Google Trends data on the top 50 search keywords used by Ghanaians on Google did not include either of the top two contenders in this year’s presidential election. In fact, the top 50 search keywords were dominated by sports betting sites like Betway, Betpawa, Sportybet, and Soccabet.
The results present an interesting scenario considering that the December 7 elections are only three months away and John Dramani Mahama of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) are the two main contenders.
Google Trends provides access to a largely unfiltered sample of actual search requests made to Google. GhanaWeb received data covering most of 2020.
In the order of the most searched gambling sites in Ghana for 2020, Betway leads the group at No. 2 on Google Trends, followed by betpawa (at No. 4). The rest are Sportybet at number 9 and Soccerbet at number 13 in general searches on Google for 2020.
Meanwhile, GhanaWeb has held a top spot as Ghana’s most searched term on Google for four years in a row.
According to Google Trends, the news portal has become one of the most popular search queries on Google Search nationwide from 2017 to 2020.
Prior to this feat, GhanaWeb ranked second as the most searched term in Google Search in 2016 with social media giant Facebook leading the search queries for that period.
