Kpandai Rerun: NPP Unity Will Decide Outcome — Mussa Dankwah
Global InfoAnalytics boss says party cohesion and strong voter turnout will be decisive as the Kpandai parliamentary rerun remains too close to call
- NPP’s chances in the Kpandai rerun hinge on party unity and mobilisation
- Global InfoAnalytics poll gives NPP candidate Matthew Nyindam a narrow lead
- Tight race means turnout and internal discipline could decide the outcome
The Executive Director of Global InfoAnalytics, Mussa Dankwah, says the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) chances of winning the upcoming Kpandai parliamentary rerun hinge largely on the party’s ability to remain united, as the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) moves to leverage the advantages of incumbency.
Speaking on JoyNews on Monday, December 15, Mr Dankwah noted that the NDC is expected to deploy state resources in the rerun, a development he believes could sway voter behaviour, especially in areas with high levels of voter illiteracy.
He explained that such conditions could expose segments of the electorate to inducement, making it crucial for the NPP candidate, Matthew Nyindam, to firmly consolidate his support and prevent internal cracks within the party.
According to Mr Dankwah, while the NDC is reportedly dealing with internal disagreements over voter loyalty in Kpandai, the NPP currently appears more cohesive and united behind its candidate. He stressed that preserving this unity and ensuring a strong turnout will be decisive.
“If the NPP wants to win, they must stay united, hold their base together, and encourage their supporters to come out and vote,” he emphasised.
His comments follow the release of a fresh Global InfoAnalytics poll ahead of the rerun. The survey, published on Sunday, December 14, 2025, places Mr Nyindam slightly ahead with 50% projected support.
The NDC’s Daniel Nsala Wakpal trails closely with 46%, while independent candidate Donkor Eric Nipani is projected to secure 1%. About 3% of voters remain undecided.
With the figures falling within a ±3.9% margin of error, Mr Dankwah concluded that the Kpandai rerun remains highly competitive, with party unity and voter mobilisation likely to determine the final outcome.
