President John Dramani Mahama’s approval ratings, once seen as untouchable, are beginning to slide. A fresh survey by Global InfoAnalytics shows that between July and September 2025, public confidence in the President and his administration declined, even though he still commands strong nationwide support.
The data revealed that Mahama’s job approval dropped from 73 percent in July to 67 percent in September. Disapproval grew to 22 percent, while 11 percent of voters remained undecided. Every region, however, still registered majority support for his leadership.
Perceptions of the nation’s progress also shifted. While most Ghanaians still believe the country is on the right path, the percentage fell from 71 to 66 during the same period.
Government performance received mixed reviews: 18 percent called it excellent, 54 percent rated it good or very good, 12 percent said it was average, and 16 percent described it as poor or very poor. Dissatisfaction grew by five points since the last poll, signalling that citizens are watching the administration more critically.
Analysts warn that although Mahama remains popular, political goodwill can fade quickly, especially on sensitive issues such as illegal mining. The findings echo earlier caution that the ruling NDC must not underestimate rising voter scrutiny.
Meanwhile, the Ghana Police Service has announced promotions for 12 officers who dismantled a notorious robbery gang targeting rural banks across five regions. The six-month operation resulted in 10 arrests and the deaths of three suspects.
Those promoted included three Chief Inspectors elevated to Assistant Superintendents, three Inspectors to Chief Inspectors, two Sergeants to Inspectors, one Corporal to Sergeant, and three Constables to Lance Corporals. The achievement is being hailed as a rare moment of integrity and effectiveness in a service often accused of corruption.
