The poll, released on August 20, 2026, reveals Boadu receiving 27% of NPP voters' support, surpassing former Energy Minister Boakye Agyarko (15%) and former National Chairman Paul Afoko (10%).

Regional data further highlights Boadu's strength. He leads in Bono East (43%), Greater Accra (38%), North East (38%), Upper East (29%), and Central Region (27%). Agyarko maintains competitive standing in Bono East (23%), Greater Accra (22%), and Central Region (21%). The survey underscores that while Boadu currently leads, the undecided voter pool and intensified campaigns ahead of the NPP's national executive elections keep the race open.
