Reactions to Opinion Polls Suggesting John Mahama’s Re-election
Political analysts have been quick to weigh in on the poll results. Dr. Kwesi Anning, a security analyst, mentioned,
The lead Mahama has in this poll is quite significant. It suggests that the electorate is looking for a change in leadership.
He further added,
However, it’s important to note that polls are just a snapshot of the moment and the actual election results could be different.
Supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) have expressed their excitement over the poll results. Ama K. Abebrese a known media personality and NDC supporter, tweeted,
This is the change we have been waiting for! John Mahama is the leader Ghana needs to move forward.
On the other hand, the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) has urged its supporters to remain calm and focused. “Polls are not votes. We need to continue our hard work on the ground” said Yaw Buaben Asamoa, the NPP’s Communications Director.
As the election date approaches, both parties are expected to intensify their campaigns. The NDC is likely to capitalize on the poll results to boost morale, while the NPP will aim to discredit the poll and present their own narrative. Ghanaians are eagerly waiting to see how this political drama unfolds in the coming weeks.
