Former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has taken a clear lead in the New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential primary next month, according to the latest National Tracking Poll by Global InfoAnalytics.
The poll, conducted between December 1 and December 21, 2025, shows Dr Bawumia leading with 56 per cent support among all voters, far ahead of former Assin Central Member of Parliament (MP), Kennedy Agyapong, who trails with 28 per cent.
Former Food and Agriculture Minister and MP for Abetifi, Dr Bryan Acheampong and former Education Minister and MP for Bosomtwe, Dr Yaw Osei-Adutwum are tied at 6 per cent each, while former NPP General Secretary Kwabena Agyapong polls 4 per cent.
According to the survey, support for the former Vice President is even more pronounced within the NPP’s core base.
Among NPP voters, 72 per cent back the former Vice President, reinforcing his dominance ahead of the party’s January 31 leadership poll.
Kennedy Agyapong follows with 19 per cent, while Dr Bryan Acheampong records 4 per cent, Dr Osei-Adutwum 3 per cent, and Kwabena Agyapong 1 per cent.
The findings indicate the race tilting in Dr Bawumia’s favour, with his closest challengers trailing by wide margins in voter preference.
The data also points to a fragmented opposition within the party, which could further entrench his advantage as the race enters its decisive phase.
The National Tracking Poll was conducted across all 16 regions, using a combination of web-based, telephone and face-to-face interviews, and carries a 99 per cent confidence level with a margin of error of ±1.1 per cent.
The NPP will hold a presidential primary on January 31, 2026, to elect a candidate to lead the party in the 2028 general election. Enditem
