A majority of Ghanaians believe the country should be led by younger leaders, according to the latest June 2026 tracking poll conducted by Global InfoAnalytics.
The survey found that 57 percent of respondents support the idea of younger leaders taking up national leadership positions, while 26 percent opposed it. Nineteen percent of respondents said they had no opinion.
The poll also explored public perceptions regarding the age of presidential candidates. Forty-six percent of respondents indicated that individuals above the age of 65 are too old to be elected president. Another 36 percent said those aged between 50 and 64 years are also too old for the position.
However, 21 percent of respondents maintained that age should not be a determining factor in choosing a national leader.
Regional data from the survey showed that voters in most parts of the country favor younger leaders. The exceptions were the Ashanti, Bono, and Western North regions, where support for younger leadership was comparatively lower.
Global InfoAnalytics surveyed 8,784 voters across all 16 regions and 84 constituencies. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.5 percent at a 99 percent confidence level.
The findings add to ongoing discussions about generational change and leadership succession in Ghana’s political landscape.
