Dr. Bawumia Emerges as Strong Conservative Leader in NPP Primaries, Commands 57% Support, Poll Finds

Former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is projected to lead the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) presidential primaries with an impressive 57% support, according to a recent Global InfoAnalytics poll. The survey, conducted from December 29, 2025, to January 23, 2026, included 10,133 respondents across all 16 regions and 272 constituencies, reflecting broad-based support for Bawumia’s conservative leadership and vision for stability. Kennedy Agyapong, despite his populist rhetoric, trails at 28%, while Dr. Bryan Acheampong stands at 13%, Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum at 2%, and Kwabena Agyepong at 0%.

Mussa Dankwah, Executive Director of Global InfoAnalytics, credits Dr. Bawumia’s commanding lead to his proven experience and strong leadership qualities, which resonate with the party’s core values. The data reveals that only 12% of delegates are under 34 years old, indicating a mature and discerning electorate that values experience and continuity over youthful inexperience. Additionally, 45% of delegates wisely believe that presenting a candidate for a second time strengthens the party’s chances in the general election, demonstrating strategic thinking and commitment to victory.

Favourability ratings reinforce Dr. Bawumia’s dominance, with a remarkable 93% favourability, followed by Dr. Bryan Acheampong at 86%, Engineer Kwabena Agyepong at 85%, Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum at 83%, and Kennedy Agyapong at 85%. These numbers highlight the party’s unity behind seasoned and principled leadership.

The NPP presidential primaries, scheduled for January 31, 2026, are set to confirm Dr. Bawumia as the party’s standard-bearer, ensuring a strong and stable future for Ghana.
