With the NPP gearing up to officially open nominations for its 2028 presidential primaries, a survey has showed that former Assin Central Member of Parliament, Kennedy Agyapong is struggling to hold down his backyard.
According to a recent survey by Global Info Analytics’ Musah Dankwa, former Vice President of Ghana. Dr Mahamudu Bawumia is currently favoured by members of the New Patriotic Party in Assin Central which happens to be the backyard of Kennedy Agyapong, a presidential hopeful of the party.
According to Munsa Dunkwa’s findings, in Assin Central where Kennedy Agyapong was MP for over 2 decades, Bawumia has a commanding lead with 68.5% of support while Kennedy Agyapong has 30.1%.
The survey showed the former vice president also leads in key constituencies in Central Region such as Mfantseman, Ekumfi, Upper Denkyira West, Cape Coast North, Agona East and Agona West.
In the overall central regional survey, the findings showed Dr. Bawumia leading with 48% while Kennedy Agyapong trails behind at 40%.
With Kennedy Agyapong hailing from the Central Region and the survey showing Bawumia’s dominance in the Assin Central Constituency, it indicates the former Assin Central lawmaker is losing grip of his home region while the former vice president shows growing popularity in the region ahead of the NPP presidential election in January 2026.
