There would be factions before all primaries in any democratic system. This happened when JJ/Konadu and others contested Mills. Normally, parties come together again after the primaries when they have a presidential candidate, to focus on general elections. This is not new -- the problem is because Ghanaians are undisciplined things sometimes get out of hand, though in most other countries things are more amicable because they understand the system. I don't understands Ephson's logic, does not even make sense, why would people sit home when they are furious and are suffering due to the run down economy. That makes no sense.

You sound very sick in your head and understanding. You are still speaking about common sense. How can someone in this world tell that Afari Gyan or whoever it might be imposed President Mahama on the people of Ghana? Mahama won clear elections in Ghana in 2012. We must use our senses and follow events very well. ou can never win elections in Ghana by winning only 2 Regions. Please, stop fooling yourself.

mahama was a mistake choice that believe me most even in their God forsaken ndc party truly regret . Mills was murdered so that pepeni and ayigbe idiots could get their hands on power and money . now we all see what they are really doing soon they will be swept away and never again will any of them even come close to any official institution of state . mahama and his brothers after financial forensic investigations will be the first president to get a life sentence for corruption and crimes against the state . the alternative is a bloody revolution and war forget a peaceful transition of power as the will definitely try to proclaim victory by rigging the elections with the help of national security .This time the people will not be taken for a ride as we saw with the glorious demonstration in Kumasi the other day, the Ashantis have finally made us proud .Yes what have WE AKANS done to deserve such a stinking foul corrupt thieving pepeni/ayigbe kum Ga govt on our heads ? A whole police chief no dey see top when the people the people started to spontaneous arrive and they no go see top when this is organized nationwide with the help of all progressive political forces that do not agree with the daylight robbery corruption we are see today . If they even dream of shooting just one bullet we shall turn the demo bloody and deal with them all . We Akans are tired of being cheated and we will get justice and freedom whether they like it or not . Their police in their uniforms of brutality can not frighten us as we have nothing to loose , they have made life so hard that it cant get any worse . we are fed up with their incompetence , selfishness ,lies, discrimination and hate .

It would be nonsensical for Ghana to be looking elsewhere for money to take up such a positive venture when one person in the name of womome was given as much as 51.2 million Ghana cedis for no work done. Similarly, more than 50 million Gh. cedis was given to Gyeeda for no work done. If you talk of Sada, Isofoton and Waterville, the same is true for Mahama's initiatives. If you think of all these, no one has to tell you that Jon Mahama and his NDC goons are very wicked, so wicked to the core. NDC is satanic. NDC is destructive. NDC is the most wicked armed robber gang in the name of politics. These people must be burned to ashes.

This is what happens when a party is so tribalistic that even within the party itself, the Akan factions itself are divided into Akyems and Ashantis. NPP is just too tribalistic in everything they do. And then they turn around and accuse the whiteman of being racist. There is nothing more racist than what's happening in the NPP right now.

No US president has ever faced an economic crisis like President Obama in 2012. He became so unpopular even among jis own party faithful. But Obama was sure of victory because of the candidate that the opposition party was going to field. Even under those extreme economic difficulties, Obama prevailed not because of any extraordinary thing by him, but the quality of Romney his challenger. The NPP or sections of the party are not sure of their main contender, Nana Addo. They are not convinced about his qualities vis a vis President Mahama.

You are such a big liar, don't put things out there that you don't understand. The job approval rating of Obama was high through out his first term because people could see he was working hard to improve the economy he inherited. See this site for more info on Obama's achievements www.washingtonmonthly.com/magazine/march_april_2012/features/obamas_top_50_accomplishments035755.php?page=all

Obama won not because Romney was bad quality, it was because Obama was a stronger and more likable candidate, that is all. Get your facts right. People could see the economy which was run down by Bush (Republicans) improving everyday hence Obama's job approval rating and good polls. We can't say the same for Mahama and that is the problem that Mahama and NDC would face in 2016 if they don't start pulling their weight.

Even with all the economic conditions facing the country, Mahama may still prevail over the candidate of NPP in 2012. That is when the quality of the candidate counts more than the condition of the country.

Ben is right at this time. Nana would have won 2008 elections by "one touch" if we Ashantis had not shown apathy by refusing to vote. President Kuffour, Mpianim and others weren't enthusiastic about Nana's presidency. So some of their followers didn't go to polls to vote which has brought predicament and austerity upon NPP and the Ghanaians. The difficulty the nation is going through was due to that apathy on the part of Allan Kyeremateng's(Kuffour's) faction which paved a way for sick President Mills and greedy, bastard, good for nothing, dumb President Mahama to mess up the country's fortune.

This stupid NDC man should rather talk about Mahama's failures and stop concentrating on NPP. Corruption has gripped NDC under the basket as if they are chicken. The reason why NDC will lose the election is because of corruption and that is what Ben Epson should talk about. This fool must start being concerned about all the agony Ghanaians are going through. Ben Epson must be invited to the police station and then be questioned about how much of Woyome money he was given, for which reason he keeps talking in defence of NDC thieves.

That is a true statement of fact and meritorious. Politics for that matter and winning elections is all about numbers, and there are a lot of factors that influences these numbers. A careful interplay of those metrics is key. And each of these independent factors all contribute to arrive at a decision to either go to the ballot box and vote for a specific candidate or to stay put. Clearly, the NPP has got a lot of work to do going into 2016, and watching events critically they need to get on it now.
However, it remains to be stated unequivocally that, disrespect, castigation, vilification, insults and the casting of aspersions on the person of President John Agyekum Kufuor would guarantee a scuttling of the chances of any candidate of the NPP in 2016.

Rom 13:1-10

13 Obey the government, for God is the one who has put it there. There is no government anywhere that God has not placed in power. 2 So those who refuse to obey the laws of the land are refusing to obey God, and punishment will follow. 3 For the policeman does not frighten people who are doing right; but those doing evil will always fear him. So if you don't want to be afraid, keep the laws and you will get along well. 4 The policeman is sent by God to help you. But if you are doing something wrong, of course you should be afraid, for he will have you punished. He is sent by God for that very purpose. 5 Obey the laws, then, for two reasons: first, to keep from being punished, and second, just because you know you should.

6 Pay your taxes too, for these same two reasons. For government workers need to be paid so that they can keep on doing God's work, serving you. 7 Pay everyone whatever he ought to have: pay your taxes and import duties gladly, obey those over you, and give honor and respect to all those to whom it is due.

8 Pay all your debts except the debt of love for others-never finish paying that! For if you love them, you will be obeying all of God's laws, fulfilling all his requirements. 9 If you love your neighbor as much as you love yourself you will not want to harm or cheat him, or kill him or steal from him. And you won't sin with his wife or want what is his, or do anything else the Ten Commandments say is wrong. All ten are wrapped up in this one, to love your neighbor as you love yourself. 10 Love does no wrong to anyone. That's why it fully satisfies all of God's requirements. It is the only law you need.

Even you yourself know that you are talking nonsense. If you are given the chance to substantiate your foolish analysis with facts, what will you have to say except to say that Jon fool thief Mahama has paid you some Woyome money and that is why you are talking like a rat in a bunker. It need not be gainsaid that only fools, withches, idiotic individuals and criminals supporting the thievery party will say anything bad about our saviour Nana Addo. Nana is clean and all criminals will be put to death when he comes. This is the most reason why you people are against him. But you know what? you are not God so let's see what happens in 2016.

Ben only predicts evil for NPP but God will hear the prayers of the saints and the suffering people of Ghanaian and intervene to help us all.

After the disgraceful and incompetent governance which has brought great hardship to us all, our concentration should be to discourage supporters of NDC so that there can be a change for better for all of us.

Ben as usual will only see the negatives in NPP and highlight on them so that NDC faithfuls will remain hopeful and supportive of their party.

This is uncle Ben's prediction of a possible doom for NPP. We hope that Ben will also see some negatives in NDC, highlight on them and equally predict a possible doom for NDC. We know that it is difficult for Ben to predict doom for NDC but the international community and Ghanaians are all watching.

Thank you and God bless
