Concerns raised over credibility of Musa's poll data

Dr Razak Kojo Opoku of the UP Tradition Institute has questioned the integrity of a recent Musa Dankwa and his Global Info Analytics' survey on the New Patriotic Party's presidential primary, citing inconsistencies in the data analysis.

According to the published results, the poll ranked candidates as follows:

Bawumia – 52%

Ken – 17%

Bryan – 3%

Adutwum – 1%

Kwabena – 0%

Boakye – 0%

Nimo – 0%

Undecided – 10.7%

Not Disclosed – 9%

This brings the total score to 92.7%, leaving 7.3% unaccounted for.

Mr. Opoku highlighted that even if an additional 1% each were allocated to Kwabena Agyepong, Boakye Agyarko, and Francis Addai Nimo—who were recorded as having 0%—the adjusted total would reach 95.7%, still leaving 4.3% missing from the data set.

“This gap raises serious concerns,” he noted. “How can a poll claim a 99% confidence level with a plus 2.44 margin of error when the arithmetic itself does not add up?

Such discrepancies undermine the credibility and integrity of the entire survey.”

 

Mr. Opoku has therefore called on Musa Dankwa to provide a clear explanation for the missing percentages and discrepancies in order to restore public confidence in its findings.
