  "account": "The Global InfoAnalytics poll has revealed a nine-point lead for Dr Cassiel Ato Forson over Johnson Asiedu Nketia in the race for the NDC's 2028 presidential candidacy, according to the latest figures. Finance Minister Forson now holds 32% support among delegates, marking a 10-point increase from his 22% in July, while NDC National Chairman Nketia has seen his support drop to 23%, a nine-point decrease from his 27% in July. The poll, conducted among 3,615 NDC delegates from September 11 to 13, 2026, indicates a significant shift in preferences, with Dr Forson as the only leading contender to record a double-digit increase. Despite the movement at the top, 28% of delegates remain undecided, with Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu at 5%, Vice President Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang at 4%, Julius Debrah at 4%, Professor Joshua Alabi at 2%, and Food and Agriculture Minister Eric Opoku at 1%. The results suggest the race could still change significantly as undecided delegates could potentially alter the current standings before the NDC's presidential contest.",
