A research by the Centre for Sustainable African Development Initiatives, UK, has predicted that Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia will win overwhelmingly in the NPP Super Delegates election scheduled for Saturday, August 26.
A report by the group, following a survey on the outcome of the Special Delegates Conference and who is likely to make the top 5, revealed that Dr. Bawumia will emerge victorious on Saturday.
According to the report, which sampled the views of super 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 projected 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 who are the top 5 candidates to be elected by the delegates within the NPP’s special electoral college, and on what basis do they assess a candidate for the NPP flagbearer position.
According to the report, these bases included the candidate’s vision for the party and country, as well as the competence of the candidate.

The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.
The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.
Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.
He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
