Ben Ephson, the Editor of Daily Dispatch newspaper, has stated that, it will be difficult for Dr Kwabena Duffuor to get 20 per cent of the total votes cast when he decides to contest former President John Dramani Mahama for the NDC flagbearership position.
Many have predicted that the astute Businessman will be contesting former President Mahama for the flagbearership of the NDC.

Ephson told Starr FM on Monday, October 4, 2021, that Dr Duffuor “will struggle to get 20 per cent...remember in 2018 Mahama got 95 per cent of the votes.”
