VEEP cautions against unscientific polls on results of upcoming elections                                    

Vice President Kwesi Amissah-Arthur has described as spurious some of the election opinion polls which have declared some political parties winners of the 2016 election.  

He said such polls make followers of the political parties who do not understand the polls to believe that their party has won the election and so if events do not go that way, they conclude that the Electoral Commission has stolen the verdict for another political party and therefore resort to violence.  

He said this goes to discredit the integrity of the Commission and the outcome of the election.

He therefore cautioned the   intellectuals behind such polls to be wary of the impact of their spurious polls on the country.

Vice President Amissah-Arthur said this on the third day of his four day campaign tour of the Central Region when he inaugurated a 916 thousand cedi girls’ dormitory for the Enyan Abaasah Technical Institute in the Ajumako-Enyan- Essiam constituency.

Vice President Amissah-Arthur also added his voice to calls on political parties and their activists to stop making unfounded and allegations and vile criticism of the Electoral Commission.

He said all these are calculated to undermine the credibility and integrity of the commission. 

He cautioned those behind it to stop it and rather consider how best they can help the Electoral Commission to deliver a free, transparent and credible election on December 7.

On the Enyan Abaasah Technical Institute, Vice President Amissah-Arthur assured the traditional and the authorities of the school of government’s support to make it one of the best in the country.

The girls dormitory has the capacity to admit more than 500 boarders. 

The authorities appealed for a boy’s dormitory, a vehicle and other facilities. 

Meanwhile, the Vice President’s touching base campaign tour of the Central Region took him to the Gomoa Central, Ajumako-Enyan-Essiam and Mfantsiman constituencies. 

He paid courtesy calls on traditional authorities and addressed mini rallies. 

He encouraged the NDC supporters to go all out on December 7 and vote massively for President Mahama and all the parliamentary candidates of the party.
