Asiedu Nketia and Ato Forson in dead heat for NDC leadership ahead of 2028 - Poll

Johnson Asiedu Nketia and Dr Cassiel Ato Baah Forson are in a close contest for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) leadership ahead of the 2028 general elections, according to a new poll by GlobalInfo Analytics released on July 27. The survey showed both potential candidates tied at 31 per cent among voters as the preferred choice to lead the NDC in 2028.

Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu follows with 15 per cent support, while Vice President Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang received 9 per cent. Chief of Staff Julius Debrah polled 8 per cent, with Agriculture Minister Eric Opoku and Prof. Joshua Alabi each recording 2 per cent. The survey also projected possible outcomes for the 2028 presidential election, with Dr Ato Forson emerging as the frontrunner in a hypothetical contest, securing 57.5 per cent of the votes against Dr Mahamudu Bawumia (35.3 per cent), Kennedy Agyapong (4.3 per cent), Nana Kwame Bediako (0.6 per cent), and Alan Kyeremanten (0.5 per cent). In a scenario where Johnson Asiedu Nketia replaces Dr Ato Forson as the NDC candidate, the poll showed Asiedu Nketia leading with 54.2 per cent, with Dr Bawumia receiving 37.1 per cent.
