A new survey by Global InfoAnalytics has positioned Tamale South MP Haruna Iddrisu as the frontrunner to lead the National Democratic Congress (NDC) into the 2028 general elections.
The poll shows Haruna leading with 30% support, ahead of NDC National Chairman Johnson Asiedu Nketia at 24% and Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson at 18%. Former Chief of Staff Julius Debrah followed with 10%, while North Tongu MP Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa secured 8%.
Other potential aspirants, including Eric Opoku, Joshua Alabi, Armah-Kofi Buah, and Kwame Awuah-Darko, each polled 2%, with Dr. Ekwow Spio-Garbrah at 1%. Alfred Okoe Vanderpuije did not register significant support.
In alternative scenarios, Haruna’s dominance increased. In a three-way race excluding Ato Forson, he stretched his lead to 45%, compared to Asiedu Nketia’s 37% and Julius Debrah’s 18%. Among NDC supporters, his backing rose to 47%, with 48% support in key swing regions.
However, if Haruna is not in the race, the contest tightens significantly. Asiedu Nketia would lead with 40%, narrowly ahead of Ato Forson at 38%, while Julius Debrah held 22%. Among core NDC voters, the two front-runners are nearly tied—42% for Asiedu and 41% for Forson. Forson performed particularly well in swing regions, topping Asiedu with 47% to 38%.
The poll indicates that Haruna Iddrisu is currently the clear favourite, but his absence could trigger a fiercely competitive race between Asiedu Nketia and Ato Forson, potentially reshaping the NDC’s leadership contest ahead of the 2028 elections.
