Ben Ephson |
Pollster Ben Ephson has predicted a first round victory for President John Dramani Mahama in the 2016 elections.
According to Mr. Ephson, his latest poll indicates the National Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate will win by 52.4% while New Patriotic Party’s Nana Akufo-Addo is expected to chalk 45.9% with the other parties claiming a meagre 1.7%.
However, the release of the poll has divided opinions on various social media platforms with faithful of the ruling NDC dancing to it whiles the opposition NPP think he is just working for his ‘paymasters’.
Some were of the view that the pollster’s work does not represent what the people are clamoring for

If Lordinha Mahama funded Ben Ephson for his Poll then I guess it’s okay for us to also assume NPP paid their Pollsters to do same.— Juuju (@jnrkofi3) November 28, 2016
