The Bureau of National Investigation (BNI) has denied conducting a nationwide poll which puts the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) ahead of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) going into the 2016 elections.
According to a local media report, the purported BNI survey report gave the NPP 51.85%, while the NDC garnered some 41.52% with the rest going to the other contesting parties in the upcoming 2016 elections.
“We wish to categorically state on record that the BNI has not conducted any such polls, either by itself or in collaboration with any pollster.
“We would like to emphasize that as, and when, a research or investigation of public interest is conducted, it will be put out for public consumption, if the security agencies deem it prudent to do so,” a statement from the National Security Council Secretariat signed by Col. EWK Nibo (rtd) said.
It added: “We therefore wish to bring to the notice of the good people of Ghana that no such report has emanated from the BNI and assure the public that the security agencies will continue to live by their mandate and continue to discharge their professional duties to the benefit of all Ghanaians.”
