The Communications Director at the office of the President, Koku Anyidoho has made mockery of a recent poll giving president Mills about 70% of votes in the NDC's July congress.
The poll, conducted by Synovate Ghana also predicted the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, Nana Akofu-Addo would beat President Mills if elections were conducted in May.
But Koku Anyidoho believes the poll is simply a joke.
According to him a day old baby knows that President Mills will get more than seven percent in the upcoming July congress of the ruling NDC.
Speaking to Asempa FM’s current affairs programme Ekosii Sen Koku Anyidoho said the pollsters, Synovate do not deserve any applause because, in his opinion, nobody needs a scientific study to predict a landslide victory for president mills in the impending July congress.
“Even a new born baby today will know that President Mills when he goes to congress in July will get over 70 percent, you don’t need any scientific analysis to know that President Mills will get more than 70 percent. So if Synovate has done that research, they deserve no applause because like I’m saying, a day old baby can do that assessment so Synovate has done nothing.
"In 2006, with 4 contestants, and in those days with the height of NPP propaganda at its apogee in terms of Prof. being a dead man, a dead man walking, Prof. Mills is a poodle, discerning NDC delegates went to congress on 22nd December 2006 in Legon and President Mills came out with 81.4 percent, the highest so far in any delegates' congress in the country. Those were the days when President Mills was put in a coffin and buried more than a hundred times.
"Now today when the man is strong and working, with all the things that are happening, that even in the home town of Nana Akufo-Addo, they are seeing the good work that President Mills is doing why would President Mills go for a delegate congress and get less than 70 percent; certainly he is even getting more than 81.4 percent” he added.
He believes none of the candidates of the upcoming July congress can match the President so Synovate’s poll is needless.
Synovate’s recent polls has tipped president mills at getting over 70 percent of the total votes whiles predicting 16 percent for Nana Konadu but Koku believes it is not authentic.
The media researchers/pollsters, formerly Steadman Group, said if elections were held in May, president Mills would lose.
The opinion poll which is the second in two months, said if elections were held in May, Nana Akuffo-Addo would maintain his 43 percent obtained in the April poll and president mills trailing behind with three points.
