A member of Baba Jamal's campaign team has responded to the poll by Global Info Analytics, predicting Hajia Amina Adams would win the NDC Ayawaso East primaries to become the party's parliamentary candidate.

In an interview with Citi FM, the man rubbished the Global Info Analytics poll and expressed hope that Baba Jamal will emerge victorious in the election.

He indicated that their checks show that Mussa Dankwah has a soft spot for Hajia Amina Adams, influencing his decision to conduct the poll.

"Inshallah, we are winning, and we are winning hands down. As I called Mussa Dankwah and told him that Ayawaso East would disgrace him, East Ayawaso would show the world that indeed he is just a lotto forecaster."

Global Info Analytics on Ayawaso East primaries

This comes as Global Info Analytics lead researcher Mussa Dankwah, in an interview with Asempa FM, Mussah Dankwah shared details of polls and research conducted by his team, indicating that the widow of Mahama Naser Toure is likely to be made the parliamentary candidate on behalf of the NDC.

Based on his polls, he indicated that Hajia Amina Adams was likely to win the election with 58 per cent, whereas Baba Jamal, the closest contender, came second with 32 per cent.

Delving into details, he stated that initial research showed Baba Jamal was initially ahead of Amina Adams; however, after the campaign began, the widow had taken the lead.

Quizzed on what may have accounted for that, Mussa Dankwah stated that the campaign message of Baba Jamal apparently did not sit well with the delegates.
