The Executive Director and Head of Global Research at Global Info Analytics, Mussa Dankwah, who shared excerpts of the latest poll on X on August 29, 2025, indicated Baidoo had overtaken Asumadu because most of the constituents believe he is the person who can bring them development.
“NDC’s Baidoo overtakes NPP’s Asumadu three days before the crucial polls for the main opposition in Akwatia. Baidoo’s lead is propelled by voters who want development, and SHS and tertiary voters who preferred Baidoo by a larger margin.
“Using the committed model, which is likely to be the minimum vote for Baidoo, the NDC candidate leads with 53% and Asumadu of the NPP, 47%,” he wrote.
