Coup Detats are needless in this modern times in Africa.. But can we blame the plotters looking at what NDC did in the past elections? This party will suffer the severest form of punishment in Ghsna if there shd be any.

Should it be NEEDLESS an opposition party to be banned from taking part in an election ?
Will Ghanaians take it lightly when NPP is prevented from taking part in the 2028 elections .

True, in most of these African countries the politicians and their cronies behave as if the country's resources are theirs. They assign contracts to themselves, which are conflicts of interests and also fail to deliver to the detriment of their respective countries. It's only in Africa where members of parliament are also contractors. These politicians plunder the treasury to the extent that developments severely suffer; depriving the people of basic amenities like good drinking water and good roads. Yet the people cheer them. Why are Africans complicit in their own oppression and suffering? The true meaning of democracy is "foolish people coming together to vote for a few to screw them up."

Neither arrangement is good for Ghana. NDC nor NPP. They play with the people's anger and frustration. Remind yourself about Nana's government's pretense to jail NDC fraudulents. What happened and how many ended up in jail? Similar situation now; the courts will dilly-dally with these cases until NDC is out of power.
