Asiedu Nketia holds lead in NDC race but Ato Forson closing gap fast

The National Democratic Congress's party chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, maintains his lead in the race to become the party's next presidential flagbearer, polling at 29% among delegates. But a fresh tracking poll suggests his position is under growing pressure as Finance Minister Ato Forson's support surges, narrowing what was once a commanding 16-point advantage to just 10 points in less than two weeks. The findings come from a Global InfoAnalytics poll conducted between March 31 and April 9, which surveyed nearly 10,400 NDC delegates across all 16 regions using telephone interviews. It represents the first public measurement of delegate sentiment since the contest to succeed President John Mahama began to take shape.
