Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is in a pole position to sweep the votes in Saturday’s super delegates conference of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), the Centre for Sustainable African Development Initiatives, UK, has predicted.
A report by the group, following a survey on the outcome of the conference and who is likely to make the Top 5, revealed that Dr. Bawumia will emerge victorious on Saturday with an emphatic margin, and the rest will contend with meagre percentages to make it.
According to the report, which sampled the views of some of the delegates, Dr. Bawumia will secure 72.6%, while former Trade Minister Alan Kyerematen will place second with 7.7%.
Kennedy Agyepong is tipped to place 3rd with 4.3% while Kwabena Adjei Agyepong is tipped to get 1.3%, with former Agric Minister Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto completing the top 5 with 0.6%.
The survey also reports that as much as 13% of the delegates were undecided at the time of the research.
The special delegates, made up of MPs, constituency chairmen, regional executives, national executives and others, were asked about the Top 5 candidates to be elected and on what basis do they assess a candidate for the NPP flagbearer position.
The main basis for assessing candidates by delegates, according to the report, were the vision of the candidate for the party and the country as well as the competence of the candidate.
