A Minister of State at the Presidency and Member of Parliament for Amenfi West, John Gyetuah has said President Attah Mills and his campaign team remain unfazed by the new opinion poll which put opposition leader Nana Akufo Addo ahead of President Mills if elections were held today.
The poll by research outfit Synovate Ghana, formerly Steadman, puts opposition New Patriotic Party flagbearer Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo ahead of President John Mills by five percent if elections were held today Tuesday May 31, 2011.
The poll for the month of May reveals the opposition NPP’s Nana Akufo-Addo will maintain his 43 percent lead ahead of President Mills who lost three percentage points since April’s opinion poll by the same research body.
This time round, President Mills will garner 38 percent of nation-wide votes if elections were held today, the Synovate poll showed.
The latest poll also reveals Nana Akufo-Addo will win all the swing regions except President Mills’ home of the Central.
However contributing to a panel discussion on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem show, the Member of Parliament for Amenfi West John Gyetuah, discredited the findings since according to him that does not correctly reflect the situation on the ground.
He said the good work President Attah Mills has continued to execute since assuming power put him in pole position to win the 2012 general elections.
“The better Ghana Agenda is very clear for all to see the good works of President Mills and the NDC and Ghanaians are going to honour us by retaining the NDC in power’’ he said.
Hon. Gyetuah added that though he does not agree with the findings of this particular poll the Mills campaign team will nonetheless examine the findings and “tighten the loose ends”.
