Prominent pollster Ben Ephson has stated that he is convinced that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) will snatch victory from the counterparts the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Ayawaso Wuogon bye-election to be organized on Thursday January 31.
According to Mr Ephson, the bye-election that comes up over the death of Hon. Kyeremanteng Agyarko will come up with a wide margin lead for the NPP just as it happened in the 2016 general elections.
He said, “In 2016, few months to the constituency elections in Madina, the NDC incumbent brought sand and stones on abandoned projects but that didn’t work any magic at all. He lost the elections. The gap between the NDC
and the NPP in the Ayawaso West Wuogon Constituency by-elections is likely to be the same”.
In 2016, the late Hon. Agyarko grabbed the seat with a lead of 32,591 votes representing 57.32%
of the votes while the NDC’s Delali secured 22,534 votes representing 39.63% of the votes.
Mr Kyeremanteng Agyarko died in November at a hospital in the United States after a protracted ailment.
The polls is between one of his wive’s Lydia Alhassan and the NDC’s Delali Kwesi Brempong.
In 2016, the late Agyarko garnered 32,591 votes representing 57.32% of the votes while the NDC’s Delali secured 22,534 votes representing39.63% of the votes.
Both President Akufo-Addo and former President John Mahama have visited the constituency to canvass votes for their respective candidates.
