I am baffled by the opinion poll conducted by CEPRASS ahead of the National Assembly Election on Saturday.

This poll doesn’t represent the current political realities on the ground as the targeted base opinions are farfetched from the reality on the ground.

This election is not one that is base on party line or one that it outcome can be predicted base on the recently Presidential election. We have seen members of political parties shifting their support to candidates of other parties and independents base on individual competency. The general beliefs on this election is about the competency of an individual and one who can hold the government accountable to encourage the spirit of check and balance.

CEPRASS election polls has never been closed to the outcome of any election result as the last Mayoral election their prediction ranking was an opposite to the final outcome which Rugie Malick Lowe turned out to emerge victorious when Ebou Faye was predicted as the winner.

The target members to generate polls result are less than 1% of the electorates in a constituency, so on that background it is baseless to come up with a polls that no one can justify or seeing it happening.

In my house to house campaign I have visited almost all the compounds in Jeshwang Constituency and in my encounter no one knows th existence of such polls, so this beg the question how did they arrive to such a false conclusion?

I urge oppositions to remain firm and know that this poll wouldn’t influent anything to the outcome of the National assembly Election. We are the ones have direct contacts with almost all the electorates.

This is a failed poll or strategy to fool the masses into falling for it, but wouldn’t happen.

Thank you.
