Two-time flagbearer of the main opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo �is the man to beat� at the party�s presidential primary, Pollster Ben Ephson has said. The Managing Editor of the Daily Dispatch Newspaper told Asempa FM�s political talk show Ekosii sen on Thursday that he would be �surprised� if the former Attorney General didn�t win the slot for a third consecutive time. Ephson�s analysis comes on the heels of the entry into the race, of Second Deputy Speaker Joe Ghartey and Mampong MP, Francis Addai Nimoh. Nana Akufo-Addo is already billed to face competition from former flagbearer contestants Alan Kyeremanten and Dr Kofi Konadu Apraku. A few more hopefuls are also lurking in the peripheries. Despite harbingers of a highly likely competitive race, Ben Ephson says Nana Akufo-Addo will stretch the pack.
