The Executive Director and Head of Global Research at Global InfoAnalytics, Mussa Dankwah, says he would be surprised if the National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer for the 2028 elections is not a young person.
In an interview on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem, Mr. Dankwah emphasized that polling data and the demographics of Ghana make it favorable for a younger candidate to lead the NDC.
He pointed out that the youthful population will play a crucial role as the “kingmakers” in the 2028 election.
“I will be surprised if the NDC’s flagbearer in 2028 is not a young person because of the structure of the population, even within the NDC. The album will comprise young people, and in the end, we will look at the age group that will make the final decision. The selected candidate must resonate with the decision-makers,” he said.
Mr. Dankwah’s comment follows a survey on potential candidates for the NDC’s 2028 flagbearer race.
According to the Global InfoAnalytics survey, Vice President Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyeman is leading with 26% of voter preference.
She is closely followed by Minister of Education Haruna Iddrisu with 19%, and Minister of Finance Dr. Ato Forson, who holds third place with 12%.
NDC Chairman Johnson Asiedu Nketia secured 10% of voter support, placing him outside the top three contenders.
Other notable figures included Dr. Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings, Member of Parliament for Klottey Korle, and Chief of Staff Julius Debrah, who both garnered 6% of voter support.
Mr. Dankwah believes that given the dominance of young people in the polls, it would be a logical decision for the party to select one of them as their flagbearer.
He also mentioned that Global InfoAnalytics will continue conducting similar surveys every 90 days to track voter preferences.
