Prove me wrong – Ben Ephson tells Obuobi
Renowned Pollster and Editor of the Daily Dispatch
Newspaper Ben Ephson has challenged NDC
parliamentary candidate of the Weija-Gbawe
constituency to prove him wrong by clinching the
seat from the NPP in the upcoming elections.

Mr. Ephson in a broadcast on GhOne on Sunday and a
subsequent publication in his Daily Dispatch on
Monday painted a glum picture of Ms. Obuobia
Darko-Opoku’s chances of beating Mrs. Tina
Mensah in the Weija—Gbawe parliamentary contest,
predicting that she will lose.

But in a statement issued on Monday, Ms.
Darko-Opoku called for calm among her supporters,
assuring them that she is unfazed by the veteran
journalist’s statistically inept prediction.

However, Mr. Ephson who wrongly predicted that Ms.
Darko-Opoku would win the 2012 elections for
Weija-Gbawe on the ticket of the NDC stated that
his analysis for the constituency is based on
solid research.

According to him, Ms. Darko-Opoku has a lot of
work to do to clinch the seat from the NPP.

“She should prove me wrong,” Mr. Ephson told
Starrfmonline.com in an interview.

He added: “I have done my work and I have the
results, yes, I predicted in 2012 that she would
win but even though she didn’t win the seat, the
President had more votes in that constituency so
it couldn’t be that my prediction was entirely
wrong.

“It had more to do with the person...I have
predicted she would lose the seat to Tina Mensah
but she should prove me wrong by winning.”
