A poll by researcher Dr. Evans Duah indicates Kennedy Agyapong is the leading candidate for the NPP presidential flagbearer, securing 52.59% of delegate preference. The study, conducted from August 2025 to January 2026, surveyed delegates nationwide. Agyapong's support is attributed to regional gains and his focus on jobs and recovery, while Bawumia's support appears to have declined outside the North.
In the wake of the NPP's 2024 defeat, a fresh delegate preference study by independent researcher Dr Evans Duah positions Kennedy Ohene Agyapong as the frontrunner for the party's presidential flagbearer position, with projections showing him on track for a decisive win.
The rigorous, multi-wave research—spanning August 2025 to early January 2026—which engaged delegates nationwide, achieved full coverage across 276 constituencies.
With 31,556 verified interviews, the final best-case scenario allocates: Agyapong at 52.59%, Bawumia at 36.24%, Acheampong at 8.60%, Adutwum at 2.05%, and Kwabena Agyapong at 0.52%.
Agyapong's lead stems from broad gains in regions like Eastern, Central, and Western, bolstered by his focus on jobs and post-election recovery. In contrast, Bawumia's support has waned outside the North, reflecting delegates' emphasis on national electability.
Dr Duah described the contest as evolving from “fluid reassessment to structured consolidation,” urging the party to heed these insights.
