A recent poll conducted by Global InfoAnalytics has revealed a substantial decline in voter support for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Greater Accra Region following the selection of Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh as the running mate to Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
The poll, conducted after Dr. Opoku Prempeh, popularly known as ‘NAPO,’ was nominated, showed a major decline in six major constituencies in Greater Accra, including Tema Central, Ablekuma West, Ablekuma North, Ayawaso Central, Ayawaso West Wuogon, and Ledzokuku.
According to the poll, 42% of NPP voters indicated they would not vote for the party due to NAPO’s nomination, while 49% of voters remained committed to voting for the party.
Mussa Dankwa, the Executive Director of Global InfoAnalytics, discussed the findings on Channel One TV’s ‘Citiuation Room,’ highlighting this as a challenge for the party and urging them to address it.
Moreover, among floating voters, who are crucial in determining election outcomes in Ghana, a significant 74% said they are less likely to vote for the NPP due to NAPO’s candidacy, with only 9% indicating they would still consider voting for the party.
“If you look at this, in Greater Accra, those who said they’ll be influenced to vote for the NPP, 49% of the NPP said they’ll vote for the party, 42% NPP voters said they’ll not be influenced in the Greater Accra.
“When it comes to the floating voters, 9% said they’ll be influenced and 74% said they’ll not be influenced, that is worrying. If you don’t make a good impression among the floating voters, you are done.”
