At least u are a little wiser than that your UK chairman or whatever who was indirectly calling Ghanaians fools, telling them that Mahama told them lies and they bought into it, that was how come they voted for Mahama massively, you rather have realized the truth, the voters have truly become sophisticated and can't be fooled with lies and deceits, when you don't meet their expectations or don't deliver, they massively voted against you, irrespective of the money snf goodies you will sjare to them, the only way to get their votes now is by delivering on your promises.

No, all Politicians since the time of Nkrumah are liars and most Ghanaians are gullible, and at best ignorant. That is why Politicians can play on their ignorance for their votes.. I don’t really care about who wins the elections in Ghana because I am in the very least affected. I also don’t ever plan to enter into Politics in Ghana because I can’t tell tell all those lies for the votes of the innocent and ignorant Ghanaians. Hmm. Let us see what Mahama can do.

Ghana is a nation full of stupid people, and I careless who says what to me. I will not hire Mahama to be a trotro mate let alone a driver. Mahama had occupied every political position in Ghana, and can you point to one thing that can be attributed to him as his brainchild idea? He is a born fool.

Pelicles, what is your interpretation of a brain child idea? Is it sloganeering or what? So was health insurance the brain child idea of Kuffuor ? Is free SHS the brain child idea of Akufo Addo? All those were already enshrined in the constitution before they implemented it,all were in existence elecwgere too, so I don't get u calling Mahama a fool, Mahama Mills have 3 universities to their names, at least Atuabo the only LPG producing company in Ghana was and is Mahama's brain child idea, the man had the foresight to build top class hospitals like the UGMC, Maritime hospital, Bank Hospital, Ridge expansion etc before Covid 19 outbreak, and even a fool knows , that Covid would have overwhelmed Ghana has it not been for these hospitals, your stupid Akufo Addo spent 8 yrs without a single university or hospital to his name, those agenda 111 are still uncompleted structures and not hospitals yet, and you are here running your mouth, you Agyena, see the wretched airport you flew through to wherever you claim you are and see the airport Mahama built for your country when you were returning, how can any humsj being with brains in the head call such a person a fool? Pelicles hardly make any sense, What was Akufo Addo's brain child idea, come and tell me.

Sophisticated voters will not buy unto awaam 24 hour economy, will not be deceived into thinking that the dollar will go back to 4 cedis, will not believe that a bag of cement will sell at 27 cedis, will not believe that a ball of kenkey will reset to 1 cedi. Sophisticated voters simply stayed at home to show AN ARROGANT NPP where power lies.

We've wise up. No more lies and deceptions. By systemic calculations, my own NPP Asante and some Akan tribes have only preached division from generation to generation. Nkruma this, Rawlings that. Mahama this and that without thinking about the effect it has on our welfare and societal development. Sadly, these people our people have tried to destroy are those who have rather brought real development to us compared with NPP and their ancestral governments.

Yes, the election is over so we are waiting patiently to see what Mahama has for Ghanaians. He is going to try to copy what NPP has done and that will spell a doom for him. A fool is a fool no matter where is he or whatever.

There is nothing like sophistication of Ghanaian voters.What I see is the reaction of ppl who have been impoverished for long and their leaders are the cause.Why flagbearers & PCs entice delegates with things like TV sets,Fridges,Phones,Motorbikes ,Clothes,Rice etc for them to vote for them in internal party votes?It is an insults and denigration of human beings .Why do that to ppl who are suffering for their basic needs just bcoz they don't have any job opportunity to fend for themselves?Many NPP supporters got angry for the behaviour of their leaders and there4 decided to stay away from voting bcoz NDC was also not a better option as they also have a similar problem.

What is sophistication about the just ended election and the selection of John Mahama? Ghana is a nation full of unexplained idiotic humans else why should Mahama come back to the presidency? He was president from 2012-2016 and what are his records?

Some of us are old enough to remember what Nkrumah said after his overthrown. He said that if he knew Ghanaians prefer milk, he would have let their milk run through their pipes. What messages did Mahama campaigned on other than "Nkoko nketenkete" and do you want to tell me that, that was a meaningful message than someone who was campaigning to digitize our system?

The foolish Ghanaian who voted for Mahama, upon venturing outside the country will make a video and insult our leaders of not developing our nation enough.

There is nothing sophistication about us rather, some of us are pathetically foolish. Mahama stood in presence of the people of Ga and told them that they do not need digitization but kenkey and some of them clapped for him, and do you want to tell me that those who clapped are sophisticated, no. They are idiots, foolish and absolutely, useless.

Look at James Town harbor and who did that? I dare the people of Ga to force Mahama to go demolish it to show how crazy they love NDC. Some Ghanaians are foolish, and I careless who say what to me.

The entire world is moving as a faster rate, and we should elect leaders who can match that pace.

Who are you? "You have been following my comment right before the election and now after it you still want to insult the president"? What sort of garbage are you or a wasted sperm and entered into the wrong womb and became a deplorable soul. Who do you think John Mahama is?

I will not hire Mahama as a trotro mate let alone a driver and all those who voted for him are the garbage among us. Kwasea, when that fool was not paying teachers, he found it convenient to pay $7million to have sex with a lady, that was a good investment for you right?

Your stupid Mahama ran to the IMF when common "EBOLA" came to Ghana, and the funny thing is, it was the Asantehene who led him to the IMF. The question is, was the Asantehene part of Mahama's cabinet, if not why? And you see such a fool as a leader? Name the pandemic that came during Mahama's presidency and the wars you are talking about?

Some of you comment as if we started restructuring our economy under John Mahama. Those who love Mahama are similar to sane men who have sex with demented women and impregnated them because they think they are easy to get.

I will never shy away from telling Mahama in his bloated face that he is a very foolish.

Ghana card started in 2013. They did the same biometrics but couldn't get us the cards. Besides this we had national voter cards and others as identification cards. Tell me what benefits do I get from having Ghana card and someone not having it? You are just idiot.

@Raymond. Where do you live? Go to the US and see the number of homeless people scattered across that country but the US is considered as one of the richest countries in the world, and have you asked yourself why? So, as a nation, we should only worry about food and nothing else, right?

I don't care who says what, but the fact still remains that John Mahama is very foolish. He is too daft to lead humans. His government was in power before NPP came and lunched the Ghana card so, what was he and his government doing? Look at the ambulances he bought for the nation, what was your comment about that?

The number one issue your party should address is the issue of CORRUPTION and RECKLESS DISSIPATION OF STATE RESOURCES. I can bet that if you get that one right, all others will fall in place.

Honourable, so you were not oblivious of the naked thievery and corruption amid the stark reality of economic deprivation, hunger and poverty.
On top of that your campaign was self delusional as you claimed over 5 million students had benefited from FSHS and hoping to translate that into votes. How could you believe that, when you should know that out of the 5 million beneficiaries, almost half that doesn't need free SHS to change their lives. Yet you believed that and run along with it. Are you then surprised when ordinary Ghanaians see things differently from your perspective?

If Ghanaian voters were sophisticated, why would they opt to vote for the past instead of the future? NPP is rather becoming insensitive. Learn these points about yhe Ghanaian:
1. We think about today not tomorrow.
2. No matter how beneficial your policies are, unless they are felt now, Ghanaian voters will punish you. For example, emissions levy is good in combating climate change, covid-19 levy will accrue funds for future emergencies, smart electricity metres will bring efficiency and reliable power supply. But what are such levies doing to the purchasing power of the Ghanaian today? Don't think that the man who fells a tree for charcoal doesn't know the harm he is causing to the environment...he has no options. Did you hear Ghanaians tell you that Free Education is useless if only 35% of the leavers make it to the university and come out jobless? Did you listen to Ghanaians when they said "give us decent jobs and we can cater for our children's education all by ourselves instead of making it free"?. It sounded "stupid" but only to you, not the average voter. Your candidate, a banker by profession, had very little interpersonal communication skills. He surrounded himself with guys with very weak experience in political marketing. Let me leave it at this point because I could go on and on...and you, as usual, will not learn but seek to disagree with me.

Great contributions by Akwasi, August and God is Great. I want to help the NPP to understand the Ghanaian voters better: You can build an airport, asphalt the major roads in my town and construct an interchange for us, it is the nature of the road to my house that will determine whether I vote against you or not. So, you see, it's not "sophistication" but simple existentialism.

This bunch of NPP executives and functionaries are the most useless ever. Do they not have research desks at their various offices to gauge the sentiments of the Ghanaian voter, especially the youth who constitute the majority voter population? And were they not reading comments from the middle class who have been squeezed to the point of extinction? I was surprised Alhaji Dr Timothy Mahamadu Bawuliar was of the firm conviction that he was going to win. If for nothing at all, Assin North and the last District Assemblies Elections were signs on the wall. Besides, I kept telling them that the Ghanaian voter today, is more discerning. But dumbass as they are, they were rather singing "sisi fiaa" to annoy the suffering masses. He who the gods want to kill, they first make mad.
