Global InfoAnalytics poll shows tight race ahead of December 30 Kpandai parliamentary rerun
- Nyindam leads narrowly with 50% support, ahead of NDC’s Daniel Wakpal on 46%, according to Global InfoAnalytics
- Race remains tight, with the lead within a ±3.9% margin of error and minimal vote switching between top candidates
- Voter optimism high, as 66% of Kpandai voters say Ghana is headed in the right direction
A fresh opinion poll by Global InfoAnalytics ahead of the Kpandai parliamentary rerun has placed the New Patriotic Party (NPP) candidate, Mathew Nyindam, narrowly in the lead with 50 per cent voter support.
The survey, released on Sunday, December 14, 2025, shows the incumbent MP slightly ahead of his main challenger, National Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate Daniel Nsala Wakpal, who secured 46 per cent support.
Independent candidate Donkor Eric Nipani is projected to obtain just 1 per cent of the vote, while 3 per cent of respondents remain undecided.
Although the race is keenly contested, Nyindam’s marginal advantage falls within the poll’s ±3.9 per cent margin of error, indicating a highly competitive rerun.
The findings suggest minimal vote movement between the two leading contenders. About two per cent of Nyindam’s former supporters have shifted to Wakpal, while a similar percentage of Wakpal’s supporters have moved in the opposite direction.
However, the poll highlights a notable swing among voters who initially backed independent candidate Donkor Eric Nipani, with 28 per cent now supporting Nyindam — a shift that has strengthened his overall position.
On Nyindam’s performance during his brief tenure in the current Parliament, 3 per cent of respondents rated him as excellent, while 32 per cent described his performance as good or very good. Thirty-six per cent considered his performance average, and 29 per cent rated it as poor or very poor.
Beyond the rerun, the survey also assessed voter sentiment on the country’s direction. Overall, 66 per cent of respondents in the Kpandai constituency believe Ghana is moving in the right direction, while 26 per cent think otherwise. Eight per cent expressed no opinion.
Among NPP supporters, opinions were more divided, with 37 per cent saying Ghana is headed in the right direction and 47 per cent disagreeing. In contrast, 97 per cent of NDC supporters expressed optimism about the country’s direction. Floating voters also appeared largely positive, with 65 per cent indicating confidence in Ghana’s trajectory.
