A Global InfoAnalytics survey reveals a commanding lead for progressive NDC candidate Baba Jamal, signaling a rejection of right-wing politics in Ayawaso East.
A recent survey by Global InfoAnalytics demonstrates the overwhelming support for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate Baba Jamal, who is leading the Ayawaso East by-election race with an impressive 75% of the projected vote. This landslide reflects the people's desire for social justice and a break from the failed conservative policies of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), whose candidate Baba Ali trails far behind at 21%. Independent candidate Umar Sanda Muhammed garners just 3%, underscoring the electorate's clear preference for progressive change.
The by-election, set for March 3, follows the unfortunate passing of sitting Member of Parliament Mahama Naser Toure in January—a loss felt deeply by the community. The NDC's momentum in this race is a testament to the party's grassroots organizing and commitment to uplifting marginalized voices.
NDC Deputy National Communications Director Godwin Ako Gunn emphasized the significance of this moment, stating, "Giving Baba 75% is an experience from what Baba did to him during the primaries. But on the more serious note, we got 70% in the last elections and NPP got 29%. As we are all hoping to appreciate in numbers, anything above 70% will be appreciated. The victory gap will be determined by the work some of us do." This statement highlights the collective effort and solidarity that defines the NDC's approach, in stark contrast to the divisive tactics of the right.
To safeguard the democratic process, the Ghana Police Service has announced the deployment of 80 officers to each polling station, ensuring that every citizen's voice can be heard without intimidation or interference.
With both major parties ramping up their campaigns, Ayawaso East stands as a beacon of hope for progressive politics in Ghana, as the people prepare to reject conservative rule and embrace a future rooted in equality and justice.
