Poll Predicts Victory For Ghana's Center-Right On Friday

Center-right presidential candidate Nana Akufo-Addo (pictured in white) has drawn big campaign rallies
If correct, Friday's election will mark the first time in Ghanaian history that voters kicked a sitting president to the curb. From Joy Online (Ghana): "With [two] days before polls open in Ghana, Africa’s most competitive democratic state, DaMina Advisors reiterates its August statistical forecast that the opposition center-right New Patriotic Party (NPP) is on course to likely win about 52% in a first round vote clincher and defeat the ruling center-left National Democratic Congress (NDC), after only one term in office. The NDC won the 2008 elections by just 40,000 votes out of almost 9 million cast. (In 2008, the model correctly forecasted the NDC narrow victory). On Friday December 7, according to two statistical models, which are reproduced [in the article], the opposition is poised to win by a margin of over 400,000 votes and regain power."
