon, Global InfoAnalytics showed that Dr Bawumia has significantly improved from the last poll result to 48 per cent, while his closest contender, Kennedy Agyapong, has dropped from the last poll result to 25 per cent.

Dr. Bryan Acheampong is at 6 per cent, Dr. Osei Adutwum, 1 per cent, while Kwabena Agyapong is around 0 per cent.

Significantly, with Dr Bawumia just 2 per cent short of the required 50 per cent plus one victory mark, Global InfoAnalytics reported that as much as 21 per cent of delegates did not disclose their votes.

According to the polls, Dr. Bawumia requires just 2 per cent out of the 21 per cent voters who will not disclose their votes.

The committed voters model also showed that Dr Bawumia had taken a commanding lead in 14 out of the 16 regions, with the exception being the Central and Volta Regions.

With just a week to the election, Global InfoAnalytics announced it will soon publish its final outcome of the NPP primaries using its predictive model.
