The worst-performing MP was Bole Bamboi MP Yusuf Sulemana, with 70% of his constituents rating him as performing poorly.

The survey noted that analysis of MPs' performance may carry a significant margin of error higher than the poll’s margin of error due to sample limitations.

The survey captured the views of 18,994 people and also looked at the MPs for Ghana's 83 constituencies.

What do Ghana's MP approval ratings mean?

In comments to YEN.com.gh, the head of polls at Global InfoAnalytics, Mussa Dankwa, noted that this survey was not an in-depth look at performance.

"This is not comprehensive research to assess their performance, but just a poll to score them."

Dankwa, however, noted that the findings were not to be discounted.

The pollster noted that there will be no further details on the substance of the survey.

"They [the MPs] have to engage to understand why," he added.

President Mahama's approval rating drops

In a recent Global InfoAnalytics survey, it was noted that President John Mahama's approval rating dropped by six percentage points in September 2025.

The survey showed a drop from 73% in July to 67% two months later.

In general, two out of three Ghanaians still approved of his efforts, including residents in the Ashanti Region.

Back in April, Mahama's approval rating was 66% in April 2025, while 62% of voters said the country was headed in the right direction, compared to 26% who said it was headed in the wrong direction, while 12% had no opinion.

Mahama's vow to rescue Ghana

During his victory acceptance speech after the election, YEN.com.gh reported that President Mahama urged Ghanaians to prepare for a difficult recovery.

After being voted in for a second term, he stressed that the task ahead to restore the economy was daunting and needed a collective effort of all the citizens.
