AUTHOR: MR. FIGURE-OUT----------------
It is only in Ghana would such a dishonorably idiot be on the government pay roll. Professor Mill should be solely blamed for imposing those criminals on us. After Mills found Betty Moulds guilty of judgement debt payments the only thing he could do was to move her to the Education dept to continue her looting. Readers would recall that Betty Mounds was the one who awarded SCHOOL building contracts at a triple price of the existing contract sum of some GH 80,000.00. And this happened at a time when they claim inflation was in the single digits. Could you imargin how foolish these criminal liars were. Kuffour built similar structures with 80,000 at a time when inflation was around 14.8% and under Mills it was 240,000 at a rate of 8.8%. And these buffoons turn around to blame the fall of the cedi on some mysterious dwarfs. I don't blame those African countries that have been ripped apart by civil unrest because if you have such buffoons in power who always turn our local elections into a West Africa one
by contracting Togolese Trokosis, Burkinabe and Wangaras from La Cote D'ivoire to vote for them, the " Road To Kigare", is sometimes, a likely option to kick their ass from power.

This guy needs to be congratulated if this story is indeed true. He has shown that he is a wise and good lawyer. There is no need to waste more money and time in what is truly a losing battle all in the name of democracy. Withdrawing becomes the most prudent decision. Joe thanks for not listening to the Gen Secretary who is urging all of you on to go for Oct 18 because of his own ulterior motives. My spouse says the Western Region is proud of you for this decision.

i think Mr. Joe Ghartey is speaking a political maturity language, although i support his idea, but i also would support for the 18 Oct. delegates congress to come on in order to speak to the entire electorates and the world that the NPP is the party that speaks law and uses its constitution very well and that they would use the Ghana constitution to the best of the expectation of the entire country. The win is not for NANA, but for the entire NPP family.

I said most of these candidates in the race could be classified as
"also ran candidates". They knew they were going nowhere yet they joined the race. I hope not only Ghartey but the rest including Alan Kyeremateng should just throw in the towel to avoid humiliation on October 18. The October 18 elections should come on according to the constitution of NPP, but is it worth it? I think Allan is damaging his future chances by stubbornly thinking that he can win the nomination and contest Nana on October 18. He should better give up and throw his to preserve his reputation and support Nana Addo just as Ghartey has done.

I strongly believe Joe Ghartey's withdrawal was tactical to appease whoever might win the Primaries to assure him some Ministerial portfolio.

However, it would be interesting to know who among the other remaining candidates he would be routing for.

Asabee has already been made a laughing stock by the NPP Delegates, I hear. So, we may have to count him out of the race, too, at least effectively for the final count towards the Primaries.

There we are! We have our 5 final candidates for the NPP Primaries, the initial 7 minus Joe Ghartey and Asabee.

Long Live Ghana!!!
