NDC Leadership Race 2028: Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang Leads in New Poll
Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang Leads NDC Leadership Poll
A recent Global InfoAnalytics poll on voter preferences for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) leadership in 2028 positions Vice President Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang as the frontrunner with 25.0% support. She is followed closely by:
- Haruna Iddrisu (20.7%)
- Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson (12.9%)
Surprising Rankings in the NDC Leadership Race
Longtime NDC stalwart and National Chairman Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, once considered a top contender, ranked fifth with 9.8%, falling just behind Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa (9.9%).
Asiedu Nketiah has been a dominant force within the party, particularly as a grassroots mobilizer. However, his lower ranking raises questions about whether his influence is waning or if party supporters are shifting toward newer leadership figures.
Other Notable Contenders:
- Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings (6.3%)
- Julius Debrah (4.9%)
- Dr. Omane Boamah (2.2%)
What Experts Are Saying
Speaking on The Point of View on Channel One TV, Mussa Dankwa, Executive Director of Global InfoAnalytics, analyzed the poll results:
“The NDC is likely going to be led by the new generation. And on that basis, people begin to look for their future leader from that group.”
His observation suggests a growing preference for fresh leadership within the party as it prepares for the 2028 elections.
What This Means for the NDC’s Future
With Opoku-Agyemang leading but facing strong competition from rising figures, the 2028 NDC flagbearer race remains wide open. Political analysts will closely monitor these dynamics in the coming months.
