Ignore Partisan "Polls" -PPP

- No One Has Even One Vote Today

Our attention has been drawn to reports in the media about results purported to have been obtained from so-called polls conducted by Individuals and foreign-based organisations. These are propaganda polls of value only to their sponsors. We urge all Ghanaians to ignore these partisan polls deliberately calculated to throw dust in the eyes of the people so that two political parties can continue to use intimidation, steal and buy votes then declare the results "free and fair".

We know the newspapers and media outlets who are condoning such intellectual dishonesty. Ghanaians are wide awake and will not allow the dictatorship of the NDC and NPP to prevail once more. Ghana will not go backwards and risk becoming a one party state.

The vote - the power - is firmly in the hands of the people. No one today has even one vote. The PPP trusts the wisdom of the Ghanaian people to see through these orchestrated, biased personal opinions masquerading as opinion polls done with professional integrity. The hypocrisy of some leaders who will sign a peace agreement and look on unconcerned just hours later while their supporters shoot, stab and intimidate people whose only crime is to belong to opposing political parties is beyond belief. Ghanaians must reject the warmongers on Friday!
