There are currently just eighteen days left until the general elections in 2024, which are set for December 7. Since these closing hours are crucial in determining voters' ultimate choice, tensions have sharply increased on the political scene. Additionally, the electoral commission has reaffirmed their commitment to ensuring a successful and transparent election.
According to the most recent data from Global Analytics, a preeminent expert in polling and electoral trend analysis, a major candidate has had a consistent lead with 52.1% of the vote as of November 16. As the contender continues to solidify their position in a fiercely competitive political race, this development marks a turning point in the ongoing electoral campaign.
The findings of the final national poll, which was held between November 11 and 16, indicate that NDC's John Mahama continues to have a sizable and consistent lead in the polls with 51.9% of the vote, according to a message seen on their official Twitter page. Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the vice president, comes in second with 40.5%, followed by Nana Kwame Bediako in third place with 4.7%, Alan Kyerematen with 2.1%, and others with 0.7%. But prior study has suggested that things could reverse before the elections. The study indicates that John Mahama is stable and over the threshold needed to prevent a runoff, while Dr. Bawumia falters and loses ground to Nana Kwame Bediako and other contenders as Ghanaians prepare to cast their ballots in less than three weeks.
Experts warn against complacency, though. History has demonstrated that the course could still be changed by unforeseen circumstances, late-stage changes in voter opinion, or tactical mistakes. In the upcoming weeks, Global Analytics intends to publish further data that will provide a more comprehensive view of how this lead changes as campaigns heat up and voters make their decisions.
