Foolish pollster. What has the NPP got to do with this. NDC shared motors, tv sets, foodstuffs and cash. Deal with that and stop saying they are equaling what Npp did.

My greatest solace, however, is that Baba Jamal delivered a decisive, devastating and debilitating bolo punch to Hajia to end the spousal inheritance nonsense gaining ground in our politics. If you doubt what women can do, watch "DEADLY WOMEN" on INVESTIGATION DISCOVERY (ID).

Mussa Dankwah is absolutely right, everybody saw how vote-buying was on display feelifeeli, the NDC should be ashamed of themselves for copying the NPP. If they didn't want the woman to "inherit" her husband's parliamentary seat, they should have just prevented her from contesting, which would have been the right thing to do, instead of allowing vote-buying to decide the outcome of the contest. This is the first major scandal of the government, the NDC should not start copying NPP's mistakes

In Ghana there are such inducements in every election. Bryan Acheampong paid heavily for NPP leadership primaries but yet still you were able to predict his share of the vote. Musa Danquah info analytics failed to account for this inducement and must accept you failed to predict accurately this time . 7% outside chance is not that bad anyway.

Polling is not an exact science. Even in the US where polling has been ongoing for years pollsters still get it wrong sometimes. So far, Mussa Dankwa has had a remarkable record. Vote buying notwithstanding. Instead of trying to explain why he missed this time, Mr Dankwa should focus on improving his models/questions etc. Also, pollsters usually avoid self promotion. They let their results speak for themselves. Mr Dankwa is too exposed. He is selling an inexact product like it’s the real deal. When you do that and fail, you lose credibility.

Musa. Sometimes you talk too much. Remember this is Ghana and you will have sheer haters who want you to fail due to jealousy .Stop going on radio station to radio station giving your secrets and mode of operation out . Be professional and know the Gh terrain. Remember now that you are so popular your polling predictions will be under scrutiny as the people you interview might give you false answers simply to throw you under the bus. You are talking too much and will be your downfall- Ghanaians generally hate successful people-word to the wise is enough.

Politics is about both societal (altruistic) and individual (selfish) welfare and the individual (selfish) welfare unfortunately prevailed here.

Complacency will soon 'kill' Musah Dankwah. It's not every election that you jump in to conduct a so called polls. Africans are generally not honest and will not share their true opinions on issues. The fact that a few predictions coincided with results is not enough to think that the polls were accurate. Check the projections given to Ken and Bryan in the primaries, total failures, yet people are applauding because Bawumia came close to the percentage. Very soon, primary schools election will see Musah Dankwah.

Musa Dankwa, while you have gained the recognition for election outcomes in Ghana and also give credence to the fact that the recent Ayawaso East got contaminated by visible inducement that perhaps cracked your predictions, it's simply unfair to lump your frustration on the executive of the Ndc.
Yes, we are all concerned about the influence inducement, whatever form it is, your response, spontaneously as it maybe didn't warrant the dig of outright condemnation of the Ndc ; as if they were responsible for your predictions going wrong.
That is not the way to go Mr Musah Dankwa.
All you could have done done was to admit that the predictions didn't go your way for obvious reasons of which most people were witnesses to and to even cite for a good measure, the predictions in US elections that widely pointed to Hilary Clinton but went to Donald Trump and perhaps add that; even in US where very advanced electoral poll modules have or had evolved.
Bro Musa, it's like trusting and believing yourself, even with the enhancers, and your performance with a lady didn't come out well. If the lady is the mature and experienced one, she will definitely understand and accept the apology for the poor performance.
The analogy, in the case of Ghana, your handiwork in the near perfect predictions are known why therefore vent your anger on the "poor" Ndc executive who perhaps might have been shocked about the level of open inducement for which they were anticipating a negative, negative fall out.
If you are truly the gentlemen that we have known you to be, you owe the Ndc an unqualified apology.
I suggest your future modules should incorporate inducement at all levels of election in Ghana especially those dealing with primaries which numbers that could be influenced by very resourced candidate and candidates.
Let's all work together to rid the canker of VOTE BUYING.
What was admitted and seen at Ayawaso East was very very bad.
If the political parties are truly concerned about Vote BUYING, all they have to do is to have their own internal intelligence outfit to determine the levels of inducement by the individual candidates and double, even triple the quantum of the value in monetary terms into the party's coffers as a final endorsement before the day of the election.
This can help minimise depths of inducement.
Bro. Musah, na so be life.

The win by Baba Jamal is the right blow to stop widows from clamoring for the parliamentary seats of their dead husbands who were MPs.

They are not a finite expression of your polls nor are they an extension of your outfit. You cannot therefore demand or expect that they meet your predictions based on your internal variables and methodologies.

I really do not care if you hit or miss in any of your polls; that is the nature of your work but to begin to sit on a high horse and pontificate is a disturbing introduction.

You must be clear what you are, either a pollster (and take responsibility for your numbers) or a public commentator, honouring every public invitation and proffering unsolicited advice to anyone and everyone who cares to listen.

If I were you, I'd rather retain a mystery image with little public contact befitting your calling. You do not have to take my free advice. No malice.
