Ato Forson leads NDC 2028 flagbearer poll with 32% support – Global InfoAnalytics

Finance Minister Dr Cassiel Ato Forson has taken the lead in the NDC's 2028 presidential election candidate poll, with 32% support, according to the latest Global InfoAnalytics survey. This represents a significant 10-percentage-point increase from July, when he held 22% support. NDC National Chairman Johnson Asiedu Nketia has dropped four points, now at 23%.

Dr Ato Forson's lead over his closest rival stands at nine percentage points. Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu follows with 5% support, while Vice President Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang and Chief of Staff Julius Debrah each have 4%. Professor Joshua Alabi gained one percentage point to reach 2%, while Food and Agriculture Minister Eric Opoku remains at 1%.

The survey, which sampled 3,615 NDC delegates between September 11 and 13, has a 99% confidence level and a margin of error of ±2.17 percentage points. However, the 28% of delegates who remain undecided indicates there is still room for movement before the party selects its 2028 flagbearer.
