Kyerematen has a little over 7% while Nana Kwame Bediako of the New Force Movement garnered over 2% of the votes.<\/p>\n<p>However, critics, especially from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) have played

concerns about the methodology used to gather data.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe value that we place on the outcome of this survey cannot be inclusive to the people of this country because the instrument itself can create problems due to people\u2019s understanding of the questions asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo therefore the answers they are giving, as to whether or not they are answering the question about the country moving in the right direction (which is relative when you translate into another language) is the issue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor me, the premium we should put on this should not be too high,\u201d
