Mussa Dankwah, the Executive Director of Global InfoAnalytics, reaffirms that it is impossible to predict who will win the seat in the Assin North Constituency.
He said the race is probably going to be won by just a tiny edge, making it challenging to foresee who will arise successful.
I have no idea who will win at all. The by-election is the most difficult. Even though we have interviewed 10,000 voters, it is difficult for me to make a phone call,” he added.
Mr. Dankwa was talking in a meeting on the Perspective on Citi television in Accra on Monday.
This is in response to a new poll that was conducted by his company and found that Charles Opoku, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) candidate for parliament, has a slight lead over James Gyakye Quayson, the NDC candidate for parliament.
The poll found that 45.6 percent of respondents intended to vote for James Gyakye Quayson and 46.7 percent supported Charles Opoku. However, the results also showed that 6.9% of voters are still undecided, making their votes crucial to Tuesday’s election outcome.
Mr. Dankwah said Mr. Opoku drove in the primary following survey with 57% to 38% against Mr. Quayson, yet his lead has since restricted as the mission has advanced. He said Mr. Opoku is right now driving by 1.1%, yet this edge could without much of a stretch be switched in the event that the uncertain electors don’t end up voting.
“6.9% of citizens are unsure, meaning the destiny of the race a lot of lies in the possession of uncertain electors,” he added.
According to Mr. Dankwah, the survey also revealed that Mr. Opoku leads in seven areas while Mr. Quayson leads in 11 of the 18 electoral areas. He added that Mr. Quayson leads among older voters, while Mr. Opoku leads among voters between the ages of 18 and 24 and 25 and 34.
“Notwithstanding, proof demonstrates the way that youthful citizens could be temperamental electors, and assuming they neglect to turn out in their numbers as the survey recommends, this could be a disaster for Mr. Opoku’s possibilities,” he added.
