Dr Mahamudu Bawumia is a former Vice President of Ghana
Former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has emerged as the clear frontrunner in the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) race to elect a flagbearer for the 2028 general elections, according to the latest National Tracking Poll by Global InfoAnalytics.
According to a report by myjoyonline.com on December 31, 2025, the survey, conducted between December 1 and December 21, 2025, shows Dr Bawumia commanding 56 per cent support among all voters, placing him 28 percentage points ahead of his closest challenger, former Assin Central MP Kennedy Agyapong, who secured 28 per cent.
Dr Bryan Acheampong and former Education Minister Dr Yaw Osei-Adutwum followed with six per cent each, while former party General Secretary Kwabena Agyapong recorded four per cent.

Dr Bawumia’s advantage becomes even more pronounced when the results are narrowed to the NPP’s voter base, according to the survey.
Among party supporters, 72 per cent expressed support for the former vice president, reinforcing his position as the leading contender ahead of the party’s internal election scheduled for January 31, 2026.
Within the same group, Agyapong polled 19 per cent, while Dr Acheampong garnered four per cent. Dr Osei-Adutwum and Kwabena Agyapong trailed with three per cent and one per cent respectively, indicating limited traction for the other aspirants within the party’s ranks.
Analysts say the wide margin separating Dr Bawumia from his competitors suggests the contest is increasingly tilting in his favour, particularly as support for rival candidates appears fragmented.

This trend, they note, could further consolidate his lead as campaigning enters its final stages, the survey added.
The Global InfoAnalytics poll was conducted nationwide across all 16 regions and employed a mixed methodology combining web-based surveys, telephone interviews, and face-to-face engagements.
The survey carries a 99 per cent confidence level with a margin of error of ±1.1 per cent.
