Global InfoAnalytics Projects Hajia Amina Adam Victory in Ayawaso East NDC Primary

0

Mussa Dankwah, Executive Director of Global InfoAnalytics, has projected that Baba Jamal’s support in the Ayawaso East NDC parliamentary primary is unlikely to exceed 38%, citing recent polling data and prevailing voter trends within the constituency.

Polling Data Shows Clear Lead for Hajia Amina Adam

According to the projection, Hajia Amina Adam, widow of the late Member of Parliament for Ayawaso East, Mahama Naser Toure, is firmly in the lead with an estimated 54% support ahead of the polls scheduled for Saturday, February 7. The analysis suggests a significant gap between the two leading contenders, making a dramatic late shift in voter preference highly improbable.

Ayawaso East NDC Primary: Polls Show Hajia Amina Adam in Commanding Lead

Margin of Error Still Leaves Race One-Sided

Mr Dankwah explained that the forecast carries a margin of error of approximately 3.2%, which still leaves Hajia Amina Adam comfortably ahead even at the narrowest end of the statistical range. “Based on that, I project Hajia to win with about 54%, while Baba Jamal’s highest share will be around 38%,” he stated.

NDC Members Reject Calls to Bar Hajia from Contesting

Detailing further findings, Mr Dankwah revealed that 66% of NDC members polled disagreed with claims that it was wrong for Hajia Amina Adam to contest the primary, while 58% of delegates also rejected the notion. “This means both the delegates and the party faithful disagree with that call, suggesting that some people are pushing a narrative that is not selling in Ayawaso,” he said.

Ayawaso East Dynamics Misjudged

He concluded that the internal dynamics of the Ayawaso East constituency appear to have been miscalculated by some stakeholders, as voter sentiment remains strongly aligned with Hajia Amina Adam’s candidacy, reinforcing her commanding lead going into the decisive vote.

“Let No Man Claim Credit”: Amasaman High Court Judge Cautions Prophets After Agradaa’s Sentence Reduction

0

The Amasaman High Court has issued a strong warning to self-styled prophets and religious figures following the reduction of evangelist Patricia Asiedua, popularly known as Agradaa’s prison sentence, stressing that no spiritual authority should claim credit for a judicial decision grounded strictly in law.

Court Rejects Spiritual Claims Over Judicial Decisions

During proceedings, the presiding judge cautioned that the reduction of Agradaa’s sentence must not be attributed to prophecies, prayers or spiritual interventions. The court emphasised that sentencing and sentence reviews are matters of law, guided by legal principles and due process, not supernatural influence.

Amasaman High Court issues warning after Agradaa’s sentence reduction.

Agradaa’s Sentence Reduced by the Court

Agradaa, a former traditional priestess turned evangelist, recently had her sentence reduced by the Amasaman High Court after a legal review of her case. The court considered factors permitted under Ghanaian law, including procedural issues and statutory sentencing guidelines, leading to the adjustment.

Warning to Religious Leaders

The judge’s remarks were directed particularly at prophets and pastors who often rush to the media to claim responsibility for favourable court outcomes involving high-profile personalities. The court warned that such claims mislead the public, undermine confidence in the judiciary and distort the rule of law.

Respect for the Rule of Law

The Amasaman High Court reaffirmed that Ghana’s justice system operates independently and must be respected as such. Judges, the court stressed, do not consult prophets, pastors or spiritual leaders when delivering rulings. Every decision is based solely on evidence, legal arguments and the applicable laws of the land.

Public Urged to Ignore False Narratives

The court further urged the public to disregard narratives suggesting that spiritual power can override judicial authority. Legal analysts say the judge’s comments serve as a timely reminder of the importance of judicial independence, especially in cases involving controversial religious figures.
