Obama's victory will help Mahama to beat Nana Addo: Okudzeto

The Deputy Information Minister, Sam Okudzeto Ablakwa has predicted a win for His Excellency John Dramani Mahama. He made this prediction in reference to Obama's victory of his fierce contender Mitt Romney.

President Obama beat his Republican challenger Mitt Romney by securing the 270 Electoral Colleges needed to secure a second four-year term in office. With Florida's 29 electoral votes still undecided, Mr Obama won 303 electoral votes to Mr Romney's 206.

He said on JOY FM that the problems confronting the USA were created by the Republicans and therefore, the electorate felt it was not fair to quickly bring them back after four years.

He therefore prophesied that Obama's victory would be replicated by Ghanaians. Sam Okudzeto Ablakaw believes the December elections will favour the NDC as has been the trend in outcomes of US elections and how they impact those of Ghana since 1992.

“Those who are superstitious believe anytime democrats win, NDC wins and this has been happening since 1992. I am not superstitious but it is a good feeling that what keeps happening will happen,” Mr. Ablakwa maintained.
