A survey by the political science department of the University of Ghana has declared President Akufo-Addo the winner of the December 7 presidential election
In its latest survey, the department said Akufo-Addo will be reelected as Ghana’s president with 51.7 percent of valid votes cast.
The presidential candidate of the NDC, John Dramani Mahama will collect 40.4 percent of the votes while the Ghana Union Movement (GUM’s), Christian Kwabena Andrews, takes home 1.4 percent of the votes.
A total of 11,000 respondents were interviewed by the department.
“The respondents who said they were going to vote based on sound campaign message, their preferred choices were NPP’s Akufo-Addo, 52.5 percent, and followed by the NDC’s John Mahama, 40.9 percent,” a lecturer at the political science department, Alex Kaakyire Duku Frempong said.
Meanwhile, Maham delivered his thought about the state of the nation, warning that it is heading in the wrong direction.
He was addressing a rally crowd Tuesday night as part of his comeback campaign for the Presidency with less than 14 days to the country’s general elections.
“Our country is going in the wrong direction. The economy is the weakest we have seen since the beginning of the Fourth Republic. This government alone has borrowed more than we borrowed since independence till I left office. In four years, this President alone and his Finance Minister have borrowed 157 billion cedis and yet you can’t even finish a small road coming to Sandema. They said the money was there; they said they could develop this country without going to borrow. Today, look at it. If they divide the total debt of Ghana amongst all of us, each of us, including your one-day-old baby you had just yesterday, owes nine thousand Ghana cedis. That is ninety million old cedis.”
