The Chief Executive Officer of the National Entrepreneurship & Innovation Programme (NEIP), Kofi Ofosu Nkansah, has criticized the recent poll conducted by Global InfoAnalytics, calling it "kindergarten research."

In a Facebook post on Wednesday, October 23, he urged Ghanaians to disregard the poll, which shows former President John Dramani Mahama leading the 2024 presidential race.

Ofosu Nkansah dismissed the credibility of the poll, specifically targeting its methodology. He argued that Mussa Dankwa fails to account for the broader voter population and the geographical spread of the sample.

"Mussa Dankwa's polling formula is to call say 100 people on the phone and just record the number of votes each candidate gets. He doesn't factor in voter population or where the sample was picked from. That's why his polls are never close to actual results," he posted.

He further suggested that such omissions make Dankwa’s polls unreliable and often far from the actual election results. According to Nkansah, Ghanaians should not take these polls seriously, as they do not reflect the true electoral dynamics.

The poll led by Mussa Dankwa indicated that John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), holds a commanding lead over Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

The data suggested that Mahama secured 51.1% of committed voters, while Bawumia trailed with 37.3%. Independent candidates Alan Kyeremanten and Nana Kwame Bediako were also featured in the poll, with support of 4.1% and 6.2%, respectively.
