In a poll conducted by Outcomes International Ghana and the Center for Sustainable African Development Initiatives (C-SADI) UK, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia was predicted to win the upcoming special delegates elections by a landslide.
The survey predicts that the Vice President will prevail in the elections by a margin of 72%.
Following Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia are Alan Kyeremanten (7.7%), Ken Agyapong (4.3%), Kwabena Agyepong (1.8%), and Dr. Owusu Akoto (0.6%). The combined votes for the remaining 5 candidates total 1.3%, with 11.7% of voters still undecided.
Using an estimated 300 NPP special delegates as the target demographic of the 961 electors in the electoral college, the survey was conducted in all 16 regions of the nation.
Outcomes International Ghana and Centre for Sustainable African Development Initiatives (C-SADI) UK collaborated to conduct a survey to identify the top 5 candidates most likely to advance to the November 4, 2023, NPP Presidential Primaries based on the results of the campaigns of the various candidates in the NPP Special Delegates election.
The study also investigated additional socio-demographic elements that could affect the outcome of the election on August 26. For instance, how ethnicity, geography, and religion affect candidates’ chances of being successful as well as the criteria used by delegates to judge a candidate’s suitability.
To lower the cost of the survey’s operation and provide a more accurate representation of the nation, the study used multistage probability proportional to size sampling (PPS) with implicit stratification.
The majority of the data was collected using CATI (computer-assisted telephone interviewing) technology.
In a related news, Rt. Rev. Prof. Obiri Yeboah Mante, the 18th Moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana (PCG), has described Vice President Mahamadu Bawumia as a leader who symbolizes religious unity and peaceful coexistence; vital qualities needed for development of the country.
Prof. Mante, mostly known as J.O.Y Mante said Dr. Bawumia can be best described as a “Muslim Christian” and an icon of religious unity.
