A recent survey conducted by Global InfoAnalytics has revealed the leading candidates in the New Patriotic Party (NPP) executive elections. The poll, which took place from September 24 to 28, 2026, surveyed 3,263 delegates across Ghana's 16 regions. The survey has a 98% confidence level and a margin of error of plus or minus 1.35 percentage points. The results show that former General Secretary John Boadu is leading the race for National Chairman.
In the National Chairman contest, John Boadu recorded 48% support, ahead of Boakye Agyarko with 38%. Paul Afoko followed with 12%, while Sammy Crabbe recorded 2%. The poll's trend data showed Boadu's support declining from 51% on September 2 to 48% in the final wave. Agyarko, meanwhile, recorded 38% in the final poll after reaching the same level on September 17. The survey also examined the factors delegates associate with their preferred chairman.
The survey found that Boadu recorded the highest association across four key measures, including the ability to unite the party, instil discipline, grassroots credentials, and strong personality. In the General Secretary race, incumbent Justin Kodua Frimpong recorded 71% support, according to the final wave. He was followed by Sylvester Tetteh with 17%, while Eugene Antwi and Charles Dwamena each recorded 6%. Kodua's support had peaked at 86% on September 17 before settling at 71% in the final survey.
