The Editor of the Daily Dispatch newspaper, Ben Ephson says he will present a bouquet of flowers to the former first lady Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings if she is able to get 30% of delegate votes in the upcoming congress of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Sunyani. In an interview with Bernard Buachi on Focus fm, a Kumasi based radio station Wednesday July 6, the pollster said, �if Nana Konadu gets 30% of delegate votes, I will send her a bouquet of flowers; she would have done very well�. Responding to a question about the effect a win for Konadu could have on the NDC, the editor said he will be surprised if that happens because that will mean a win for Nana Akuffo Addo in the 2012 presidential elections which the NDC will not want to happen. �There is no way Nana Konadu will beat Nana Akuffo Addo in the 2012 elections�, he added. He further stated that, �those who love Mr. Rawlings will ask themselves whether they will be better off under Prof. Mills and the NDC or Nana Addo and the NPP. That will be a deciding factor because they (NDC supporters) know they will lose the 2012 elections if they don�t endorse Prof. Mills�. According to Mr. Ephson, NDC supporters will prefer being under President Atta Mills than Nana Akuffo Addo.
