A recent Global InfoAnalytics poll indicates former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is leading the NPP presidential primaries with 57% support, ahead of Kennedy Agyapong at 28%.
Former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is projected to lead the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) presidential primaries with 57% support, according to a recent poll by Global InfoAnalytics. The survey, conducted between December 29, 2025, and January 23, 2026, involved 10,133 respondents across all 16 regions and 272 constituencies. Kennedy Agyapong follows with 28%, Dr. Bryan Acheampong at 13%, Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum at 2%, and Kwabena Agyepong at 0%.
Mussa Dankwah, Executive Director of Global InfoAnalytics, attributes Dr. Bawumia's lead to several factors, including voter demographics and candidate qualities. He noted that only 12% of delegates are under 34 years old, indicating a preference for experienced candidates. Additionally, 45% of delegates believe presenting a candidate for a second time benefits the party in the general election.
Favourability ratings also play a significant role, with Dr. Bawumia receiving a 93% favourability rating, followed by Dr. Bryan Acheampong at 86%, Engineer Kwabena Agyepong at 85%, Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum at 83%, and Kennedy Agyapong at 85%.
The NPP presidential primaries are scheduled for January 31, 2026.
