the culmination of a massive data-gathering exercise conducted between December 29, 2025, and January 23, 2026, paints a clear picture of the delegate landscape across all 16 regions.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Executive Director of Global Info Analytics, Mussa Dankwa, the predictive model currently stands as follows:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia:<\/strong> 57%<\/li>\n<li><strong>Kennedy Ohene Agyapong:<\/strong> 28%<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dr. Bryan Acheampong (DBA):<\/strong> 13%<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum:<\/strong> 2%<\/li>\n<li><strong>Kwabena Agyepong:<\/strong> 0%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Methodology: 10,000 Voices Across Ghana<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To ensure a high degree of accuracy, the survey utilised computer-assisted telephone interviews (CATI) to reach 10,133 respondents. <\/p>\n<p>The sampling was not restricted to urban centres; it spanned 272 constituencies, providing a national snapshot.<\/p>\n<p>The pollsters claim an extraordinary 99.9% confidence level, with a razor-thin margin of error of \u00b11.57%.<\/p>\n<p>For the final predictive model\u2014which factors in historical delegate behaviour and undecided voters\u2014the margin of error is set at \u00b13.0%.<\/p>\n<p>The most significant shift in the January data is the rise of Dr. Bryan Acheampong. <\/p>\n<p>Moving from single digits in late 2025 to 13% in the final week, the Abetifi MP and former Minister for Food and Agriculture appears to have successfully branded himself as the unity candidate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Regional Strongholds and Battlegrounds<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Global Info Analytics suggests that Dr Bawumia\u2019s lead is anchored in a near-total sweep of the five Northern regions and a significant majority in the North East and Upper West.<\/p>\n<p>However, Kennedy Agyapong continues to hold a competitive edge in parts of the Central Region and Ashanti Region, where his showdown message resonates with delegates who feel marginalised by the party\u2019s central establishment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        <div class=\"booster-block booster-reactions-block\">\n
