What a useless and thrash talk? It is obvious the party he belongs to are in bed with the EC. The EC is one of the most useless and corrupt institutions in the country. Ghanaians are by nature very corrupt, dishonest, liars, wicked, ignorant, thieves and hypocrites according to Her ladyship the chief justice. The level of corruption in the country is unspeakable.

For the hypocritical ears of NPP and nana akuffo Addo

1. KUFOUR ADMITS TO CORRUPTION IN HIS GOVERNMENT AND SAYS HE WONT EXPOSE IT Unlike President Mahama who has taken action on allegations of corruption ,the NPP government under Kufour refused to either expose or punish corruption. At a 2003 NPP delegates conference held in Cape Coast, President Kufour in his address made excuses for corruption in his government. Among other justifications he said corruption "was as old as Adam" and that on a daily basis he and his officials are tempted with all manner of things including the proverbial apple of the Garden of Eden. He admitted that people come with all manner of inducements but he only tells them to go and come next time. He also stated that he was not going to expose corruption in his government lest his government collapses and what he did when instances of corruption came to his notice was to call the offending Minister or appointee and caution him not to repeat the corrupt act.

2. ESSEKU GATE In 2005, then National Chairman of the NPP, Mr Haruna Esseku was caught on tape telling NPP supporters that President Kufour was the chief recipient of kickbacks from contractors at the castle. He lamented that unlike in the past when he could go to the castle and have his car boot stashed with kickback funds, President Kufour was at the time withholding those funds and this affected his ability to provide resources for the running of the NPP. For this revelation Mr Esseku was held hostage and prevented from attending the NPP delegates conference at Legon that year.

3. HOTEL WAAWAA In the first term of President Kufour and his NPP government, Gizzelle Yadzi revealed that she had been asked by Kufour to negotiate the purchase of an US $ 8 million Hotel for him. Of course later we were told that it was Chief Kufour and not President Kufour who bought the hotel. Chief Kufour had no business track record prior to his father becoming President and had also not demonstrated any capacity to raise US $ 8 million dollars to buy such a hotel.

4. LOOTING OF STATE LANDS The looting and sharing of state lands is still fresh on our minds. A recount of the sale of government bungalows and public lands to Jake Obetsebi Lamptey, President Kufour, Kwodwo Mpiani and other NPP Ministers and cronies points to evidence of corruption. Jake Obetsebi Lamptey bought his official bungalow which sat on over an Acre of prime Land at Ridge for a paltry GHC 390, 000 when the property is valued at USD 2,000,000. Documents available from the lands commission show clearly that from President Kufour, his Ministers, party functionaries and cronies all bought state lands at ridiculously low prices. The former international students hostel land was carved out and shared among more NPP Ministers, party functionaries, and cronies.

5. DIVERSION OF 6O BILLION CEDIS OF TAX PAYERS MONEY TO FUND NPP PROPAGANDA MACHINE A 2009 audit report revealed that up to 60 billion cedis of the tax payer's money taken from the TOR debt recovery levy, the HIPC etc. was used fund a so called communication strategy which was only a euphemism for a conduit used to siphon state funds into the NPP campaign. The auditors could not find details of this strategy or how it was executed except dubious payments to shady groups such as BLOW, PRIM, and FIRST RESPONDERS. Most of the people who make the loudest noise about corruption these days (Anthony Karbo, John Boadu and Samuel Abu Jinapor) are on a list submitted to National Security under the NPP for these payments to be made. This looting of the TOR coffers contributed in no small measure towards the difficulties it currently faces.

6. E.O GROUP SHARES IN JUBILEE FIELD While 25 million Ghanaians had to make do with only 13.6% stake in the Jubilee field. Two NPP top shots, George Owusu and Ambassador Edusei were given 3% shares which amounts to a colossal US$300 million. It is instructive to note that in one of the Wikileaks cables President Kufour was quoted as having told a US senator that his interests in Ghana's oil are being coordinated by Mr Kwabena Darko of Darko Farms. When investigations were carried out into the EO group's affairs by Ghanaian authorities, it emerged that their company address was the same as the address of Darko Farms! The explanations given for how EO group came to own such a significant stake in the Jubilee field do not wash. We are told that they found Kosmos and brought them in to discover oil for Ghana. It is strange that GNPC which was formed in 1983 and which has all the expertise one can think of in the oil industry could not find a partner to discover oil but it took a two-man company with no experience or track record in the oil industry to find a partner for us. Even stranger is the fact that the EO group was allowed to be part of the joint operating agreement signed among the partners in the jubilee field when they did not meet the basic requirements to be part of such a venture. First they have no track record of having being part of such a venture in the past neither did they possess the financial capacity to make good their part of the cash calls which are necessary for the operation of the jubilee field. As it turned out they were carried by Kosmos and seeing as Kosmos is no father Christmas, the conclusion that can be drawn is that the EO group shares was made a conditionality for giving Kosmos the exploration license. We recall that Franklyn Cudjoe and his so-called think tank were loud in their defence of this unconscionable action when public outcry greeted the exposure of this deal.

7. DAN BOTWE QUESTIONS SOURCE OF FUNDS FOR LAVISH NPP FLAGBEARERSHIP CONTEST In 2007 Mr. Dan Botwe, former General secretary of the NPP and Former Information Minister expressed worry about the ostentatious nature of the campaigns that were being waged by seventeen aspirants who contested for the 2007 flag bearer slot of the NPP. In an interview with Citi FM in 2007, he lamented how the NPP in opposition could not afford to purchase even flags and T shirts and yet in power it was possible for 17 people to spend so much money on a flag bearer race. Some aspirants could even afford to charter aircrafts for campaign tours and hire aircrafts to fly their banners in the air. Hackman Owusu Agyeman himself an aspirant in that contest also bitterly complained about the extravagance that was displayed in that campaign. Where did the NPP get all that money from if not through corrupt kickback collection?

8. GHANA @ 50 After spending a whopping US$ 75 million dollars on Ghana's 50th birthday celebration, it emerged that Dr Wireko Brobey, Chief executive of the Ghana @50 secretariat made cash payments to supposed contractors and service providers in polythene bags without any supporting documentation.

9. AMOATENG HEROIN SCANDAL NPP MP for Nkoranza North was arrested in the United States of America for trafficking large quantities of heroin and is currently languishing in in jail in the US. Amoateng was a key NPP financier and received his party's full support in the wake of his arrest.

10. SEKYI HUGHES LOOTS HIS BUNGALOW Former speaker of Parliament under the NPP Ebenezer Begyina Sekyi Hughes when leaving his official bungalow looted it empty. He carried along all the curtains, furniture and fixtures in the house. Some media reports had it that Mr Sekyi Hughes even took away flower pots.

Stupidman! He forgets about Ec and Mahama corruption in the 2012 election . Someone must ask this pepeni how Ndc and Mahama came to the presidency. It is not even enough Npp suspicions about another collaboration between the Ec and Apaak's party/Ndc/Mahama. Ndc have never won an election without fraud ! They did it once, they did it twice and will continue doing it. It is not suprising Npp is always haunting from these mechanisms ,the Ec places for Ndc to win elections , at the backdoors against the will of the people. For it is only through a free and fair elections that Ghanaians can kick out Ndc Autocracy.

Yes it began with Afari Gyan because we came to realize that after tabulation of the election results and the register voter voters to our surprise the vote cast exceed the number that are suppose to vote.According Mr Afari Gyan 13.5 million registered to vote and we came realized that the president vote was 14.8 million which means Afari Gyan over bloated the presidential election infavour of Mahama and if you think miss Charlotte Osie will rig the election with her diabolic and her conniving behaviour for you to win then you folks are joking

I THINK THE NPP SHOULD NOT GO TO THE POLLS AT ALL.
I REALLY DON'T KNOW HOW ELECTIONS IN GHANA CAN BE RIGGED BY THE ELECTROL COMMISSION.
1) EVERY PARTY IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE A POLLING AGENT AT THE POLLING STATIONS.
THE QUESTION IS, WHY ARE THEY THERE?
2) AFTER THE VOTING, AND SORTING, THE BALLOTS PAPERS ARE COUNTED IN FULL GLARE OF THE PUBLIC.
3) THE PARTY AGENTS CERTIFY THE RESULTS, AND KEEPS A COPY OF THE RESULTS.
4) RESULTS ARE FORWARDED TO THE E C CONSTITUENCY OFFICES. AND EVERY PARTY HAS A REPRESENTATIVE THERE.
5) THE RESULTS ARE TALLIED THERE AFTER THE THE PARTY AGENTS CERTIFY THE RESULTS. THE RESULTS ARE THEN SENT TO THE E C REGIONAL OFFICES. THERE AGAIN ARE PARTY AGENTS, OR REPRESENTATIVE. THEY CERTIFY THE RESULTS BEFORE IT'S TRANSMITTED TO THE E C STRONG ROOM.
6) AGAIN, THE PARTIES HAVE REPRESENTATIVE IN THE STRONG ROOM.
7) THE RESULTS ARE ANNOUNCED ONLY AFTER THE PARTY AGENTS CERTIFIES IT.
SO ALL THE WAY FROM THE POLLING STATIONS TO THE STRONG ROOM, WHERE AND HOW CAN THE E C COMMISSIONERS INFLUENCE THE RESULTS?
BALLOT PAPERS ARE PRINTED WITH A REPRESENTATIVE FROM EVERY PARTY.
I REALLY DON'T GET IT WHEN PEOPLE CAN NOT ORGANIZE AND WELL TRAIN THEIR PARTY AGENTS, AND IF THEY LOOSE, THEY BLAME THE E C.
AM NOT SAYING ELECTION IN GHANA CAN NOT BE RIGGED. THAT CAN ONLY BE DONE AT THE POLLING STATIONS.
THE POLLING STATIONS ARE WHERE ELECTIONS ARE WON.
BUT WHEN A MAN COME TO TERMS THAT, HE IS DRONING, HE FINDS ANYTHING TO CLINCH ON.
ADDO DANKWAH AKUFFU ADDO, HAS NEVER EVER CONCEDED DEFEAT IN HIS WHOLE LIFE. CHECK HIS RECORD AS FAR AS ELECTIONS ARE CONCERNED. NOT EVEN WHEN HE LOST TO FORMER PRESIDENT KUFFOUR.
HOW SPECIAL DOES HE THINK OF HIMSELF THAT HE CAN'T BE BEATEN BY ANYONE?
HE HAS TO WIN, OR HE HAS BEING CHEATED.
HE WILL BE CHEATED AGAIN. BECAUSE HE WILL LOOSE AGAIN.
INSTEAD OF TELLING GHANAIANS HIS PLANS AND HOW HE WILL MANAGE GHANA, HE IS ASKING US TO TRY HIM.

Ghana escaped a civil war by a whisker. Ghanaians should bless Akufo Addo for his wise counsel to his teeming supporters. It is a commonsense for EC to listen to the opposition demand than doing the dirty job for NDC Government, all because NDC appointed her to that position. Even an imbecile can see through the tricks the EC is playing. If there is a civil war, the EC will be the first target. Ghana is collapsing, and yet the EC want to rig the election for Mahama. WE NEED NEW VOTERS REGISTER NOW.

Ghanaians will have to elect their own leaders and not foreigners and dead people.
If the EC appointed a five member committee to audit the voters register and came out with the recommendation is bloated why doesn't the EC take the necessary action to get it cleaned.
If you can get only one vote for somebody to win one of the Tema seats, then excess of over one is bloated.
The NDC should not be the PRO for the Electoral commission.

Why can't NDC govt be honest and allow Ghanaians to have a free and fair elections? Since 1992, the NDC have been rigging elections, using crude tactics every time. They always use the EC's boss to do their bidding for the party. That's criminal and Ghanaians should rise up and protest over such crazy schemes. They have ruled Ghana for almost 27 years bringing suffering and economic decline to the nation. Interestingly, the NDC would turn around trying to accuse NPP and others for what they don't know. Just look at what the new EC boss is doing; she's just a puppet on a string, being manipulated by John Mahama and his corrupt NDC govt. There is a problem with the old voters register, which needs to be replaced, yet she refuses to heed to public advice because the NDC, having registered minors and foreigners want to use the old register. It's because they know that they will lose the November election, without the old one. Charlotte Osei is adamant; she bent on doing her master's will ignoring the consequences. She is stupid and arrogant! She is naive about the potential of election violence and her life and that of her family. If disaster strikes, what can the Police and security do for her? She better be smart.
