Executive Director of Global Info Analytics, Mussa Dankwah, says the circulation of videos attacking former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia caused a sharp collapse in Kennedy Ohene Agyapong’s campaign, leading to his final 23.76% showing.
According to him, the unprovoked attacks, particularly against Dr. Bawumia, affected Kennedy Agyapong’s appeal among delegates at a critical stage of the campaign, reversing gains made after months of campaign.
Speaking on TV3 and monitored by NewsDesksGH on February 7, Mussa Dankwah said the turning point was the video that surfaced in mid-January.
“Clearly he collapsed the campaign at the dire end of all the hard work that he’s put in. The video that was released on Monday, on the 19th of January I think, was the straw that broke the camel’s back.”
The video, which began circulating widely on January 19, 2026, showed Kennedy Agyapong launching a personal attack on Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, describing him as a “bloody liar” and urging delegates not to vote for him.
In the video, Kennedy Agyapong had said,
“I’ve never seen a liar like our former flagbearer before. You shouldn’t vote for a liar. A man who is lying to have power.”
Mussa Dankwah noted that although Kennedy Agyapong was not leading the race before the video emerged, he remained competitive until that point.
“He was already not polling enough to win, but he was there and still a bit competitive. Then he threw in this grenade in his own campaign and then Bryan benefited.”
“He was doing okay. But from the 20th, 21st, 22nd onwards, we saw a gradual decline in the numbers on a daily basis, and that was not sustainable to keep him competitive,” Mussa Dankwah added.
Global Info Analytics had projected Kennedy Agyapong to secure 28%, with a margin of error of give or take 3%, but he eventually finished with 23.76%, falling short of the poll’s central estimate.
