Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has narrowly taken the lead over Finance Minister Dr Cassiel Ato Forson in the Ashanti and Eastern regions of Ghana, according to a September 2026 tracking poll by Global InfoAnalytics. Bawumia achieved 46% support, while Forson garnered 43%. When added to the race is Kennedy Agyapong, who received 8% of the vote.
The poll indicates that Bawumia and Forson are virtually tied, with a 3 percentage point difference within the poll's margin of error. However, if Kennedy Agyapong is excluded from the race, Bawumia's lead increases to 3 percentage points, with their support at 48% and 45% respectively. Alan Kyerematen's support increases to 4% and Nana Bediako's rises to 2% in this scenario.
The findings suggest that Kennedy Agyapong's supporters may not automatically transfer their votes to Bawumia if he does not run in the 2028 election. The poll focuses on voter preferences in the Ashanti and Eastern regions, two crucial electoral strongholds in Ghana.
