- Mahama leads in Fitch, Global InfoAnalytics polls.
- NDC warned against complacency.
- NPP accused of fake polls.
- Mahama emphasizes voter protection.
John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has responded to recent polls by Fitch and Global InfoAnalytics that predict he’s leading the 2024 general elections. Mahama, while touring the North East Region on October 2, highlighted the strong likelihood of the NDC securing victory, citing reputable organizations like Fitch Solutions and Global InfoAnalytics.
The latest report from Fitch Solutions, a UK-based rating agency, predicts the NDC is poised to win the elections. Additionally, a final field poll conducted by Global InfoAnalytics shows Mahama maintaining a commanding lead with 51.1% of the votes, positioning him favourably against Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
Despite these positive projections, Mahama cautioned his supporters against complacency, emphasizing the need for vigilance throughout the electoral process. He accused the New Patriotic Party (NPP) of orchestrating fake polls to create a false narrative of victory for their presidential candidate.
Mahama urged his supporters to ignore fake opinion polls, citing credible institutions like the Economy Intelligence Unit, Fitch Solutions, and Global InfoAnalytics that predict an NDC victory. He emphasized the importance of protecting every single person’s vote.
The NPP, however, has dismissed the Global InfoAnalytics poll findings. Dr. Bawumia’s campaign team remains optimistic about their chances.
Mahama’s message of vigilance resonates with his supporters, who recognize the importance of credible polling and electoral transparency.
The upcoming elections will be closely watched, with many analysts predicting a tight contest between the NDC and NPP.
In the midst of these predictions, Mahama’s call to action – “All of us are going to be polling agents” – underscores his commitment to grassroots mobilization.
As the campaign season intensifies, both parties will likely focus on key issues like economic development, healthcare, and education.
Ghanaians will decide the outcome of the elections, and only time will tell if Mahama’s lead will translate to victory.
The NDC’s campaign strategy will likely prioritize voter protection and electoral integrity, critical factors in Ghana’s democratic process.
