Accra, Aug 15, Ghanadot - Pollster and Editor of the Dispatch newspaper Ben Ephson has stated that the opposition NPP candidate, Dr. Kofi Asare in the upcoming Akwatia re-run election stands a better chance of winning than the NDC candidate Baba Jamal.

In an interview on Joy FM, Mr. Ephson said a win for the National Democratic Congress candidate will be “a political miracle,” stressing “a win for the NDC will be very difficult.”

According to him, “As at the end of counts in the 89th minute, the NPP candidate was leading by a little over 3000 votes and Baba Jamal would have to get 80 percent to 85 percent of the 4000 plus registered voters if they all turn-up, which is very unlikely.”

With three days to voting, campaigning in the constituency has peaked as top officials of the two contesting parties are said to have pitched camp there.

Meanwhile Communications Director of NDC, Seth Ohene, says the party is confident of a win in the ballot. He said feedback from the ground so far has been position.
The performance of the NDC in government so far according to Mr. Ohene is enough to make the party emerge victors.

He disclosed that “the good works of the NDC will demonstrate clearly on the ground; we are confident that based on the good works of the Mills government, we will be able to pick up the sit.”
