  "account": "National Youth Organiser candidate Fusaini Yakubu Abanga leads the race with a significant 45% support, according to the most recent tracking poll by Global InfoAnalytics. Conducted between September 24 and 28, 2026, the survey of committed NPP delegates reveals a substantial 23-percentage-point lead over his closest challenger, Clement O. Gyamfi, who secures 22%. Michael Osei Boateng follows with 14%, while Alfred Ababio and Vera Oye Bram-Larbi each have 7%. Chris Lloyd Asamoah earns 4% in the contest.\n\nThis latest data reflects a stable trend for Abanga, who consistently registered 45% support across three survey waves in September. His percentage points only fluctuated by a single point, ranging from 46% to 45%. In contrast, Gyamfi's support showed a downward trajectory, beginning at 30% in the first wave and dropping to 22% before staying steady in the final survey. Boateng experienced an upward trajectory, increasing from a low of 9% to 14% in subsequent waves. Ababio and Bram-Larbi also demonstrated growth, jumping from 1% to 8% and 4% to 7% respectively. Asamoah's support, however, showed a decline, falling from 9% in the first wave to 4% in the final two waves.\n\nThe final survey encompassed 3,263 delegates, covering all 16 regions of the NPP. Utilizing Computer Assisted Telephone Interviews (CATI), the poll boasted a 98% confidence level with a margin of error of ±1.35 percentage points. The substantial survey sample, increasing from 2,342 delegates on September 17 to 3,263 in the final wave, provided a robust foundation for the results. The three-wave trend offers valuable insight into the shifting support levels for each candidate throughout September.",
