Mussa Dankwa, the Executive Director of Global Info Analytics, shared his analysis of the poll results on Channel One TV’s Citiuation Room, suggesting that Tampuli should focus on identifying his weaknesses in the electoral area, such as demographics and key issues."In the questionnaire, we asked voters, ‘Who did you vote for in the last parliamentary election?’ So you have those who said Malimali, those who said Tampuli.

Some said they didn’t vote and others said they would not disclose how they voted. So we looked at those who said they voted for Tampuli in 2020. We realized that twelve per cent of them had switched their votes for Malimali.""Among those who said they didn’t vote in the last election, which includes older voters and first-time voters, largely, 75% of them are voting for the NDC candidate, which is Malimali."
