Boateng’s support increased from 9% in the first wave to 14% in the second and final waves. Ababio also recorded an increase, moving from 1% in the first wave to 8% in the second before recording 7% in the final survey. Bram-Larbi moved from 4% initially to 7% in the final wave.

Asamoah’s measured support moved in the opposite direction, falling from 9% in the first wave to 4% in the final two surveys. Poll methodology The final survey involved 3,263 NPP delegates across all 16 regions, using the party’s 2026 constituencies register, according to Global InfoAnalytics. The poll was conducted through Computer Assisted Telephone Interviews (CATI), with the organisation reporting a response rate of more than 80% of calls placed.

Global InfoAnalytics reported a 98% confidence level and a margin of error of plus or minus 1.35 percentage points. The sample size increased from 2,342 delegates in the first wave on September 17 to 3,288 on September 23 before settling at 3,263 in the final survey. The findings represent measured delegate preferences during the survey period and do not determine the eventual election result.

The Electoral Commission is supervising the election, with 7,121 delegates expected to vote and 47 aspirants contesting various national positions.
