With less than three weeks to Ghana’s general elections, the final national poll conducted by Global Info Analytics from November 11 to 16 indicates that John Dramani Mahama, the presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), maintains a significant lead with 51.9% support.
The poll places Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) candidate, in second position with 40.5% of voter support.
In a surprising shift, Nana Kwame Bediako secures third place with 4.7%, while former NPP member Alan Kyerematen follows with 2.1%. Other candidates collectively account for 0.7%.
Mahama on Track to Avoid Runoff
John Mahama’s steady lead puts him above the constitutional threshold of 50% required to avoid a runoff in Ghana’s presidential elections.
The poll suggests that the NDC candidate’s position has solidified as the elections approach, reflecting sustained support across key voter demographics.
In contrast, Dr. Bawumia has seen a dip in support, with some of his losses translating into gains for Nana Kwame Bediako and other candidates.
This development has added intrigue to the race, though Bawumia remains the clear runner-up.
Tight Race Dynamics
The poll reveals an evolving political landscape, with third-party candidates like Nana Kwame Bediako and Alan Kyerematen showing modest, but notable, support.
Analysts suggest that these shifts may reflect voter dissatisfaction with the dominant NPP-NDC political rivalry.
Global Info Analytics notes that the outcome of the upcoming elections could still depend on voter turnout, late-deciding voters, and the ability of the candidates to mobilize their base in the final days of campaigning.
Election Outlook
As the December 7 polls draw nearer, Mahama’s campaign appears poised to cross the finish line without a runoff, while the NPP faces an uphill battle to close the gap. The rising visibility of other candidates adds complexity to an already intense electoral contest.
Ghanaians now await the decisive vote that will determine the nation’s next leader, with the latest poll serving as a snapshot of the dynamic political environment.
