Poll shows Mahama leads Bawumia as voter dissatisfaction grows in Western region battlegrounds
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

A special poll conducted in five key constituencies in the Western Region by Global Info Analytics in Takoradi, Sekondi, Effia, Essikado-Ketan, and Kwesimintsim reveals widespread voter dissatisfaction with the country’s direction and strong disapproval of the president’s performance ahead of the 2024 general elections. The results suggest a volatile political landscape, with economic conditions driving voter decisions.

National Sentiment and Presidential Approval

The poll shows that 69% of voters believe Ghana is headed in the wrong direction, while only 15% feel the country is on the right track. Additionally, 68% of respondents disapprove of the president’s performance, with just 23% approving.

On personal well-being, 47% of voters say their standard of living has worsened in the last year, while 37% saw no change, and only 9% reported an improvement.

Party Manifestoes: Credibility in Question

When asked about the credibility of party manifestoes, 30% of voters favor the National Democratic Congress (NDC)’s proposals, while 22% support the New Patriotic Party (NPP)’s manifesto, and just 3% believe in the Movement for Change (M4C) plan. A notable 45% of voters had no opinion on the manifestoes. In Takoradi, however, 61% of voters favor the NDC’s “Resetting Ghana” manifesto, compared to 11% for the NPP’s “Bold Solutions for Jobs and Business.”

Voter Preferences: Mahama Leads

If elections were held today, former president John Dramani Mahama (JDM) would lead with 35.7% of the vote, followed by Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia (DMB) at 22.7%. Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen (AKK) and Nana Kwame Bediako (NKB) trail with 3.8% and 3.5%, respectively, while 12.3% remain undecided. Among committed voters, Mahama’s lead widens to 53%, followed by Bawumia at 34%.

Party Loyalty and Floating Voters

In terms of party loyalty, 3% of NPP voters intend to vote for Mahama, while 93% remain loyal to Bawumia. Among NDC voters, 98% plan to vote for Mahama. Floating voters, who are critical to the outcome, favor Mahama with 63% support, followed by 14% for Bawumia and 11% for Kyerematen.

Parliamentary Races: Close Contests and Upsets

The poll highlights key parliamentary races across the constituencies:

  • In Sekondi, Andrew Agyapa Mercer of the NPP holds a strong lead with 52%, but 87% of his supporters are open to changing their minds.
  • In Essikado-Ketan, Charles Bissue (NPP) leads with 44%, while Dr. Grace Ayensu-Danquah (NDC) follows closely with 36%.
  • The Kwesimintsim race remains highly competitive, with Prince Hamid Armah (NPP) leading with 33%, while Philip Fiifi Buckman (NDC) trails with 24% and independent Joe Mensah follows at 8%.

The Effia constituency is expected to flip to the NDC, with Abdul Majeed Nassam leading Isaac Boamah Nyarkoe (NPP) 73% to 14%.

Takoradi also seems set for a significant upset as NDC’s Frederick Faidoo leads incumbent MP Kwabena Otchere Darko-Mensah by 61% to 13%.

Methodology

The poll was conducted between August 25 and September 1, 2024, using Computer Assisted Personal Interviews (CAPI). A total of 2,381 respondents across the five constituencies were sampled, with a margin of error ranging from 1.92% to 4.5% and a 95% confidence level.

As the election draws near, the results suggest that economic issues and leadership dissatisfaction will be key determinants in the outcome of this pivotal Western Region vote.
