Pollster Benjamin Ephson has said that the Ashanti and the Northern Region are the ruling party New Patriotic Party (NPP) strongholds, in which the opposition party National Democratic Congress (NDC) will play a vital role in the upcoming December 7 polls he suggested.
“I’m sure the Ashanti Region will be a huge battleground. …the Northern regions will [also] be a big battleground because there has been an increase of 155,000 in the Northern regions plus the new ones and that is hitherto like an NDC stronghold,” he observed
“I’m sure the NPP would want to break into that”, the Managing Editor of the Daily Dispatch newspaper told Morning Starr, sit-in host, Lantam Papanko.
According to the Pollster, the NDC needs to get 30 percent-plus in both the Ashanti and Northern Region to win the December 7 election, since they are the strongholds of the ruling party.
“If the NDC gets more than 30 percent in Ashanti, it would have gone a long way,” Mr. Ephson predicted.
