Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in Ghana's 2028 presidential race, has emerged as the frontrunner according to a recent nationwide voter perception survey conducted by the Africa Policy Lens (APL). The survey, which polled 16,963 respondents across 276 constituencies in all 16 regions of Ghana, revealed that Bawumia leads all seven potential presidential contenders from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in hypothetical head-to-head contests.

His support ranged from 45.7 percent to 49.9 percent, with some undecided voters in certain matchups. Despite his lead, the survey indicated that Bawumia's advantage over the NDC hopefuls is relatively small and could be subject to change as the election approaches. The survey also highlighted that Bawumia's support is not confined to a single region, as he wins between nine to 11 out of the 16 regions in different scenarios.

Voters in the 2028 race reportedly prioritize qualities such as honesty, integrity, job creation, and economic management.
