Dr Asah Asante shared his views while assessing the strengths and weaknesses of leading contenders in the ongoing flagbearer contest. He acknowledged that opinion polls currently favour Dr Bawumia, noting that many of the surveys are based on scientific methods. Dr Asah Asante explained that a candidate may look strong on posters and surveys but still struggle to convince voters during a general election. Dr Asah Asante explained that even if Dr Bawumia was not directly responsible for some of these issues, his association with the former government would work against him. Dr Asah Asante concluded that both leading contenders have strengths, but they also carry political baggage that opponents are likely to exploit in a general election contest.
