Pollster Ben Ephson has stated that former President John Dramani Mahama will have it difficult winning the 2024 presidential election.
According to him, the former President will most certainly win the flagbearership of the opposition National Democratic Congress but will face a bigger challenge in winning the presidency.
“Mahama will win but it is 2024 that will be his problem. Mahama will win the NDC slot, he will win easily but 2024 is going to be his problem,” he stated during an interview on Hello FM.
Ahead of the 2024 presidential election, the National Democratic Congress and the New Patriotic Party, the two main leading political parties are set to elect their flagbearers.
In the NPP race, Mr Ephson has predicted a landslide win for Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia who is one of the lead contenders.
In an interview with Onua TV in early April, Ben Ephson said Dr Bawumia will go ahead to win the presidency if he is elected the flagbearer of the NPP.
“If Bawumia is made the flagbearer of NPP, he comes with two main advantages; that is many Christians feel comfortable with him even though he is a Muslim and Muslims who used to vote for the NDC would switch and vote for NPP.
“The Muslims have now noticed that the NDC has taken them for granted for far too long because they don’t take Muslims for even running mate,” he asserted.

U don’t also get the guy talking has been paid and he will see his smoothly level after 2024 JDM will not get less that 56% come 2024 those who think ghana is their birth right and nobody apart from them should lead this country will see their ***barred word*** after 2024 and I wonder if anybody in npp think Ghanaians are so ***barred word*** to allow them to steal this coming election the days of stealing is over and it will show clearly come 2024 npp can talk rubbish and do their Nkwaseas3m they wil lose basaaa
Please, let's not underestimate the intellect of Ghanaians by reducing their votes to the function of religion and ethnicity. I think they have gone far beyond that by considering the importance of the political message in terms of good governance and policies that will go a long way in changing their living standards. Vice President Dr. Bawumia embodies those aspirations of modernity and technology in governance and policies that will transform the lives of young Ghanaians. And that is what will win him the 2024 elections, hands down. Because he is articulating these virtues in his campaign messages. The digitalization agenda aims to leapfrog the infrastructural deficit to widen the tax net and reduce human contact in the delivery of services to discourage and hamper corruption. What do we hear from his counterparts at the NDC, who spew lies and propaganda to incite violence? That will certainly not win elections because Ghanaians are discerning.
I wonder why the NDC can’t get it why it’s difficult for ex president Mahama to win against a likeable man like Bawumia. Ben should even put the Muslim factor aside and discuss the pairing. The ndc can call the vice Bawulier but the overwhelming Npp supporters trust the vice and I think the neutral will put the vice over the former President president when it comes to trustworthy. The incompetence tagged is stuck with the former President and I believe the vice will explain to the people of Ghana why they shouldn’t vote for the former President to come back to the Jubilee house. What’s more important than the eloquent Bawumia telling our Northern Brothers and Sisters how 8 years presidency can do more for them and the people of Ghana than Mahama”s 4 years. The ndc is hoping for Alan’s victory but the popularity of the vice in the Ashanti Region where most politically people think Alan can build on his candidacy is shockingly huge. Can any political analyst believe that a matchup of Mahama and Bawumia will not favour Bawumia? Interesting times ahead
Mr Stomach pollster. NDC do not dwell on religion rather Regional balance.The 1992 constitution demands for a regional balance. NDC HAS ALWAYS RESPECTED AND ACCOMMODATED ALL RELIGIOUS SETS IN GHANA. CAN U SHARE U RESEARCH FINDINGS WHY MUSLIMS WILL SIMPLY VOTE FOR A CANDIDATE WHO IS A MUSLIM. GHANAIAN WANT A SAVIOUR FROM THIS ECONOMIC MESS. WHO CARES ABOUT U COOKED RESEARCH.
UNCLE BEN CAN YOU PLEASE GIVE US THE DATA THAT SHOWS THAT NDC MUSLIMS WILL VOTE FOR THE NPP IF VEEP IS MADE THE FLAGBEARER. YOUR ASSERTION IS NOT ONLY HOLLOW BUT BORN OUT OFF MISCHIEF. FOR YOUR INFORMATION THE GRASSROOT HAVE DECIDED BUT JUBILEE HOUSE CAN MAKE VEEP THEIR FLAGBEARER AND NOT NPP DELEGATES. THANK YOU.
