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.”

Mahama has won already. NPP is in a state of self denial. Hungry lazy ppl who think the only way they can survive is through political money since they are also being deported from America. Babanami
Very funny predictions. Nobody should tell you that that Korrupt and imcompetent man has bribed Ben Ephson to turn out this robbish but it wont fly. John Mahama should go for a refund of his money bcos this time we are voting wisely. I even prefer Akua Donkor to JM tweeeaaa
If Ben had the polls in favour of the npp would this ***barred word*** ***barred word*** man have said that, npp is full of unenlightened goons.
Uncle Ben your prediction models are outdated big time!! You need to shine your eye...
Why are NPP people so ug.ly? Just look at Sir Jogn in that picture. Even an ape looks better.
COINCIDENCE OR DESTINY. LET'S MAKE THE MATHS 1. THE PDP OF NIGERIA HAS UMBRELLA AS THEIR SYMBOL AND THE NDC OF GHANA ALSO HAS UMBRELLA AS THEIR SYMBOL AND INTERESTINGLY , SAME COLOURS 2. THE FIRST DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED LEADER OF PDP , OBASANJO RULED FOR 8 YEARS , HE WAS A FORMER SOLDER AND THE FIRST DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED PRESIDENT OF NDC , JJ RAWLINGS ALSO RULED FOR 8 YEARS. HE WAS A RETIRED SOLDIER. 3. PDP ELECTED UMARU Y'ARADUA WHO DIED BEFORE THE COMPLETION OF HIS FIRST TERM IN OFFICE AND NDC ALSO ELECTED ATTA MILLS WHO DIED BEFORE HIS COMPLETION OF FIRST TERM IN OFFICE. 4. GOODLUCK JONATHAN CONTINUED Y'ARADUA'S TERM IN OFFICE AND JOHN MAHAMA ALSO CONTINUED ATTA MILLS TERM IN OFFICE. 5. BOTH MAHAMA AND JONATHAN WENT UNOPPOSED IN THEIR BID TO BE FIRST TIME PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES ON THE TICKET OF THEIR PARTIES. 6. THEY BOTH WON IN THEIR ELECTIONS WHICH WERE CHALLENGED IN COURTS AND LATER RULED OUT ON THE GROUNDS OF TECHNICALITIES. 7. GOODLUCK JONATHAN, BORN IN NOVEMBER 1957 CONTESTED GEN. BUHARI , A 72 YEARS OLD AND LOST TO HIM . 8. JOHN MAHAMA OF NDC IN GHANA BORN NOVEMBER 1958 WHO WILL BE SAME AGE AS JONATHAN WHEN HE LOST TO GEN. BUHARI IN 2015 WILL CONTEST NANA AKUFFO ADDO WHO WILL BE 72 YEARS BY 2016 ELECTION; SAME AGE AS BUHARI WHEN HE WON AGAINST GOODLUCK JONATHAN. WHAT DO U THINK WILL HAPPEN FOLLOWING THE SAME TREND ?Cleric predicts victory for NPP, Buhari | Politics 2015-03-16
Kennedy Agyapong is a prophet and God's gift to Ghana. He actually predicted several weeks ago that a pollster would come out with a poll saying the NDC/Mahama will win the election. Ben Ephson is a disgrace to humanity and his family. Ken Agyapong - you are an incredible man and I hope Ghanaians appreciate you. Change is coming.
Hmmmmmm! No fighting over spilled milk. Some few days more. Ghanains will know the winner. Let peace prevail in the country for the benefit of our people and posterity.
is so sad that we are taught manners in schools, homes and church and still we insult people without knowing their personality. i belief u all Christians and yet insults have filled ur mouths, what a shame. vote for ur party, ndc,npp or whoever but just be wise. don't go to hell because of politics. stops the insults. Pres. Kuffour came to power with Mr Ephsons assumptions and also Prof. Mills. if he's wrong fine, but stop the insults.
Some words I hate to hear RENOWNED, SEASONED etc about journalists in Ghana,lazy journalism and they are given these names.since when did pollsters determines who wins an election,they simply can't take into consideration vote buying,undue influence, voter turn out or other unexpected conditions prior to elections however it doesn't make anything they say credible...Ben the wind of change is blowing fast and no one can catch that
