Ben Ephson before the elections predicted President John Mahama as the winner of the polls.

Pollster Ben Ephson said he was wrong with his predictions in the presidential and parliamentary elections.

According to him, "there is no pollster who will say that my projections are cut in stone and when I go wrong."

He said, his latest poll indicates the National Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate will win by 52.4% while the New Patriotic Party’s Nana Akufo-Addo will secure 45.9% with the other parties claiming a meagre 1.7%.

The Managing Editor of the Daily Dispatch had earlier in October predicted that this year’s presidential and parliamentary election will produce more rejected ballots.

But following the results, Nana Addo is leading in the Presidential polls. Ben Ephson was attacked by members of the opposition party with some youth trooping to his house to demand answers.

In an interview on GHOne TV with Nana Aba Anamoah, he said, "You see, I take pride in the work I do and I thank Ghanaians for equaling my opinion polls to the word of God."

"I’m not God. If I’ve done five polls and I’m wrong in the fifth one, yes I’m wrong. It does not mean that I will not reconsider what we did and readjust. I think in 1996 I got it wrong and readjusted and I did well in four elections. If I am wrong, I will readjust and move on," he added.
