Survey by UG's Political Science Department projects 51.7% victory for Akufo-Addo
An earlier survey by the Political Science Department of the University of Ghana predicted a 51.7% victory for the NPP’s Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
“The respondents who said they were going to vote based on sound campaign message, their preferred choices were NPP's Akufo-Addo 52.5 and followed by the NDC's John Mahama 40.9. GUM's Christian Kwabena Andrews got 1.3 but what is more important is that 3.7 percent of Ghanaians have not decided.”
“When we asked our sample which presidential candidate they were going to vote for if elections were held today, 51.7 percent said they will vote for Akufo-Addo, and 40.4% said they will vote for Mahama while 1.4% said they will vote for GUM. So that is what the 11,000 respondents that we spoke to said.”
