In the past, Ben Ephson has made election forecasts for Ghana; however, recent claims indicate that the pollster has made an inordinate number of incorrect predictions.
Ben Ephson, pollster and managing editor of the Daily Dispatch newspaper, has been criticized by a fellow journalist who asserts that the veteran journalist has lost relevance in the media space and no longer merits attention. Graham Kofi Baldwin observed that recently, Ben Ephson has made so many incorrect predictions that it appears he has become a politician and member of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia's campaign team.
He stated, "Recent Ben Ephson polls have all pointed to fabrications. He admonished the veteran journalist to stop portraying Alan Kyerematen and the National Democratic Congress negatively in the eyes of the public because he wants Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to become Ghana's president at all costs.
The youthful but seasoned journalist states, "There is nothing wrong with Ben Ephson's support for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia's presidential bid, but Ben Ephson must not appear to be hiding behind false or fabricated claims."
He suggested that veteran journalists must appear impartial.
In the past, Ben Ephson has made election forecasts for Ghana; however, recent claims indicate that the pollster has made an inordinate number of incorrect predictions.
Ben Ephson stated that it will be challenging for John Dramani Mahama to win the 2024 presidential election because he has nothing new to offer Ghanaians.
This has caused unease among the NDC membership, with some party members urging Ben Ephson to be more serious.
Dr. Omane Boamah stated in a Facebook post that Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia must summon Ben Ephson! Ben Ephson asserts that Ghanaians should disregard his opinions because "even when evidence proves otherwise, he will stick to his prepared line. Ben's support for Bawumia over Alan Kyerematen is manifestly manifest.
He continued, "How can Ben Ephson expect any Ghanaian of sound mind to believe that Alhaji Muhammed Mumuni (2004 NDC running companion) is not a Muslim?
Such religious bigotry must not be tolerated; otherwise, other irresponsible minds may begin to request that Bawumia be denied access to churches.
Where does that leave our nation? He queried. This occurred after Ben Ephson stated, "Moslems have realized that the NDC does not take them seriously, as the NDC does not even accept Muslims as running mates."
