Pollster Ben Ephson has said majority of the main opposition New Patriotic Party hardcore supporters doubt if the party�s election petition has merit to be upheld by the Supreme Court. Presidential Candidate Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, together with his running mate Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and the party�s National Chairman, Jake Obetsebi-Lamptey, is challenging the 2012 election results which they claim were rigged. Two stalwarts of the party, Dr. Charles Wereko-Brobby and Kwame Pianim have publicly disagreed with the party�s court challenge. Dr. Wereko-Brobby recently described the petitioners� key witness, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as a �clueless� and �confused� person who lacked the practical understanding of what transpired during the elections. Mr. Ephson has told XYZ News post-election works done by him revealed that only a few supporters of the party agree with the decision to challenge the results in court. He said majority of the supporters are losing faith in the party�s ability to win the case. �We�ve been doing some post-election work and from one of the questions, majority of the hardcore NPP are losing faith that the party has a case,� he stressed.
