This CPP presidential candidate is a disappointment. He seems to have sold his conscience to the NDC and John Mahama. All his pronouncements and behaviour is lopsided towards the Mahama.
I can't believe pretended he was competing against Mahama his supposed cousin. By this way your comment and statement on the Election 2012 petition so far is belated and has no effect. Your contribution so far has not helped your party. You sound more of an opportunist that a nationalist.

So soaked with ignorant propaganda, many of you still do not understand the libertarian philosophy behind Nana Addo's "all-die-be-die" comment. For months, NDC hooligans were killing, maiming and vandalising, as state officials and the police looked on. It was in this context that Nana told his supporters not to be intimidated by oppressors and stand up for their right, for, after all we'll die.
Nana's all-die-be-die comment was very appropriate. On the contrary, it is his "yen Akanfuo" comment that was needlessly distasteful. But how is it any different from Mahama telling his Northern brethren that they should vote for their own; or Mills telling us, Fantis, that "adze wo fie a oye"?
The only difference is that while the NPP doesn't have time for useless propaganda, the NDC thrives on it, and put Nana's comment at the core of its campaign message to cause fear and panic about a potential Nana presidency.

By Craig Murray, former Deputy British High Commissioner to Ghana
In 2004, Craig Murray was famously removed as British Ambassador in Uzbekistan after accusing the Uzbek government of human rights abuses. But from 1998 to 2002, Murray served as Deputy High Commissioner in Ghana. Here he tells how, against all odds, he helped leave a legacy of free and fair elections in the African country... It was November 1999 and I'd been Deputy High Commissioner in Ghana for almost a year - the culmination of 15 years' Foreign Office service in Nigeria, Warsaw and the equatorial Africa department in London.
I'd always been passionate about Africa and had immersed myself in its minutiae. Nevertheless, my father, who had a timber yard in Ghana in the Sixties, offered a little extra counsel before I departed, aged 40. 'If you see any good-looking girl, aged about 30, light skinned, whatever you do, don't touch her - she could be your sister!'
Not that this was a big concern for me. My most pressing duty was the 1999 State Visit by the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, Enhanced Coverage Linking the Duke of Edinburgh, -Search using: Biographies Plus News, Most Recent 60 Days, accompanied by Robin Cook, the then Foreign Secretary. It was a three-day blur of activity, the teeming crowds displaying an uncomplicated and old-fashioned reverence.
A warning that the Duke was averse to looking at things without useful purpose proved absolutely right. As we stood looking at the strip of brass laid in a churchyard that marked the line of the Greenwich Meridian, he said to me: 'A line in the ground, eh? Very nice.'
Ghana epitomises much of the best of Africa, but also throws into relief the tragedy of the continent. It has maintained its higher education and has fewer extremes of wealth than elsewhere. But at independence in 1957, Ghana was richer than Argentina, Brazil, Malaysia or Singapore. Today, those countries are at least ten times as wealthy.
Corruption, cronyism, economic mismanagement, irresponsible lending by the West and the dumping of cheap food all did for Ghana. When I arrived with my wife Fiona, and children Jamie and Emily, Ghana had been ruled for 20 years by Flight Lieutenant Jerry Rawlings.
The son of a Stirlingshire pharmacist and a local woman, he seized power in a coup in 1979, but claimed to have won presidential elections in 1992 and 1996, despite allegations of vote-rigging.
In his early years, Rawlings unleashed a political terror on Ghana. His campaign against the middle classes resembled Mao's Cultural Revolution. People were persecuted for having savings or two indoor lavatories. Market women were sometimes killed for 'profiteering'.
The Queen's visit delighted Rawlings, who craved international respectability. I, too, was determined to make the most of the trip, by helping ensure Rawlings gave up power by the start of 2001, as the constitution required because he had served two four-year terms.
The Queen's speech to the parliament in the capital, Accra, was to be the focus of the visit and I had contributed to its drafting. It contained the usual guff about a future based upon partnership, but there was a sting in the tail. 'Next, year, Mr President,' the Queen intoned, 'you will step down after two terms in office in accordance with your constitution.' The opposition benches went wild and the Queen stopped, looking in bewilderment at the hullabaloo.
Afterwards, Robin Cook was furious. 'It's a disaster. Who the hell drafted that?'
'Er, I did, Secretary of State,' I said. 'I might have guessed! Who the hell approved it?' 'You did.' Cook's Private Secretary had to dig out the draft he had signed. After the State banquet, I retired to a hotel bar with the Royal Household. The senior staff had withdrawn to allow the butlers, footmen and hairdressers to let off steam.
The party appeared, to a man, to be gay. Not just gay, but outrageously camp. We'd taken the hotel for the Royal party, but allowed the British Airways crew to stay. Now three cabin stewards, two Royal footmen and a Royal hairdresser were grouped around the piano singing hits from Cabaret. I was seated on a sofa and across from me in an armchair was a member of the Household who seemed out of place. The valet looked to be in his 60s, a grizzled NCO with tufts of hair either side of a bald pate, a boxer's nose and tattoos on his arms.
He was smoking roll-ups. I turned to the old warrior and said: 'Don't you find all this a bit strange sometimes?' He lent forward, put his hand on my bare knee below the kilt I wore on ceremonial occasions and said: 'Listen, ducks. I was in the Navy for 30 years.' I think he was joking, but some things are too weird even for me. The lower reaches of the Royal Household are one of them.
One enjoyable aspect of our time in Ghana was the constant stream of visitors. Among them was Peter Hain, the Minister for Africa. Hain, a good footballer, agreed to play in a charity match between children from a community football scheme and the High Commission.
Unfortunately, the ground was hard and the opposition turned out to be super-fit professionals. After a heavy tackle, I went down. Result: a dislocated shoulder. I couldn't move my arm for eight weeks. Other visitors included Clare Short, at the time Secretary of State for International Development.
She was in Ghana to try to persuade it to join a debt relief scheme. At a dinner for her, a Minister had made a speech about how much Ghana had learnt from the British Empire. Short stood up and expostulated: 'The British Empire! Don't tell me about the British Empire. I know about British colonialism. My father was Irish and we know about British colonialism. I'll tell you what the British did to your country. They exploited it, that's what they did. They exploited it.' After a few moments of stunned silence, the dinner continued.
On another occasion we were joined by Bobby Charlton, who came to Ghana seeking support for England's bid to host the 2006 World Cup. He was still an astounding player at 60 and it was good of him to get on the pitch for a local community football programme. Nevertheless, I found Charlton disappointing. He was self-centred and ratty - one of those heroes you wish you hadn't met.
Conversely, Roger Moore, a UNICEF goodwill ambassador, was charming and suave, just as you would expect, with a fund of brilliant stories beginning with lines such as: 'One day, Frank, Dean, Tony and I decided to play a trick on Marilyn ... ' He was also well briefed about children's issues in Ghana and was prepared not just to do PR, but to get his hands dirty helping in refugee camps without a camera in sight.
I was less taken with Jamie Theakston.
The BBC were filming a wildlife programme in Ghana, looking at the endangered green turtle population near Ada. A group of young volunteers had accompanied the BBC team to help the newly-born turtles to reach the ocean. But one girl, in her mid-20s, had streams of mascara running down her cheeks. She claimed Theakston had just broken up with her - yet here he was, surrounded by young women, enjoying the adulation.
I had bigger concerns, however. Ghana's presidential and parliamentary elections were due in December 2000 and there were signs that its 11 million voters might be preparing for a change of government. Enthusiasm for politics was everywhere. Even in the meanest village, people gathered under the banyan tree listening to FM stations on a battered transistor and arguing about the coming change.
In the West, tired of our politicians' deceit, we no longer much value democracy. It is wonderful to see a people exercising for the first time their power over those who would govern them. Our job was to see the elections were free and fair, with Britain funding a £10 million programme for photo-ID cards to reduce electoral fraud. The exercise eradicated one million fake names.
Another practical new weapon was indelible ink: when somebody voted, their thumb was painted to stop them casting more than one vote. India was the only source of a truly permanent ink that could not be washed or rubbed off. I had also persuaded the Foreign Office to provide experts from the Electoral Reform Society. Further valuable additions were two British MPs, Roger Gale and Nigel Jones.
Rawlings's party, the National Democratic Congress ( NDC), put up the vice President, John Atta Mills, as its presidential candidate. The opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) fielded John Kufuor. There is a tribal element in Ghanaian politics: the Ewe people vote overwhelmingly NDC; the Ashanti overwhelmingly NPP.
It was clear the governing party would not abandon power easily. Alarmed that it would lose, it had the high court declare the ID cards illegal because they disenfranchised legitimate voters. But the ruling was to no avail - the people took over. Polling station officers decided they were going to use ID cards anyway.
When first- round votes on December 7 were tallied, Kufuor had 48.4 per cent against Atta Mills's 44.8 per cent. The opposition was heading for a small majority but, with no candidate exceeding 50 per cent, a run- off was required. Ghana's 30 or so FM stations were vital in bringing democracy, so it was no surprise that the NDC moved against them.
On the evening before the poll, I took Roger Gale and Nigel Jones to visit Joy FM, possibly Ghana's most influential station. We were sitting in the office when an armed posse of Rawlings's security men arrived, saying they were closing the station on the President's instructions.
‘Good evening,' I said. ‘I am Craig Murray, Deputy British High Commissioner, and these gentlemen are Mr Roger Gale MP and Mr Nigel Jones MP, members of the British Parliament.' Gale added: ' Obviously there has been some mistake.
I thought I heard you say that you were closing down the station, but we are here to visit our fellow democracy, Ghana, and democracies don't close down radio stations.' The goons left. Joy FM never was closed. However, the NDC started to think I was a part of their problem and they assigned a secret service team to follow me around.
As the second round on December 28 approached, we discovered a problem: not enough Indian ink. We had paid for more, but it had to be specially made and would not be ready until December 24. This was cutting it tight and action was needed. Chartering a private plane to set off from India on Christmas Eve was easier said than done. Whitehall was in festive mode and unlikely to sanction spending quickly, so I used the Embassy's budget to pay for it.
Ghana's government did not want the Indian ink to get in and I was concerned it would be delayed by customs officials. So on Christmas Day 2000, instead of eating turkey, I stood baking on the airport tarmac. When our plane taxied in, we unloaded the boxes of little ink bottles on to two trucks. I escorted these out of the VIP gateway, helped by a substantial tip to the guards.
The truck drivers then delivered the ink to regional centres for distribution to constituencies. This was a game being played for high stakes, with real danger of civil war.
Hotheads in the ruling party might claim electoral fraud and mount a military takeover. The Ashanti could also react violently to losing. Every embassy was updating evacuation plans. Around 1am, the results started to come in. There was a more or less consistent swing to the opposition candidate, John Kufuor. You could have cut the atmosphere with a knife.
The coolest man in Ghana that night was the wry, chain-smoking Electoral Commissioner, Kwadwo Afari- Gyan, who received constant threatening phone calls instructing him to fix the result. Each time, the Electoral Commissioner replied: ' The result will be what the result will be. I am just making sure it is fairly counted.' Then, taking his umpteenth call, he stiffened. He summoned me to listen: it was his wife. Soldiers had come to their bungalow, taking her and his children hostage and threatening to kill them if he did not deliver the ' right' result.
Kwadwo barked down the phone: ' Put their leader on.' ‘Listen you little *****,' he snarled. 'How dare you come to my house and threaten my wife and children. I am sitting here with the British Deputy High Commissioner and he knows what is happening. Now get out of my home before we have you thrown into jail!' The soldier said: ' Yes, sir; sorry, sir.' Kwadwo then told his wife not to worry and calmly returned to his work.
By 3am on the second night only two constituencies were still to declare. Even if every voter there went for Atta Mills, Kufuor could still not be beaten.
The opposition had won - an African country ... had shown that democratic change could be achieved peacefully. Kufuor's eight years as President saw economic growth of more than 70 per cent - the first prolonged period since independence when Ghana was not getting poorer. But Ghanaians chose to exercise their democratic right to change and earlier this month narrowly elected Atta Mills.
Ghana is the only country in Africa to achieve the democratic norm of power alternating peacefully between parties at successive uninterrupted elections.
As I look back on my involvement with Africa over 30 years, I remain most proud of helping Ghanaians to attain democracy. It is an example that sadly, the rest of the continent has so far done little to follow.
But Ghana remains there - a glimmer of hope, an example to others and a rebuke to cynics who claim democracy is not possible in Africa.

First, if your logic about Kofi Koomson et al. is correct, neither Mills nor Mahama should have been President. There were people in the NDC who came out to say very bad things against both men. These people either had something against Mills and Mahama from past relations or wanted to undermine them to favour other candidates. How did all the inside stories about Mahama's philandering lifestyle come out?
Second, I've made a fine distinction between NDC hooligans and the party/government itsel. The Agbobloshie murders and arson were committed by NDC party activists, who believed they could take the law into their own hands because their party had come to power. The problem with the party/government is that it failed to punish these hooligans, and its failure to do so encourage of similar attacks elsewhere, including against party officials, who had fallen out of favour with these hooligans, and ordinary civil service staff, who were perceived to be in bed with the opposition.
Finally, while the Rokko Frimpong and Yan-Na murders occurred under an NPP government, there is no shred of evidence that the NPP government had a hand in them or that they were state-sponsored. You might as well blame Rawlings, Kufuor and Mills for all the murders and armed robberies that occurred under their administration. Apparently, Kufuor killed his own nephew, Baah Wiredu, a man who is the source of much criticism by the same NDC against Kufuor's supposed nepotism?
Please, start using your head and stop running the propaganda mill. You can still support your party without telling lies and defaming others. I now understand why NDC as a party likes resorting to propaganda instead of focusing on serious issues. Far from lacking ideas, the NDC knows its audience. Ghana is full of so many people like K. Boateng who prefer to be served with some useless propaganda rather than be told how a party intends to run national affairs. Is it any wonder that the majority of the electorate, and sorry NPP I dare say the majority, went into the last elections to vote "ide be keke" over "free SHS". However poorly conceived was the latter, it says a lot about a nation if it's rejected in favour of nothing (ide be keke) as the alternative.

Nana's "free SHS" policy is a good idea. The only problem, as I hinted in my earlier post, is that it was poorly conceived. But any day, it's better to have a candidate bring forward a credible policy idea, even if the idea needs further tweaking and sprucing, than have one that says "ide be keke". It doesn't matter whether the former candidate is NPP or NDC, I'll vote for him. And for your information I'm not a member of the NPP!

one of them is not: the short man. i am referring to the akyem warlord- the all-die-be-dier.
Here, Abu Sakara is making an important point about the commitment of both Nana Addo and Mahama for peace, and internet hooligans of both the NDC and NPP are taking him to the cleaners. Even putting aside the historical recor ...

the only thing that you people are noted for are insults and that's the hallmark of losers who lack depths and scopes to engage in any intellectual discourse; be gone, bitter loser.
The silly propaganda you're doing is intellectual discourse? Really? You really believe your own BS, don't you?
Propa what? Is that the next line of defense you people have been taught to put forth these days? Sorry you don't understand a thing here; please get enrolled in a quality education and forget about a woyo-wayaa free educatio ...

It would appear that those in control of the NDC, for the time being, were bent on excluding other bona fide members of the Party who may wish to lay democratic claims to who becomes the nex ...

THIS IS HOW WE CAN TAME THE LEADERS TO COMMIT TO PEACE.
Mahama has talked about 200 SHS and the Eastern university but not the technical universities. Why? Is it because the useless academicians in his government are thwarting that effort? We need Technical Universities now. The b ...

you don't make sense.
I think that, the best way to prevail peace in this country is the leaders of the two political parties to quickly come out to announce their acceptance to the supreme court ruling, immediately the verdict is declared
These two may be commited to peace but what about their followers?Let us all hope that there will be peace in Ghana after the SC-ruling.
GHANAIANS ARE WAITING TO HEAR FROM THE HORSE'S OWN MOUTH ON "PEACE AND NO VIOLENCE". DR. ABU SAKARA CANNOT BE A SPOKESMAN FOR NANA ADDO DANQUAH AKUFO-ADDO, PERIOD.
NANA VISITED LIBERIA AFTER THE UNITED NATIONS HAD TAKEN OVER THE COUNTRY AND PEACE WAS REINING. FOR 23 YEARS LIBERIA DOES NOT KNOW PEACE. FIND OUT FROM THE UN PEACEKEEPERS IN LIBERIA AND THEY WILL TELL YOU MORE. I AM A VET ...
