We’re not flattered despite strong lead in new poll- Bawumia’s Aide
Kwesi Botchwey Jnr, an aide to former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, says the campaign remains focused and disciplined despite a new poll showing Dr. Bawumia as the frontrunner in the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) flagbearer race.
His comments follow the release of a Global Info Analytics poll on August 21, 2025, which places Dr. Bawumia ahead with 52% support among NPP delegates. His closest rival, former Assin Central MP Kennedy Agyapong, polled 17%.
Speaking on Eyewitness News with Sammi Wiafe on Friday, August 22, Mr. Botchwey Jnr welcomed the poll results but emphasised that the campaign is not letting its guard down.
Mr. Botchwey described the findings as a genuine reflection of grassroots sentiment, noting that many delegates are focused on electability.
“We’re not flattered or swollen-headed by this poll by Musah Dankwa and Global Info Analytics. We believe it’s a call to action, it’s positive feedback, and it means we have to work harder to increase the gap. We’re not swollen-headed or flattered. I believe it’s a true reflection of what is happening on the ground. It’s good feedback. When you engage the delegates, they want a winnable candidate,” he said.
Other contenders received significantly less support in the poll. Dr. Bryan Acheampong came in third with 3%, followed by former Education Minister Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum at 1%. Kwabena Agyapong, Boakye Agyarko, and Addai Nimo each polled below 1%.
The NPP is expected to hold its presidential primaries ahead of the 2028 general elections.
