The research, conducted by a team of lecturers from the University of Ghana, Legon, led by Dr Chris Atadika, involved 889 NPP stakeholders.

According to the findings, 657 of the 889 respondents, representing 74.2%, identified Eugene Boakye Antwi as the candidate they expected to win the General Secretary position.

Incumbent General Secretary Justin Frimpong Kodua was identified by 223 respondents, representing 25.1%, while six respondents, or 0.7%, mentioned Sylvester Tetteh.

The researchers, however, stressed that the figures reflect the expectations of the respondents and should not be interpreted as an independent prediction of the election outcome.

The study also examined other areas of the contest, including candidate preference, perceived ability to help the NPP win the 2028 general election and name recognition.

On candidate preference, 76.6% of respondents identified Eugene Boakye Antwi as their preferred candidate, compared with 23.1% for Justin Frimpong Kodua.

When asked which candidate they believed could help the NPP win the 2028 election, 60.1% mentioned Eugene Boakye Antwi, while 39.2% chose Justin Frimpong Kodua.

The study recorded 100% awareness of the General Secretary election among the respondents.

The research team, led by Dr Chris Atadika, is expected to brief the media on the full findings at the Department of Political Science at the University of Ghana, Legon.
