Ayawaso East — Expectations were shattered at the Ayawaso East NDC primaries after Global InfoAnalytics’ much-publicized forecast failed to reflect the final outcome, triggering debate and scrutiny over the credibility of pre-election polls.
The surprising results caught many party supporters and political observers off guard, especially after the research firm’s projections had shaped public expectations ahead of the vote. As the dust settles, critics are questioning how a widely trusted forecast could miss the mark so dramatically.
Social media has since erupted with reactions, with some calling the miss an embarrassing setback for political polling, while others argue it highlights the unpredictable nature of grassroots politics.
The development has reignited conversations about the reliability of opinion polls in internal party elections, with analysts warning that voter behavior on the ground can easily defy data-driven predictions.
As the NDC regroups after the primaries, the spotlight now turns to what went wrong with the forecast — and what it means for future political projections in Ghana.
