The survey, conducted among 977 respondents in Greater Accra, Central, and Bono regions from February 10th to 25th, 2024, reveals that Dr. Bawumia holds an advantage over the National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer and former President, John Dramani Mahama.
The overall performance analysis of the leading candidates shows that Dr. Bawumia commands 43.5% support, slightly surpassing Mr. Mahama’s 42.1%. Additionally, 6.9% of respondents expressed their intention to vote for other candidates, while 7.4% remained undecided during the polling period.
This report suggests a competitive electoral landscape, with Dr. Bawumia emerging as a front-runner in these crucial constituencies.

Notably, Dr. Bawumia’s victory in constituencies such as La Dadekotopon, Cape Coast North, Twifo-Atti Morkwa, Dormaa West, and Jaman North highlights his growing support base.
