Ghana after 1992 has seen the National Democratic Congress and New Patriotic Party dominating elections whiles other parties look on helplessly but pollster Ben Ephson has predicted the emergence of a third force by 2016.The pollster believes a third party will emerge from losers in the 2012 general elections from both NDC and NPP.He was of the view that there will be a split in NDC or NPP depending on the party that loses the 2012 elections.Mr. Ben Ephson made this known in an interview with Adom News on the chances of the Convention People’s Party come the 2012 elections as it holds its delegates’ congress on Saturday.According to Mr. Ephson, the break away in both NDC and NPP will join CPP and other parties to form a much more stronger and unified front.He said if the third party is able to obtain 5% and above in the Presidential elections, it will determine which party wins.Mr. Ben Ephson also made reference to some Ghanaians who will turn 18 years between now and 2016 as a factor for the emergence of a third force.His position on the issue of eligible voters between now and 2016 was that these voters will be voting on issues affecting their lives and not on rivalry that has long existed among political parties in Ghana.Since 1992, NPP has ruled for eight years and NDC on the other hand is in its 11th year with a year to the 2012 general elections.However, the CPP has remained weak with many breaking away after the death of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah due to internal wrangling.Although the Convention People’s Party is preparing to put up a good fight in the 2012 elections, some CPP enthusiasts were disappointed by results obtained by the party in the 2008 general elections.In the 2008 general elections, the NDC, led by Prof. John Evans Atta Mills obtained 50.23 whiles Nana Akufo-Addo of the NPP had 49.77 % with the CPP, led by Dr.Paa Kwesi Nduom, obtaining less than 1 percent.From the above results, Mr. Ben Ephson said he will be much surprised if the CPP clinches power in the 2012 elections but did not rule out any possibility.
