New Patrotic Party national organiser hopeful, Kwame Prempeh, has dismissed analysis by Global InfoAnalytics on the party’s internal elections, insisting that the actual delegates who will vote are the most important measure of his chances.
Speaking to Isaac Addae on Morning Starr on Starr FM, Kwame Prempeh said he has never taken Global InfoAnalytics’ analysis seriously, arguing that some of the conclusions drawn by the research firm do not correspond with the data it presents.
“I have never taken Global Analytics seriously. That’s the honest truth,” he said.
He said he had examined several analyses by the firm and found what he considers inconsistencies between the data presented and the conclusions reached.
“I don’t take their analysis sometimes by the data that they present. I’ve gone through a lot of their analysis and I truly believe that their analysis does not back the data that they sometimes did and so present,” he added.
Kwame Prempeh cited previous analysis of the electoral strength of the NDC and NPP as an example of why he remains sceptical about the firm’s assessments.
He argued that historical voting patterns and the actual strength of political parties in different regions should be taken into account when assessing electoral prospects.
“We know where the strength of all the parties are,” he said.
He also questioned aspects of the analysis concerning the NPP’s electoral history, arguing that the party had previously won a presidential election despite not winning the Greater Accra Region.
For him, the most important factor in the
NPP national organiser contest is the decision of delegates who will actually cast their ballots.
“The most important thing is what the people are going to vote for,” he stressed.
Kwame Prempeh said his campaign had conducted its own internal assessment after travelling across the country and engaging delegates and party executives.
He said the assessment was based on engagements with the “actual delegates” who would vote, rather than selected respondents.
“Our own research internally after we have visited the place with the actual delegates, with the actual people who are going to vote, not just the pick and choose, with the actual numbers. It is looking very bright, very, very bright, I must say,” he said.
He added that his nationwide campaign had allowed him to explain his strategy and vision for reorganising the NPP ahead of the 2028 elections.
According to him, his proposed approach involves restructuring and reorganising the party, alongside innovative strategies aimed at positioning the NPP ahead of the next general election.
Kwame Prempeh said although he was relatively unknown to some delegates when he began the campaign, his engagements across the country had changed perceptions about his candidature.
“This is my first time. No people know me. It was the first time hearing my message and everywhere that I have gone,” he said.
He claimed that his internal assessments now showed encouraging support for his candidature, describing himself as a “formidable candidate.”
Kwame Prempeh added that the ultimate test of the contest would be the decision of delegates at the ballot box, rather than external surveys or analysis
