Pollster Ben Ephson says his yet-to-be-released polls
confirm the Economist Intelligence Unit’s prediction that the
December polls will be a close race between President John Mahama
and Nana Akufo-Addo.
The Economist Intelligence Unit in its October report
predicts that President John Mahama is the slight favourite
in the December polls.
The report said the power of incumbency will also give some
advantage to the NDC especially in terms of spending the early oil
windfall.
Though Mr Ephson says it will be a closely contested race he
thinks it is too early to predict who will be in the
lead.
He says the posturing of Ex-President Rawlings towards the
NDC and how much sympathy memories Ghanaians have over the death of
President Mills may be critical factors leading up to the December
polls.
“We cannot make any definite statement that the NDC is going
to win but it is very close but unless we finish, it could be
anybody’s game”, he said adding “I don’t think that incumbency
plays a vital part.”
He said the parties need to tell their stories well if they
want the chance to lead the nation as Ghanaians have become very
sophisticated and would want to hear a lot more of the plans and
how they will be implemented.
