Meanwhile, according to the most recent Global Info Analytics Survey, Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia will receive the majority of votes in as many as 13 of the 16 regions in the contest to lead the New Patriotic Party as flagbearer.
Additionally, he shares eighty percent of the votes in the Oti Region with Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, a businessman and unconventional politician who emerges victorious in the Ashanti and Central regions.
And the Vice President puts some distance between himself and his opponents, including a near-clean sweep of the votes in the North East region when he garners 90%, with the remaining 10% representing those who have not decided who to vote for (6%) or will not disclose their choices (4%).
This is in addition to the Western region, where the two front runners came dangerously close to splitting the votes (31% for Bawumia and 29% for Agyapong).
The NPP goes to polls on Saturday, November 4 to elect a presidential candidate for 2024 general elections.
