A new poll by Global InfoAnalytics has projected victory for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate, Baba Jamal, in the upcoming Ayawaso East by-election slated for Tuesday, March 3, 2026.
The survey, conducted between February 28 and March 1, sampled 972 voters across the constituency and placed Baba Jamal significantly ahead of his main contender, Baba Ali of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
According to the findings, Baba Jamal is leading with 75% of the projected votes, while Baba Ali trails with 21%, giving the NDC candidate a commanding advantage heading into election day.
Umaru Sanda Muhammed, an independent candidate who defected from the ruling NDC, is projected to secure 3% of the vote.
The remaining candidates, Ibrahim Iddrisu and David, are each expected to garner less than 1% , according to the poll.
The by-election was triggered by the death of the sitting Member of Parliament, Mahama Naser Toure, in January while receiving treatment at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital.
