<<Print>>Head of Operations of the Forestry Commission, Charles Owusu has predicted the winner of the upcoming December 7 elections.
His prediction is predicated on the positioning of Presidential candidates on the election ballot paper.
The Electoral Commission (EC) on Tuesday, October 20, 2020 held an event for the qualified political parties contesting the December general elections to select the position of their Presidential candidates on the ballot paper for the upcoming elections.
The candidates include President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), former President John Dramani Mahama of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Christian Kwabena Andrews (Ghana Union Movement), Brigitte Akosua Dzogbenuku (Progressive Peoples Party), Akua Donkor (Ghana Freedom Party), Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings (National Democratic Party), Hassan Ayariga (All People’s Congress), Ivor Kobina Greenstreet (Convention People’s Party), Henry Herbert Lartey (Great Consolidated People’s Party), Percival Kofi Akpaloo (Liberal Party Ghana), David Asibi Ayindenaba Apasera (People’s National Congress) and an independent candidate, Alfred Kwame Asiedu Walker.
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) picked the first position on the ballot paper while the largest opposition National Democratic Congress represented by the party's deputy General Secretary, Mr. Peter Boamah Otokunor selected number two (2) position for his party.
The Ghana Union Movement came third, Convention People's Party chose fourth, Ghana Freedom Party is fifth, Great Consolidated People’s Party is sixth, All People’s Congress selected seventh position, the Liberal Party Ghana, People’s National Congress, Progressive Peoples Party, National Democratic Party and independent candidate Alfred Kwame Asiedu Walker will come eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh and twelveth respectively on the ballot paper.
Making his submissions on ''Kokrokoo'' on Peace FM, Charles Owusu noted it is without controversy that the candidate who will win the elections has already been declared.
According to him, the candidate who is first is sure the winner of the Presidential elections on Monday, December 7, 2020.
Although he didn't point out explicitly which of the candidates his prediction is about, Charles Owusu was however emphatic that the election is "about President Akufo-Addo and others".
"The person who will lose has already lost. If you turn second, you have lost. The person who is first is the winner," he asserted.
