You have said it all. At the core of the problem is the NPP leadership and their supporters' attitude. It's time for them to shed off their arrogant postering, show respect for others especially the presidency, tolerate internal dissent, stop blaming everyone but themselves for their problems and stop concentrating on insulting and painting the NDC black. Ghanaians are not stupid we can discern genuine politics from rhetorics. If NPP want to tick and deceive themselves, let them go aheard. We the floating voters will keep them out until they do the right thing.

You have got most points correct by my assessment. The point about NPP garnering more than 47% of votes from only two regions is significant. The fact is the voting pattern is tribal. There is anti-ashanti sentiments in Ghana and this is what NDC exploit. They tellthe Bonos, Zongos, Ewes, sefwis, Norherners thgat Ashantis dont like them and that they will be better off under NDC. Somehow because of deepseated hatred against Ashanti conquests, the other minor tribes avoid anything Asante. They reckon that if you vote for Akufo Ado , you will have voted for Ashantis. They just dont like Ashantis. The day the electorate will see thro' NDC trobalism, NDC electoral fortunes will dip

It is sad that you think npp abysmal performance is as a results of anti ashanti sentiments in the country. Very sad. When npp won 2000 and 2004 elections, what was it?. was it pro ashanti sentiments that won the election for npp?. is npp a tribal party?. If all tribes in this country were against npp because of anti ashanti sentiments, the npp votes would have been far worst than they currently get from other regions. I have been an npp sympathizer since 1992 but i had to leave the party in 2004 when the party i labored for was still in power. Do you know the reason i left the party?. stop those reasons you are given because it does not help the party (npp)course.

That is the problem of the NPP - arrogance, name calling, cheap posturing and a sense of entitlement. Asiedu Nketsiah, to you, may have performed not to your satisfaction, but at least he understood something about the Ghanaian electoral process. It was certainly better than the chorus: "you and I were not there". You may not like this article or the sound of the name of the writer. Unfortunately, that is the TRUTH!! Your party may continue with their "thank you" tours and continue to tell the people how the SC cheated them, and continue to tickle themelves and laugh. Meanwhile, mediocre performance by the NDC will earn them more respect with the people and sympathy in 2016. Continue in your cheap arrogance and very obnoxious behavior.

THE COUNTRY IS IN A DITCH WHERE PEOPLE HAVE NOT BEEN PAID IN 2 YEARS AND YOU TELL ME NDC WILL EARN RESPECT AND SYMPATHY? NONSENSE. YOU AND I WERE NOT THERE MAKES SENSE TO MOST INTELLIGENT PEOPLE. WHEN 27 BECOMES 270 AND IS WRITTEN IN WORDS AS TWENTY SEVEN ZERO, HOW CAN YOU SIT IN A COURT ROOM AND EXCUSE IT? SURELY, YOU AND I WERE NOT THERE, WE WILL HAVE TO COME TO OUR OWN CONCLUSION BY WHAT IS ON THE FACE OF THE PINK SHEET. COMMOT FOR THERE. NDC THIEVES.

Shame on you and your intolerant behavior. We were all in Ghana in 2012 with all the energy crisis and government overspending. And yet a little over half the voting population still preferred the NDC. The writer of the article rightly referred to what Dr. Arthur Kennedy said - that, you cannot depend on the annulment of 4 million NDC votes to make you win??? How come you won in only 2 of the 10 regions? Like I said, continue to tickle yourselves and laugh and also be insulting. Or is it part of the frustration??? Get to work and stop whining about why you lost. Stop wasting our ears.

The attitude shown by Dan Forson is what put people off the npp.Forson is a vulgar buffoon and probably suffering from the turret syndrome a condition which usually preempts speech with insult.It seems Dan is suffering from this compulsive disorder.Hence his insults on anybody he disagrees with.
With people like Dan the floating voter will think twice before associating with an intolerant party even though that may not be the parties values but that is perception but as is said one bad apple can spoil the whole bunch.Perhaps lack of expression and limited vocabulary may be the problem of the Dans but the party must intervene to address attitude of intolerance and compulsive insults.It is doing the party no good and stifling the parties chances.

Thank you sir for this article.Do you know the problem with the NPP, to them it is what they think & not the reality. I see them loosing the petition the day I first read it.How can a whole political party like the NPP 3 weeks after loosing an election go to court to claim that the pink sheets on which the will of the people were recorded from other polling stations have the same serial numbers so the votes at these polling stations should be annulled & then declare Akuffo-Addo the winner;very very nonsensical.Where they able to prove at court that at those polling stations the voters voted for Akuffo-Addo but because the various pink sheets were having the same serial numbers that's why John Mahama won. This weaker point in an already weak case, According to Dr.Bawumiah constitutes 76% of their case. Instead of doing a post mortem to find out why the discerning & silent majority of Ghanaian voted against them, they are thinking of going for a review; let them go , we are waiting for them at the court. Till the NPP change the glorious perception about themselves & the negative perception about all others(especially the NDC,they will remain in opposition till thy kingdom come. Eyes are watching.

The NPP leadership seem to be unable to take responsibility for any electoral loss.The clique system that charaterizes the NPP leadership has become a liability.
