Adutwum: Only Election Day Polls Matter for NPP Primary

New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful and Bosomtwe MP, Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, has dismissed pre-election polls and predictions suggesting he may not win the party’s presidential primary on January 31, 2026. In a Facebook post on Monday, January 19, Dr. Adutwum emphasized that the only poll that matters is the one conducted on election day. He explained that his interactions at the grassroots have convinced him that hope and conviction, rather than numbers, drive people’s decisions. “I have seen the polls. I have heard the commentaries. I have read the predictions. But my brothers and sisters, I believe in only one poll, the one that happens on election day, 31st January. History has taught us that Ghana is not moved by noise; Ghana is moved by truth, hard work, and conviction. “When I walk through our communities, when I sit with teachers, parents, traders, students, and party faithful, I do not hear numbers; I hear hope. “And hope cannot be measured by surveys. I remain calm, focused, and grateful. This journey is not about rankings; it is about readiness. On January 31st, it will not be analysts who decide, it will be the people, and I believe with every fibre of my being that victory will speak for itself,” he wrote. He concluded by urging delegates to support his campaign by voting for him on election day. Dr. Adutwum will contest the NPP flagbearership against Former Vice President and 2024 flagbearer Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Former Assin Central MP Kennedy Agyapong, Abetifi MP Dr. Bryan Acheampong, and former NPP General Secretary Ing. Kwabena Agyepong.
