The UP Tradition Institute has raised serious concerns about the credibility of a new survey conducted by Global Info Analytics, which places former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia far ahead of his rivals in the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) flagbearership race for the 2028 general elections.
According to the poll, released on August 21, 2025, Dr. Bawumia enjoys 52% support among NPP delegates.
His closest contender, former Assin Central MP Kennedy Agyapong, is said to command 17%. Agriculture Minister Dr. Bryan Acheampong followed with 3%, while former Education Minister Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum polled 1%. Former General Secretary Kwabena Agyapong, former Energy Minister Boakye Agyarko, and Addai Nimo were each recorded at 0%.
The survey also reported that 10.7% of respondents were undecided, while 9% refused to disclose their preference.
But the UP Tradition Institute, led by Razak Kojo Opoku, has challenged the accuracy of the findings, pointing out that the figures account for only 92.7% of the total, leaving 7.3% unaccounted for. He noted that even if Kwabena Agyapong, Boakye Agyarko, and Addai Nimo were each assigned 1% hypothetically, the figures would still add up to only 95.7%—leaving a 4.3% gap unexplained.
“This raises doubts about the credibility and integrity of the data, especially when the poll claims a confidence level of 99% and a margin of error of ±2.44,” Opoku stressed.
The institute has therefore called on Global Info Analytics to clarify the discrepancies to preserve public trust in its electoral surveys, warning that such gaps could distort perceptions ahead of the NPP’s crucial presidential primaries.
