    Lets all call a spade a spade, Duncan Williams is NDC and the other one (Otabil) is NPP. But Otabil is much more credible and realistic.

    Too many Ghanaians have chosen one party to defend even when they are wrong. That attitude is killing our country. And the politicians know this, that they will always have some support base, even when they are wrong or stea ...

    As long as Mahama knows he can no longer rig the 2016 elections, he is using other tactics. He should let his performance speaks for itself but he has no confidnce in it and that is his challenge. Interesting times are ahead.
