The poll also found that 10% of delegates remain undecided, while 9% declined to reveal their choice, leaving room for late shifts as the primaries approach.
Global Info Analytics surveyed 2,656 NPP delegates, with 2,560 completing all responses, across 263 constituencies between August 12 and 20, using computer-assisted telephone interviews. The poll carries a confidence level of 99% and a margin of error of ±2.44%.
While the numbers confirm Dr Bawumia’s dominant position, analysts caution that consolidating undecided delegates will be critical to sealing victory in the upcoming contest.
