Fresh polling data released by political research firm Global Info Analytics has revealed a significant drop in support for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Ashanti Region, while the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has recorded modest gains.
According to Musah Dankwa, Executive Secretary of Global Info Analytics, the latest survey shows the NDC’s support in the region falling from 30 percent in March to 18 percent in June, a dramatic 12-point decline.
It was 30% in March, but now it is 18%, Dankwa disclosed on Kessben TV’s Digest show.
The NPP, on the other hand, saw its numbers increase from 34 percent to 37 percent over the same period.
“NPP was 34% in March and 37% now,” he stated.
Explaining the shift in voter sentiment, Dankwa cited growing dissatisfaction with the country’s direction, rising living costs, and concerns about the conduct of some government officials.
“Reasons are the direction of the country, cost of living, and character of some government officials,” he noted.
Despite the NPP’s improved standing, Dankwa clarified that the NDC’s losses have not automatically translated into gains for its main political rival.
“The NDC numbers that dropped did not join the NPP but are undisclosed,” he explained, suggesting a growing bloc of undecided or disengaged voters.
He cautioned against reading too much into a single survey, emphasizing that public opinion remains fluid.
“Opinion polls are not static. There is a lot more to come in the next poll,” Dankwa said.
While the NPP currently leads in the region, Dankwa warned that the party still has considerable work to do across the country.
“NPP has a lot to do nationwide,” he stressed.
He also reminded political actors that party loyalty does not always translate into votes on election day.
“Party affiliation is not a vote,” he added.
The findings come at a time when public frustration over the cost of living, governance issues, and ongoing national controversies continues to shape the political landscape, raising questions about how both major parties will respond ahead of future elections.
