A Deputy Chief of Staff in-charge of Operations, Kenneth Wujangi, has rubbished pre-election surveys which put the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) presidential nominee, Nana Akufo Addo ahead of President Mahama, saying they are not the true reflections on the ground.
Kenneth Wujangi argues the surveys conducted by the Center for Democratic Development (CDD) and the Economic Intelligence Unit (EIU) are not to be taken serious.
Both surveys portray a damning picture of the Ghanaian economy, while that of the EIU further predicted a win for Nana Akufo-Addo in the December polls.

If one limits himself to city life; you sit in a hotel and conduct your survey, you will get results that pertain to sitting in a hotel,” Mr. Wajangi noted.
Speaking in a joint interview with Citi News’ Sammi Wiafe and Joy FM’s Elton John Brobbey on Thursday, Kenneth Wujangi insisted that, the Mahama administration has done enough to deserve another term in office.
He said though “President John Dramani Mahama has an edge over the major opposition party candidate, Nana Akufo-Addo,” they will not be complacent since “there is still some work to be done.”
“We need not to be complacent and the battle is over when the whistle goes and says you have won. But because of what has been done on the field, he has the edge far over Nana Akufo-Addo,” Mr. Wujangi argued.
He highlighted some of the developmental projects initiated by government in roads, health, educational facilities, among others, which he said warrants President Mahama’s second term.
“…To lay the foundation to this date, to me, the best Ghanaians can do is to give him the mandate for the next four years for him to build on the foundations that have been laid.”
