Former General Secretary of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie popularly known as Sir John has called the bluff of renowned pollster, Ben Ephson.
Ben Ephson, in a recent poll, has predicted a first round victory for President John Dramani Mahama in the December polls.
Mr. Ephson's latest polls indicate that the President will win by 52.4% while Nana Addo, flagbearer of the NPP, will poll 45.9% and the other parties are expected to claim 1.7% in the elections.
Ben Ephson also reportedly predicted victory for US Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton prior to the country's November Elections.
It however turned out to be false as her contender; Donald Trump was elected President of the State.
Responding to Ben Ephson's latest poll on the December 7 elections, Sir John called on Ghanaians not to take the polls seriously.
He rubbished the polls claiming Ben Ephson is not an authority to determine who wins or loses the elections.
Sir John also challenged Mr. Ephson to come out and explain to Ghanaians why his polls on the US Elections backfired.
Speaking on Peace FM's 'Kokrokoo', Sir John stressed that even if Ben Ephson "likes, he should conduct a survey and say that John Mahama polled 90% and the rest have 10%, it will result in nothing . . . What Ben is saying; i think he's basking in the sunny atmosphere and using his mouth to weed.”

This Ben Ephson man is a mere arm-chair philosopher with no credibility. He is simply inconsistent with his prediction. In any case, he should not forget that his earlier prediction for Clinton proved that he is just good at guessing and does not have to treated seriously when it comes to predictions backed by rigorous analysis of empirical data. He should give us a break. He will bury is head in shame after December 7.
this lunatic has never learn an lesson. he as at it again,he speaks as if he does not have kids growing up ***barred word***!
Is this not the same person who told their cult members in 2012 to wear white to church? These people have no grey matter left in their heads. their heads are full of cotton wool

Nigerians have regretted voting for General Buhari. So your analysis do not make sense
Change is coming No matter what
Indeed ghana is really in distress....its now hard to find any public figures with integrity.with all the evidence of hardship and abject poverty with majority of ghanaians asking for change Ben Ephson still goes ahead and put this out.How low have we sunk as a nation....but anyway ppl, just make sure you protect your vote by any means necessary on 7th Dec.Bcos if u dont u know what will happen....4 more years of arrogance, corruption,killings, robbery,u know the usual with Mahama and co....please just wise up and vote them out...ghana deserves better seriously!
Time will tell no need for insults. I wonder what Sir John would have said if Ben had indicated NPP will win one touch 70%.. Too much hypocrisy in politics. The polling booth will decide. Let the will of God be done. In same country when one mentions tribe it is tribal politics whilst when others do it is common sense :)
Here they go again! when false prophets who are supposed to be in the field labouring for the Lord have instead turn themselves into politicians,holding allnights and fasting for NPP prophecied that Nana Akufo Addo is going to win l didn't hear Sir John making any comments or casting insinuations but as soon as the tide turns hell broke loose. Npp can continue to be their state of denial. The silent majority says JM toaso. NDC people don't talk plenty for NPP people to castigate them. It is the votes that shows the difference. NPP fuo mu kasa!!!
