A Researcher and Financial Economist, Dr Evans Duah, has said that there is a high possibility that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer election will enter the second round.
He said this on the Key Points on TV3 Saturday, January 31.
“A runoff is possible,” he said.
Dr Duah, however, was quick to add that there is also a possibility of a first-round victory for Kennedy Agyapong if the numbers turn out to vote in the primary.
“If anyone is crossing the 50 plus one, it’s Kennedy Agyapong,” he said.
Also speaking on the same show, pollster Mussa Dankwah said there would be no second round. He also said former Vice President Dr Mahamau Bawumia will win today’s polls.
Over 211,000 delegates of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) are voting to elect their flagbearer for the December 7, 2028 presidential election.
The candidates vying for the position are; Ing. Kwabena Agyei Agyepong, Dr Bryan Acheampong, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum and Kennedy Ohene Agyapong.
Events leading to the contest on January 31 indicate that this election is crucial as the elected candidate will face off with a yet-to-be-known flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Although many polls have tipped Dr Mahamudu Bawumia to win, others have pointed to a Kennedy Agyapong victory. Yet Kwabena Agyepong, Yaw Osei Adutwum and Bryan Acheampong are counting on a miracle to upset the expected outcome.
That said, the real poll is underway. Thus, the close of day will definitely end the discussion, analysis and projections.
