Editor of the Daily Dispatch newspaper and pollster Ben Ephson has admitted that his projection of a complete win for the NDC Flagbearer was wrong.
Ben Ephson earlier today recieved a backlash from the public after he predicted a one-touch victory for President Mahama insisiting the NDC Flagbearer was going to garner 52.4% of the total votes cast.
In a rather contradicting turnout, the Daily Dispatch editor in an interview with GHOne TV retreated his statement, admitting his projections were wrong.
" I take pride in the work I do and I thank Ghanaians for equaling my opinion polls to the word of God. I’m not God. If I’ve done five polls and I’m wrong in the fifth one, yes I’m wrong. It does not mean that I will not reconsider what we did and readjust"
