As the 2024 General Election in Ghana approaches, a recent poll conducted by Global InfoAnalytics has revealed that John Mahama, the flag bearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), maintains a significant lead with 53% of the votes.

In contrast, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the governing New Patriotic Party's (NPP) candidate, trails behind with 31.6%, failing to surpass the 40% mark in recent polls.

Meanwhile, other contenders, such as Nana Kwame Bediako, also known as Cheddar, and Alan Kyerematen, a former Minister for Trade and leader of the Great Alliance, have garnered minimal support, with 2.3% and 1.1% of the votes, respectively.

Notably, a substantial 11.2% of voters remain undecided, indicating a significant portion of the electorate has yet to make up their minds. This sizable undecided vote could potentially sway the outcome of the election, making the remaining weeks leading up to the polls crucial for the candidates to win over these undecided voters and secure their support.

“Nearly 90 days before Ghanaians go to the poll, a new Global InfoAnalytics poll conducted over the phone in all 16 regions shows that 73% of voters believe Ghana is headed in the wrong direction while 20% say it is headed in the right direction, 7% did not have an opinion.
