I still cannot fathom why Joe Ghartey and Asabee should embark on contest they know they have no chance. Or may be just bargain with Nana, the urn-away winner in waiting?

Sometimes I wonder why so called learned people just cannot even mention certain words correctly let alone help correct people who are making such horrendous mistakes, yet I still take a step back and still take a second look at such people who claim they are learned and have the knowledge to run this country and have been granted the mantle and see the fruits of their so called stewardship and finally come to the conclusion no wonder Ghana finds itself in such a mess that could have been avoided should these people have the common sense they claim to have. The Word and and one of such which should be known is 'Voltarian' It is not so, it is Voltaian. People who have had the chance to read geography which I believe Joe has some knowledge of judging from his profession should know this the word is Voltaian and I edge everybody to look it up from any geography dictionary. Aaaba till when would we as Ghanaians and the so called elite of Ghanaian so society continue with 'THIS' So if people we claim are not learned have found a word which they would want to be know by from the dictionary cant any of our so called learned punks parading to be people fit for the high office of the land know this and correct it accordingly

Mr. Joe Ghartey, you claim that you're a Voltaian by choice, that your ties with the Region go back to your secondary school days and that that's where you spent your honeymoon, do you understand and speak Ewe, the predominant language of the Region? If your answer isn't in the affirmative, then think again about your claim. The people of the Volta Region aren't easily bought with cheap claims.

The Esikado-Ketan Legislator recounted his strong relationship with the Volta Region going back to his secondary school days when he used to spend his vacations in Hohoe. He said the Volta Region was also where he returned to spend his honeymoon when he got married and therefore regarded the Region as his own home.

Well said Ka Na Wu. Close-minded is an understatement. I would say very close-minded and very inward-looking. I feel these people are not real Ghanaians hence their tribalistic attitude.

My best friends are Ewes (male & females). They are faithful and kind folks. You have never really got close to them. Their towns & villages are clean and tidy. I have been to Peki, Kpeve, Kpando, Have,Hohoe and Ho

One of the main changes if I should call it novelty is the way the Supper Congress has been organised.Delegates should not travel all the way down to Accra to vote.It is very interesting development and it will help the party to train its polling agents very well as well as many aspects of electoral management.In my opinion,NPP will have a better chance to unseat Mahama if they present a new face like Joe Ghartey.Here we are talking about how NPP can neutralise NDC's winning machine.The question is,can Nana Addo beat Mahama with only 2 régions out of 10?Why is NDC winning all the 4 swing régions against Nana Addo?Why has Nana Addo failed to win any of the 4 swing régions since 2008?The answer is very simply because the NDC has found the antidote to NPP's campaign strategy.Ask me now,has the NPP found the antidote to NDC's campaign strategy?I will say no because they are still using the same old stuff.Apparently,the old stuff is not working and needs to be changed if they really want to win the 2016 general élections.Thank you.

NPP said that they will send all Ewhes to Togo when they come to power. So will Joe Ghartey be following Ewhes to Togo in case NPP won the 2016 general elections. Ewhes and Ghas must take the threat by NPP before the 2012 elections to have them murdered seriously.

Joe Ghartey is always welcome in the VR, just as many of his tribe's people the area gave refuge to many centuries ago, to as far as Togo.

Woti nse Tetteh ayiea, wonyi Tetteh ayie. Who will put a vote for you at this primaries to the extend of being a leader to contest with NDC. Mr. Don't waste the time. Join hands with Nana to get an appointment. This is the same as a prime minister. Even Alan Cash will loose. Unity in the party is a bonafide episode. One party with one destiny.Voting is secret for one vote is ones power

This is an effective strategy at a time when our country is extremely polarised and over heated with tribalism.NPP is struggling to unite 2 extremists camps.The aspirants should be seen focusing on the unity of the country as priority.This short statement assures some people in the Volta region that afterall not all the NPP Akan members are against the Ewes.Thank you.
