Results of the second wave of the Ghana Election Poll have indicated that if elections were to be held today, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress, Mr John Mahama, will emerge victorious.
According to the poll, which ran online from July 1 to August 1, 2020, via a market research firm MSI-ACI, former President John Mahama garnered 62 per cent of votes while 33 per cent voted for the incumbent, President Nana Akufo-Addo.
Five per cent of the sample size of 2,055 respondents opted for other candidates, aside from the two major political parties.
The poll also shows that in terms of gender, just over a third of Ghanaian adult males, representing 33 per cent, would vote for Nana Akufo-Addo, while a significant 63 per cent of males would vote for Mr Mahama.

The poll also found out that young people between the ages of 15 and 24 are likely to vote for Nana Akufo-Addo.
