Kufuor to win by landslide

A political analyst, Mr Victor Newman, is reported by The Statesman as saying in an interview with the paper that Presidential front-runner, J.A. Kufuor will win the December 28 run-off by a landslide victory.

Appearing upbeat about his assertion, Mr Newman said an "emphatic" Kufuor victory may shock even die-hard opposition supporters.

He said a wind of change has been blowing across the globe with the new millennium and countries like Senegal, Taiwan, Mexico, Yugoslavia, Peru, Zimbabwe and recently, the US have all gone through the process of political change, and Ghana, being an integral part of the global village, cannot escape the trend.

He referred to the vindication of scientific polls before the election which showed a vote for change while spuriously conducted ones merely based their conclusions of victory for the NDC on conjectures and political allegiance.

He stated that even when many Ghanaians were not certain of Kufuor's chances, over 55 per cent voted for positive change on December 7.
