A new survey conducted by Gariba Consult ahead of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) regional executive elections has tipped Alhaji Ibrahim Abdul Jalil, popularly known as Ariski, to win the party chairmanship race, polling him as the frontrunner in the race.

The poll, which sampled the opinions of 100 constituency executives across the region, suggests a high-stakes battle in the Northern Region.

However, Ariski holds a narrow lead with 27% of the respondents pledging their support to him. He is closely followed by the Acting Regional Chairman, Chairman Gbewaa, who secured 24.7% of the projected votes with Godfred Apasinaba Wumbei, famously known as Yellow-man, polling 13.5% support in the early polls.

The outcome of this survey, indicates that the race remains wide open and unpredictable as a significant 34.8% of respondents stated they are undecided, meaning the candidates have a massive task ahead to win over the “silent majority” before the delegates’ congress.

The Gariba Consult survey was conducted between April 20 and April 23, 2026 across all 18 constituencies of the Northern Region.

An Entrepreneur cum Renowned Contractor, Alhaj Fuzak, has assured that NDC will snatch the Tolon seat from the NPP come the 2028 general elections through his own influence.

According to the Contractor, NPP does not deserve to hold on to the seat under the stewardship of the current MP, Hon.Alhaj Iddrisu Habib given the massive following of NDC in the Tolon Constituency, promising to push resources into the constituency to ensure that NDC wins back the seat after missing out in the two previous Parliamentary elections.

Speaking on DM TV in an interview, Alhaj Fuzak attributed the loss of the seat in the 2024 elections to the shooting incident that occurred on the voting day, claiming that the majority of NDC sympathizers refused to show up to vote due to fear and panic after the shooting incident which claimed a life in Nyankpala.

He also cited a difficulty they encountered in Chirifoyili, an NPP-dominated community as another factor militating against the party’s victory.

During the interview, Alhaj Fuzak noted that under no circumstance should NDC lose the Tolon seat to the NPP considering the numbers the party had in the Constituency, alleging that intimidation has always been the winning tool of the NPP due to the collation center being situated in Tolon – a stronghold for the Incumbent MP.

He said that intimidation alone during the election and collation process contributes to 70 percent of their opponents’ victory.

Speaking in Dagbani, Alhaj Fuzak said, looking at the demographics of Tolon, “NPP doesn’t have the numbers to always win the seat. They have few areas as their strongholds. These include Tolon, Chirifoyili, Yoɣu, Jagidooyili, and a few other communities. But take communities like Nyankpala, Ligbun, and Kasuliyili which are predominantly NDC strongholds, outweigh the voting populace in the NPP’s strongholds”.
