You're as dishonest as they come in Ghana Mr. Ephson. You cannot mask your hatred for Nkrumah and the CPP any which way by making a rather silly statement without a shred of evidence. How many people of the same family tree do we know in Ghana to have attempted running for the office of Ghana's presidency?

We are threading on dangerous grounds in Ghana when people make political and or tribal motivated claims, assertions and predictions without fear.

You are right on that,that has not even be attempted in Ghana before for him to say dynasty doesn't work in Ghana but this is not a hatred for Nkrumah and for your information,Nkrumah is not a founding member let alone a founder of that useless,mushroom party they are calling CPP,Nkrumah has nothing to do with that party,his CPP was banned decades before this CPP was formed.

That woman cannot be president of Ghana,her performance will be more terrible than that of Abu Sakara,nobody will waste his votes on her,we are a serious country,we are not jokers to vote for jokers.
You guys in CPP if you are that smart you will not even think about that lady let alone making her a presidential candidate if you have learned from your mistake of making her the chairman of your party which was the most terrible period for your party.

How can you make that lady a presidential candidate when she couldn't keep a parliamentary seat in her hometown beyond one term?

You need to start school from Day Care,that is where your level of knowledge is.

Who told you Nkrumah is the Founder of that party,which of this you don't get that the CPP founded by Nkrumah was banned decades before some people came out to form this CPP,do you have Nkrumah's name on this party at the Electoral Commission?

"NKRUMAH IS UNIVERSALLY RECOGNIZED AS THE BEST AFRICAN WHO HAS EVER LIVED ON THIS EARTH"

Who told you that dumb thing,are you okay,did you hear that in your South Africa?

Just get lost with your ignorance.

Why she can't be a president? Are u God? I think Ghana need a woman to be president because all the men are corrupt.

being a pollster, you should come out with some figures and statistics to support your argument. not rely on your reputation as a pollster. Ghana is moving forward.

Is Ephson getting crazy? I wonder if he understands what dynasty means.

Sometimes, certain things are better left the way the indication makes it evident than a stupid rush to blabber. Ephson just missed a good occasion to zip it.

Who in Ghana's politics or among the thieves who call themselves politicians is better than that lady?

I would prefer to vote for her than I would Akufo-Addo or Mahama.

Me too! Why should we waste our time with that aggressive short man? Who wants a repeat of the insensitive and totally corrupt NDC? Samia will be far better!

Ben Ephson will be ashamed of his silly predictions!

Samia won't win because CPP is too small to win the presidency. She would have a better chance if she joins NDC or NPP and run on its ticket.

However, Samia is just a joke and pathetic as cpp itself. In 2012, Dr Abu Sakara was the toast of every One who followed the presidential debate but performed abysmally in the polls. Can samia even debate ayariga? She wants to simply ride on the back of her dads achievements but it wont wash.

An NDC man fronting as a journalist and pollster. Stop that nonsense of "political dynastic succession" does not work in Ghana. Samia has come of age and is a woman of her own right. When did it become a crime for the daughter of the former President and Founder of Ghana to seek the highest office of the land? Because she carries the Nkrumah name she can't run for office of the president,Ben? Another paid NDC man disguised as a journalist. Was it not the same offshoot of CPP then called PNP that sought Dr. Francis Nkrumah to lead them in 1981, of which the latter turned down the offer and Hilla Liman rescued the party. Stop this nonsense of destroying everything Nkrumah. Hey Samia, you go gel. You are a full blown Ghanian and entitled to all previleges and rights bestowed on us.

I know him personally and this guy can get the job done for us. Can we all stand behind him at this time, Blackman, honestly, if we want to win election in this time then we need Joseph, the guy has integrity and hardworking, he has a vision and direction for this CPP. I believe we should give him chance to help as a party and the nation.
