<p>The final poll ahead of the December 7 election predicts that John Dramani Mahama (JDM) will be elected as Ghana’s next president with 51.9% of the vote. In second place is the presidential candidate of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia (DMB), with 40.5%, while independent presidential candidates Nana Kwame Bediako (NKB) and Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen (AKK) come in third and fourth with 4.7% and 2.1%, respectively.</p>

<p>While the poll predicts a keenly contested election in swing regions such as Greater Accra, Central, and Western, it noted a concerning decline in the NPP’s votes in the Akan and northern regions. Global Info Analytics noted: <em>“In the swing regions, JDM is on 51.1%, DMB 39.5%, AKK 2.0%, NKB 7.0%, and others 0.4%. In the Akan regions, DMB leads with 46.6%, JDM 44.5%, AKK 2.6%, NKB 5.6%, and others 0.9%. In the Northern regions, JDM leads with 64.7%, DMB 33.9%, AKK 0.7%, and NKB 0.7%. In the Volta and Oti regions, JDM leads with 72.7%, DMB 19.7%, AKK 2.2%, NKB 3.3%, and others 2.2%.”</em></p>

<p>On average, the poll shows that Mahama is leading in thirteen (13) regions, while Dr Bawumia leads in three (3). <em>“JDM is leading in Ahafo and Bono regions, traditional regions which have voted for the ruling party in past elections. Among floating or independent voters, John Mahama leads with 63%, Nana Kwame Bediako 17%, Dr Bawumia 13%, Alan Kyerematen 5%, and others 2%. Among first-time voters, who represent circa 5% of total registered voters, JDM leads with 48%, DMB 39%, NKB 8%, and AKK 5%,”</em> the poll indicates.</p>

<p>John Mahama continues to lead among voters who identified the economy and jobs as their primary concern, with 55% compared to Dr Bawumia’s 38%. Similarly, for those who consider education their priority, John Mahama leads with 49% to Dr Bawumia's 43%.</p>
