It appears many members of the New Patriotic Party prefer Vice President, Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia to lead the party in the 2024 election.
As the rule suggests, the party will first hold super delegates elections to reduce the number of presidential aspirants from ten to five.
The five will face the larger delegates of the party later in the year. As all the ten aspirants are vigorously campaigning to preach their messages the delegates, a research by the Center for Sustainable African Development Initiatives, UK has conducted a survey to determine who is likely to win the special delegates election.
Their findings indicates that Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia stands tall among all the candidates. Alan Kyerematen is second with Kennedy Agyapong grabbing the third position.
According to the report, which sampled the views of super delegates, Dr. Bawumia will secure 72.6%, while former Trade Minister, Alan Kyerematen will place second with 7.7%.
Kennedy Agyepong is tipped to place 3rd with 4.3% while Kwabena Adjei Agyepong is projected to get 1.3%, with former Agric Minister Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto completing the top 5 with 0.6%.
The survey also reports that as much as 13% of the delegates were undecided at the time of the research.
The special delegates, made up of MPs, constituency chairmen, regional executives, national executives and others, were asked who are the top 5 candidates to be elected by the delegates within the NPP’s special Electoral College, and on what basis do they assess a candidate for the NPP flagbearer position.
According to the report, these basis included the candidates vision for the party and country, as well as the competence of the candidate.
