Pollster Ben Ephson says anyone who doubts his election prediction is either a \u201cbaby\u201d in politics or has a \u201cshort memory\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Managing Editor of the Dispatch Newspaper is under pressure after getting his prediction wrong on the just ended Ashanti regional NPP elections.<\/p>\n

Ben Ephson had predicted that Chairman Wontumi will lose the regional elections \u2013 however, Wontumi beat his closest contender, Chairman Odeneho Kwaku Appiah, also known as COKA by over 100 votes to win reelection as Chairman of the Ashanti Region.<\/p>\n

After the election, many have tagged Ben Ephson as a \u2018liar\u2019 for wrongly predicting another election in Ghana.<\/p>\n

But he has defended his \u2018false\u2019 prediction with claims that, \u201cChairman Wontumi won the elections with money.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to him, if delegates were not bought, his prediction would have been accurate.<\/p>\n

He, however, said those doubting his political forecasts have \u201cshort memories\u201d \u2013 or \u201cbabies\u201d who have little idea in politics.<\/p>\n

\u201cI need to remind them of my records,\u201d he said in an interview on Accra based Neat FM.<\/p>\n
