  "account": "John Boadu, a former General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has secured the top position in the party's national chairmanship race, according to the latest Global InfoAnalytics poll. Released on September 30, the survey indicates that Boadu holds 48% support, outpacing former Energy Minister Boakye Agyarko, who garnered 38%. Paul Afoko, the former NPP National Chairman, follows with 12%, while Sammy Crabbe, a former First Vice Chairman, receives 2% support, the poll reveals. The Committed Delegates Model, employed by Global InfoAnalytics, assesses backing among delegates dedicated to the party's forthcoming national executive elections. This figure differs from the previous survey conducted on September 2, which had placed Boadu at 23.3% and Agyarko at 17.7%, with 41.3% of respondents undecided at the time. The September 30 survey also offers net favorability ratings for the four contestants. Boadu achieved a +64 rating, followed by Agyarko at +58, Afoko at +45, and Crabbe at +39.
