New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful, Kwabena Agyepong says he remains unperturbed about not being considered a front runner in the party flagbearer race.
While launching his 2024 campaign at the Silicon Production House at Tesano, Mr Agyepong noted that he is poised for victory irrespective of the assertions of individuals and projections made by relevant authorities.
“Underdogs win all the time, it happens so don’t worry that I’m not seen as front runner,” he said.
The latest July 2023 national poll conducted by Global InfoAnalytics, Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has taken a 3% lead among all voters to emerge as the preferred candidate for the NPP in the 2024 election following the launch of his campaign.
The poll indicates that 36% of voters prefer Dr. Bawumia, while 33% prefer Alan Kwadwo Kyeremanten (AKK) and 25% prefer Kennedy Ohene Agyapong (KOA).
Among NPP voters, Dr. Bawumia leads with approximately 50%, followed by Mr. Kyerematen with 33% and Mr. Agyapong with 16% of the vote.
In the event of a runoff among NPP voters, Dr. Bawumia leads Mr. Kyerematen by 55% to 45%. However, among all voters, Mr. Kyerematen leads Dr. Bawumia by 54% to 46%.
Despite this projection, Mr Kwabena Agyepong believes his plan to usher Ghanaians into a new era where there is a downsized government, law enforcement, a vibrant public sector, among others will win the votes of electorates.
