  "account": "Former General Secretary John Boadu has taken an early lead in the race for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) National Chairmanship, according to a survey by Global InfoAnalytics. The poll, conducted from August 10 to 12, 2026, shows Mr Boadu with 27% of the preferences among NPP voters, followed by former Energy Minister Boakye Agyarko with 15% and former NPP National Chairman Paul Afoko with 10%. The remaining 47% of respondents are undecided, which could prove decisive in the party's national executive elections. Boadu also leads in favorability ratings, with a 61% favorable rating and 12% unfavorable rating, giving him a net approval of 49%. Agyarko has a 50% favorable rating and 17% unfavorable, while Afoko has 50% favorability with 18% unfavorability. The regional figures further reinforce Boadu's position, with the highest support in Bono East (43%), Greater Accra (38%), North East (38%), Upper East (41%), Northern (29%), and Central Region (27%). Agyarko's strongest support is in Bono East (23%), Greater Accra (22%), and Central Region (21%), while Afoko's strongest regional performance is in Savannah (22%) and North East (19%). Despite Boadu's lead, the high level of undecided voters means the contests in chairmanship, General Secretary, and National Organiser races remain fluid and could still change.",
