Ben Ephson, a well-known pollster, recently shared his thoughts on the upcoming 2024 presidential election in Ghana.
He believes that former President John Dramani Mahama may have a difficult time winning the election. While Mr. Mahama is likely to win the flagbearership of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), winning the presidency will be a greater challenge.
During an interview on Hello FM, Mr. Ephson stated that Mahama will win but it is 2024 that will be his problem. Mahama will win the NDC slot, he will win easily but 2024 is going to be his problem.
Both the NDC and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) are preparing to select their flagbearers ahead of the 2024 presidential election. In the NPP race, Mr. Ephson predicts a decisive victory for Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, who is one of the leading contenders.
Mr. Ephson explained during an interview with Onua TV in early April that Dr. Bawumia has two key advantages that could help him win the presidency if he becomes the NPP flagbearer.
Many Christians feel comfortable with him even though he is a Muslim, and Muslims who used to vote for the NDC would switch and vote for NPP. The Muslims have now noticed that the NDC has taken them for granted for far too long because they don't take Muslims for even running mate, he asserted.
In summary, Mr. Ephson believes that Mr. Mahama will likely win the NDC flagbearership, but winning the presidency in 2024 will be challenging for him. He also predicts that Dr. Bawumia has a good chance of winning the presidency if he becomes the NPP flagbearer, as he is seen as a favorable candidate among both Christians and Muslims.
