Ben Ephson predicted a one-touch victory for President Mahama insisting the NDC flagbearer was going to garner 52.4% of the total votes cast.

Ghanaian pollster Ben Ephson is trending on twitter over a prediction he made about the 2016 general elections.

The editor of the Daily Dispatch newspaper predicted a one-touch victory for President John Mahama, beating the presidential nominee of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Nana Akufo-Addo to race to the Flagstaff.

Mr. Epshon's polls pegged President Mahama at 52.4% with Akufo-Addo garnering a little over 44%.

That however appears not to be the case as provisional results collated so far put the NPP flagbearer,Nana Akufo-Addo in a solid lead with 54.63% of votes in more than 250 constituencies.

Twitter has been awash with attacks and criticisms while scores more mock the findings of pollster Ben Ephson.
