The survey, conducted between August 27 and 28 with a representative sample of 2,050 registered voters, places Baidoo ahead with 53% support. His closest contender, Solomon K. Asumadu of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), secured 47%.

The by-election was triggered by the unfortunate passing of NPP MP Ernest Kumi on July 7, leaving the Akwatia parliamentary seat vacant. The constituency, long regarded as a swing seat, is now shaping up as a decisive battleground and an early indicator of voter sentiment heading into the 2028 general elections.

Beyond party loyalty, the survey highlights that unemployment, economic difficulties, and limited access to social amenities are the key issues influencing voter decisions in Akwatia.

Global InfoAnalytics, however, cautioned that the role of undecided voters remains significant. Their final choices could either cement Baidoo’s lead or narrow the margin in favor of Asumadu as election day approaches.

The International Central Gospel Church (ICGC) launches Greater Works 2025 today, August 4, at Christ Temple East in Teshie, drawing thousands from Ghana and beyond for a five-day spiritual summit. Led by Dr. Mensa Otabil, the conference, running through August 8, blends worship, teaching, and prophetic ministry to inspire faith and impact, as announced on ICGC’s official site.

Dr. Otabil shared that Greater Works evolved from ICGC’s Spiritual Emphasis Month, growing into a global movement for spiritual depth. “People are hungry for real answers, not shallow hype,” he told JoyNews. The event features morning sessions (9:00 AM) for biblical teaching and evening sessions (5:00 PM) for worship and impartation, catering to diverse attendees.

This year’s speakers include Bishop Tudor Bismark, Bishop Mike Okonkwo, Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo, and first-timer Pastor Paul Adefarasin from House on the Rock. Worship leaders like Nathaniel Bassey, Dunsin Oyekan, Joe Mettle, and Edwin Dadson, backed by Christ Temple East Choirs, promise powerful sessions.

ICGC offers free transportation from Accra pick-up points, detailed on their social media, ensuring accessibility. Following ICGC’s 40 Days of Power, Greater Works 2025 aims to equip believers for purpose and impact. Join the movement and stay updated!
