Meanwhile a national opinion poll by Global Info Analytics says H.E. John Dramani Mahama is currently ahead of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the candidate for the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Mussa Dankwa, the Executive Director of Global InfoAnalytics, explained that the economy is the most significant factor influencing voter decisions for the upcoming 2024 elections.
He mentioned that if Ghanaians were satisfied with the state of the economy, they would likely support the NPP and Dr. Bawumia.
However, since many Ghanaians are experiencing economic difficulties, the NDC and John Mahama are leading in the polls.
In an interview with Accra based Ahotor FM in the first weel of August, monitored by Bole based Nkilgi fm, Mussa Dankwa stated that the Global InfoAnalytics poll accurately reflects the current situation in Ghana.
He cautioned Ghanaians against relying too heavily on internal polls conducted by political parties, as these are often biased and not always reliable.
Mussa Dankwa further noted that those who are dissatisfied with the economy are inclined to vote for John Mahama and the NDC, while those who believe the economy is doing well are likely to support Dr. Bawumia and the NPP.
He emphasized that John Mahama is currently the frontrunner for the 2024 elections due to the widespread economic hardships affecting many Ghanaians.
In conclusion, Mr. Dankwa highlighted that people across all regions of Ghana are facing economic challenges, which is why Mahama is leading in the Global InfoAnalytics poll.
