As Ayawaso East prepares for a crucial by-election on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, a wave of anticipation has swept across the constituency.
The contest, triggered by the recent passing of MP Mahama Naser Toure, is already shaping up to be a decisive moment for the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
According to a fresh opinion poll by Global InfoAnalytics, NDC parliamentary hopeful Baba Jamal stands out as the clear frontrunner. The survey, conducted between February 28 and March 1 among 972 registered voters, reveals Jamal’s commanding lead: he is projected to claim 75 percent of the vote, leaving his nearest competitor, Baba Ali of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), far behind with 21 percent.
Independent candidate Umaru Sanda Muhammed, once a member of the NDC, is forecast to garner about 3 percent of the votes. Other aspirants, Ibrahim Iddrisu and David, are expected to record less than one percent each, according to the poll.
The by-election was necessitated by the passing of Mahama Naser Toure in January, who died while receiving treatment at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital. His absence has set the stage for a new chapter in Ayawaso East’s political story, with voters now weighing their options ahead of the polls.
With less than a day to go, the numbers suggest Baba Jamal is on course for a sweeping victory, barring any late surprises at the ballot box.
