The former Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Samuel Koku Sitsofe Anyidoho, has urged party members to dismiss a survey conducted by Executive Director of Global Info Analytics, Musa Danquah, which suggests that the party will emerge victorious in the December polls.
The opinion survey, conducted on May 31, 2024, across selected constituencies in the Greater Accra Region, highlighted challenges faced by the ruling party, traditionally strong in these areas, six months prior to the general election.
The poll revealed notable shifts in voting preferences. In constituencies like Okaikwei Central, Okaikwei South, Anyaa Sowutuom, and Trobu—where the NPP garnered an average of 62% of the vote in 2020—former President John Mahama now leads with 40.5%.
Vice President and New Patriotic Party (NPP) flag bearer Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia followed closely with 36%, while Nana Kwame Bediako of New Force and Alan Kyeremanten of Movement for Change trail with 1.8% and 1.7%, respectively.
Significantly, 10.4% of voters remain undecided, and 9.4% have declared they will abstain from voting.
Taking to the X platform Mr. Anyidoho, criticized the survey, alleging it was crafted to mislead and exploit the party for personal gain.
“John Mahana is busy cooling off in Russia enjoying while Greater Accra NDC is on fire . So if Musa Danquah lies to the NDC that JM will win G/A by 70%, they should know that he is just fooling them and chopping money freeeeee!!!!!!!,” he wrote.
