Former Vice President and aspiring flagbearer Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has been pegged a commanding lead across 14 out of the 16 regions of the country in the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) upcoming presidential primary, according to a recent survey by Global Info Analytics. 

The poll, conducted between November 17 and 21, 2025, puts Dr Bawumia ahead in Ahafo, Ashanti, Bono, Bono East, Eastern, Greater Accra, North East, Northern, Oti, Savannah, Upper East, Upper West, Western, and Western North regions.

The survey showed the contest was closely fought in the Central region, where delegates were almost evenly split, while Kennedy Agyapong maintained a lead in the Volta region.

According to the survey, these results highlighted Dr Bawumia’s broad regional appeal, though pockets of competition suggested strategic battlegrounds remained as delegates prepared to cast their votes in January 2026.

The survey, conducted among 3,500 delegates nationwide, carried a 99% confidence level with a margin of error of ±2.12%, offering a detailed snapshot of the party’s internal dynamics ahead of the primaries.
