A new poll conducted by Global InfoAnalytics has ranked the Member of Parliament for Tamale South, Haruna Iddrisu, as the leading contender to lead the National Democratic Congress (NDC) into the 2028 general elections.
According to the survey, Haruna Iddrisu commands 30% support, ahead of NDC National Chairman Johnson Asiedu Nketia with 24%, and Finance Minister Ato Forson with 18%.
When tested in alternative scenarios, Haruna’s dominance becomes even clearer.
In a three-way race excluding Ato Forson, he widens his lead to 45%, compared to Asiedu Nketia’s 37% and Julius Debrah’s 18%. Among NDC supporters alone, his backing rises to 47%, with particularly strong appeal in key swing regions where he garners 48% support.
Interestingly, Forson performs best in the swing regions, where he overtakes Asiedu with 47% support against the Chairman’s 38%.
The findings suggest that while Haruna Iddrisu is currently the clear favourite, his absence would create a fiercely competitive two-horse race between Asiedu Nketia and Ato Forson, potentially reshaping the NDC’s succession landscape ahead of 2028.
