Nana Akomea reacts to Mussa Dankwah’s post-election survey

The Vice Chairman of the 2024 Bawumia Campaign Team, Nana Akomea, has stated that they are ready to engage with the Executive Director of Global InfoAnalytics, Mussa Dankwah, regarding his findings on the 2024 election.

In an interview on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen, Nana Akomea, who is also the former Managing Director of the State Transport Corporation, expressed the team’s desire to understand the methodologies and basis behind the findings.

“We will approach him for the details to understand what we can learn from it, especially since one of his surveys revealed that about 60% of Ghanaians prefer Bawumia in the next elections. It’s important that we understand these details and be guided accordingly,” he stated.

This comes after the release of Dankwah’s survey, which attributed the NPP’s defeat in the 2024 general elections to key figures within the party.

Dankwah explained that the initial phase of the study allowed respondents to freely mention who they believed was responsible for the NPP’s loss.

The report highlighted former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta as the second-most blamed figure, with 40% of respondents attributing the defeat to his management of the economy.

Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the party’s 2024 presidential candidate and then-Vice President, was cited by 37% of respondents, who felt his campaign lacked sufficient inspiration.

Other figures mentioned included Dr Matthew Opoku-Prempeh (33%), various government appointees (32%), and Members of Parliament (25%). Kennedy Agyapong, who contested the NPP flagbearer race but did not lead the party into the general election, was blamed by 9% of respondents.

The team then used the most frequently mentioned names to design a more structured, close-ended survey.

Although Nana Akomea admitted that the findings might be unclear, he emphasised the need for further engagement to better understand the survey and gain clarity on its implications.
