15,000 NPP delegates were polled in the nationwide survey, which was carried out from July to October 2025, out of an estimated 218,000 in the party’s expanded voter database throughout all 276 constituencies. It showed a margin of error of ±5% and a 99% confidence level.

Kennedy Agyapong is in the lead in ten of Ghana’s sixteen regions, including the NPP strongholds of Ashanti (54.8%), Central (69.0%), and Eastern (54.8%). However, Dr Bawumia continues to hold sway over six regions, particularly in the north, such as the Upper West (60.2%) and North East (70.0%).

These geographical changes, according to Sanity Africa, are a reflection of changing delegate preferences impacted by candidate participation, regional attitudes, and campaign tactics. The organisation came to the conclusion that Kennedy Agyapong is currently in the lead and, should the trend continue, might become the NPP’s presidential candidate.

It did, however, issue a warning that the race is still open and that the outcome will probably be influenced by grassroots mobilisation, campaign messaging, and endorsements.
