Hon Kofi Adams, the former National Organizer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and current Member of Parliament(MP) for the Buem Constituency in the Oti region has downplayed the importance of ballot positions in Ghana's upcoming December 7 presidential elections.
Mr Adams argued that the position a candidate occupies on the ballot paper has little to no influence on the outcome of elections.
He pointed out that in previous elections, there were instances where candidates at the top of the ballot did not perform well, stressing that the voting public is more concerned with the party they support rather than where a candidate is placed on the ballot. "Placement on the ballot doesn't matter.
Emefa Apawu, the host of the show, quickly countered by pointing out that in some cases, candidates who were placed first on the ballot paper ended up winning their respective elections.
He stressed that Ghanaians have become more politically aware and that they go to the polls with their minds made up, regardless of where a candidate appears on the ballot paper.
