Imani Africa President, Franklin Cudjoe, says the Convention People’s Party’s (CPP) “electric shock” slogan will not translate to improved performance in the general election.
Speaking on The Big Issue, Mr. Cudjoe said relying on viral slogans like “Electric Shock wouldn’t cut it.”
In his view, the CPP flagbearer’s Electric Shock slogan is rather “actually hilarious and funny.”
“When it comes to the means that people want to relate with, certainly you sitting at a table and chanting jama… wouldn’t cut it.”
Mr. Cudjoe said the CPP flagbearer was capable of a more sophisticate campaign as he bids to improve the fortunes of the CPP.
“Ivor speaks very well and during the debate, Ivor did a whole lot. Ivor understands the mechanics of how a country works in spite of his proclivity to socialism. I like him so much and I think he is a definitive character.”
Mr. Greenstreet, however, maintains that “electric shock” slogan is not a gimmick.
According to him, unless voters give the electoral landscape an “electric shock” by voting for the CPP, things in the country will continue to be the same.
Mr. Cudjoe was commenting on the prospects of parties outside the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) following the pre-election survey by the Political Science Department of the University of Ghana.
Mr. Greenstreet is expected to get 0.8 percent of the votes, according to the survey.
The survey predicted a 51.7 percent win for the incumbent NPP, whilst the NDC followed with 40.4 percent of the total votes cast.
The other parties combined for 7.9 percent of the vote.
The candidate of the Ghana Union Movement (GUM), Christian Kwabena Andrews, placed third in the survey with 1.4 percent.
The researchers said 80 percent of the respondents will vote based on the campaign message.
