Pollster and Managing Editor of the Daily Dispatch Newspaper, Ben Ephson, has apologised to the New Patriotic Party for a false publication.

The Acting General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party, John Boadu on Wednesday at a news conference demanded the apology, accusing him of doing a hatchet job.

Mr Boadu said: “Our only advice to Ben Ephson, the managing editor of the dispatch newspaper is that; do not allow your newspaper to be used for this cheap and unintelligent piece, it is beneath the reputation you seek to portray.

“We demand an immediate retraction and apology from the Daily Dispatch....This fabricated and fake memo creating the impression that the NPP had decided at an advisory committee that we are going to lie to the Ghanaian people about government; well, I don’t want to believe that it is part of an agenda.”

However, in the Thursday, 18 August 2016 issue of the paper, Mr Ephso wrote: “Retraction & Apology to the NPP – Based on the assertion by the NPP that the said memorandum was not theirs, we retract and apologise to the NPP – Editor.”
