Director of Communications for the Bawumia Campaign Team, Dennis Miracles Aboagye, has strongly criticised recent polling results from Global InfoAnalytics.
He compared the group’s lead analyst, Mussa Dankwah, to a “lotto doctor” and questioned how reliable his predictions really are.
This reaction comes after Global InfoAnalytics released early findings from its March 2026 tracking poll, suggesting that support for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) is going down, while the National Democratic Congress (NDC) is gaining more support from voters.
During his interview today, Mr. Aboagye said he does not trust the polling company at all and believes their work should not be taken seriously.
“You know my position on Global InfoAnalytics; there’s no credibility when it comes to them. A lot of people make predictions. I predicted Dr Bawumia was going to win, didn’t I? That doesn’t mean whatever I say should be taken as fact,” he stated.
When he was asked if he completely rejects the poll, he explained that the issue is not about accepting or rejecting it, but about the lack of trust in the source.
“It’s not about taking his data seriously or not. There’s no firm position on him in this country. It’s mostly conjecture and extrapolation. People predict; that’s what they do. Like I’ve said before, he’s like a lotto doctor.”
Mr. Aboagye also questioned how the polling was done, suggesting that the results are based more on personal opinions than real data.
“Which data? Which numbers? Every morning he wakes up and, based on how he feels about an issue, he puts something out,” he said.
He further claimed that the pollster sometimes reacts personally when people disagree with him.
“Even me, when I disagreed with him on specific issues, the next day he came out with polling about me. He actually did, surprisingly,” he claimed.
Using past elections as an example, he said some of the predictions made by the pollster were wrong.
According to Mr. Aboagye, trying to explain away wrong predictions only makes the situation worse and raises more doubts about the credibility of such polls.
Even though he criticised the pollster, he admitted that the analyst is simply doing his job as part of a business.
