The Outcomes International latest report on Ten (10) swing constituencies has revealed that Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has an edge over the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), former President John Dramani Mahama.

According to the survey which was conducted for 977 respondents from ten key swing constituencies in Greater Accra, Central, and Bono regions from 10th to 25th February 2024, the overall performance of each of the leading candidates shows that Dr. Bawumia (43.5%) has a little edge over Mr. Mahama (42.1%).

However, the poll shows that 6.9% of the respondents will vote for other candidates while 7.4% were undecided at the time of the polling.

"From the survey report, there has been a close contest between the two leading candidates: Bawumia and Mahama. Whereas former President Mahama wins in Ablekuma Central, Adentan, Ledzokuku and Awutu Senya West; Dr. Bawumia wins in La Dadekotopon, Cape Coast North, Twifo-Atti Morkwa, Dormaa West and Jaman North," the report said.

Previous polls had put John Mahama in the lead.

But as the election nears, Dr Bawumia appears to be making great strides in closing the gap especially after unveiling a blueprint of his vision for Ghana.

The campaign is expected to get even more heated as the two leading contenders seek to secure more ground and win the 2024 General Elections.

Meanwhile, a similar survey conducted by two renowned research outfits – the Centre for Sustainable African Development Initiatives (C-SADI), UK and The Outcomes International, Ghana - on the possible outcome of the flagbearership race of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) predicted straight win for Dr. Bawumia for the two polls in August 27 and November 4 last year.
