NDC 2028 Poll: Ato Forson overtakes Asiedu Nketia in flagbearer race
Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson overtakes Johnson Asiedu Nketia to lead the NDC 2028 presidential primaries poll, according to the latest Global InfoAnalytics survey.
Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson has surged ahead of National Democratic Congress (NDC) National Chairman Johnson Asiedu Nketia to become the frontrunner for the party's 2028 presidential flagbearer. A latest poll by Global InfoAnalytics shows Dr. Forson with 32% support from NDC delegates, up from 22% in July 2026. Mr. Nketia's support dipped from 27% to 23% over the same period.
Other candidates saw smaller gains: Haruna Iddrisu at 5%, Julius Debrah and Jane Opoku-Agyemang at 4% each, Joshua Alabi at 2% and Eric Opoku at 1%. 28% of delegates remained undecided. In a direct comparison, Dr. Forson leads with 41% support, compared to Mr. Nketia's 30%, with 29% still undecided. The rise in Dr. Forson's popularity is attributed to strong support in Akan-dominated regions, up 16 points to 41%, and in swing regions, up 7 points to 36%.
56% of NDC delegates supporting an economist to counter the ruling party's nominee, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, specifically backed Dr. Forson. The nationwide CATI survey of 3,611 delegates across all 16 regions was conducted between September 11 and September 13, 2026, with a 99% confidence level and a margin of error of ±2.17%.
