According to a Political Science lecturer at the University of Ghana, Dr. Evans Aggrey Darko, the target will be very difficult to achieve. We are aiming at over 60% and I said it’s a one touch landslide victory for us,” he said, adding that in the Ashanti region, they will get over 90% of the votes. But Dr. Aggrey urged the NPP to be cautious with such high targets since it will send a wrong signal to their supporters if the party fails to win. So I’m begging you, let us make this year 2016 the year of the elephant,” Akufo-Addo said when he was addressing executives and parliamentary candidates in the Ashanti Region on Monday.
