2024 Elections: It’s premature to conclude on who wins – Hassan Ayariga on Global InfoAnalytics Poll

Founder of the All People’s Congress (APC), Dr Hassan Ayariga, has said it is too early to conclude who will be in this year’s election based on a poll.

He said a lot can change from now till December 7 when Ghanaians go to the polls to elect a president and Members of Parliament.

He was commenting on the poll conducted by Global InfoAnalytics that puts the NDC’s John Mahama at 54.3 percent, while the NPP’s Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia secured 34.6 percent. Leader of the Movement for Change Alan Kyerematen had 7.5 percent, while the New Force’s Nana Kwame Bediako polled 2.3 percent.

For the Central region, 94% of NPP voters intend to vote for DMB (much higher than in Ashanti), 3% for AKK and 1% NKB and 0% for JDM. Among NDC, JDM, 96%, 2% DMB.

Among floating voters, 54% for JDM, 23% for DMB, 2% for AKK and 6% for NKB. For those who did not disclose, 34%… pic.twitter.com/EleXc2AmqS

Following this poll, the Director of Communications for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Richard Ahiagbah raised concerns about the methodology.

“The value that we place on the outcome of this survey cannot be inclusive to the people of this country because the instrument itself can create problems due to people’s understanding of the questions asked.

“So therefore the answers they are giving, as to whether or not they are answering the question about the country moving in the right direction (which is relative when you translate into another language) is the issue.

“For me, the premium we should put on this should not be too high,” he said on Friday, April 5.

Commenting on the polls on TV3’s New Day show on Tuesday, April 9, Hassan Ayaf=iga said ” it is too early to make projections using polls, the campaigns is yet to begin and the smaller parties are yet to even elect their flagbearers.

“This poll did not favour all the parties equally because the smaller parties are yet to elect their candidates.”
