Campaign Conduct Draws Attention

The tightly contested primary generated significant public interest, particularly over campaign conduct.

During the process, Baba Jamal’s campaign distributed items including 32-inch television sets and boiled eggs to delegates. He maintained that the gestures were acts of goodwill and not intended to influence voting decisions.

Defying Pre-Election Projections

The outcome contradicted earlier projections by Mussa Dankwah, Executive Director of Global InfoAnalytics, who had predicted that Baba Jamal’s support was unlikely to exceed 38%.

Polling data ahead of the vote suggested that Hajia Amina Adam, widow of the late Ayawaso East MP Mahama Naser Toure, was leading with an estimated 54% support.

Next Step: By-Election

With the primary concluded, Baba Jamal will now lead the NDC into the Ayawaso East parliamentary by-election as the party’s official candidate.
