Afoko’s position
Afoko spoke with journalists during a thanksgiving service for newly elected Ashanti regional executives. The event was held at Gracefields Chapel in the Ngyiaso constituency.
According to the candidate, his meetings with delegates in various districts have strengthened his confidence in his campaign. Afoko said that his message resonates with the delegates he has spoken to. At the same time, he expressed skepticism about polls intended to assess voter preferences, since, in his view, it is impossible to know for certain whether respondents are answering truthfully.
