History normally repeats itself and so given the current dynamics of infighting among the strong and rigid Akan caucus on one side and the feable caucus made up of other few tribes from Ga and others on the other side, it has become obvious that breakaway within Npp is 'no lie'.

After promising to make the Mahama led Govt unpopular and channelling all their energy and resources to lambaste the ruling government, Npp is now left with no BALLS to even muster resources or the knowhow to unite itself as the Party has become misfit, not good for purpose.

By 2016, NPP will be trailing Cpp.

Ashantis are Ashantis, and Akims are Akims; two different animals yet Ghanaians

- i am aware the NPP is dominated by Ashantis and Akims and led by bluffer Akim Akufo Ado who will never ever be President of Kwame Nkrumah Ghana no matter how hard he tried

- the once upon "Akans" who did not have a written language and roamed the west coast of Africa are dead as the do-do; the Gold Coast did not enter into Independence with a Tribe known as "Akan"; reason the NPP cannot be seen as an "Akan" Party

- i am an Ashanti; the powerful Otumfuo is my Top Man; and it takes an idiot to see me as an "Akan"

God gracious. I wish to see this party break completely. When it comes Akan party that will be very good for them. Money issues is behind Akan party`s problem. Is this a party to vote for?

Where is former President Kuffour in all these hullabaloo about Akyem/Asante and Allan faction, and Nana,s faction? Could the former President kindly come out openly to tell the whole World whether what is being bandied about his preference and personal endorsement of Allan is true or false. Indeed an Akan proverb has it that; Opanyin ntena fie emma asedua mfo.!!! Kuffour is the father of all NPP sympathizers and therefore cannot and should not have a darling boy or girl amongst his children. This faction crap will surely tear the party apart if he fails to do something about it in which case posterity will never forgive him.

I cantfail to agree with Pumpuni. The propaganda that the NPP is an AKAN party must be scuttled once and for all. It is an untruth that has been subtly planted in the minds of the esteemed Ghanaian and has been fanned to the seeming advantage of the NDC. A cursory look at our National Executive shows that at all times NPP fields various tribes. This diversion from our political opponents must not be allowed to take detract from the main issues which are economic.After all we are all Ghanaians at the end of the day. I don't expect anybody attempting to ascend to leadership to fan or encourage tribal sentiments.

Irrespective of who gets the party chairmanship the truth is that UNTIL THE NPP REFORMS TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS PERCEIVED NOT AS AN ASHANTI ONLY PARTY BUT AN ALL TRIBE INCLUSIVE PARTY IT WILL NEVER EVER WIN AN ELECTION DEMOCRATICALLY IN GHANA. Another point to note: negative campaigning alone (constant harping about the glaring shortcomings of President Mahama or of a clearly corrupt NDC) will not be able to win any election for the NPP. GHANAIANS WANT TO BE CONVINCED THAT THE NPP WILL DO FAR BETTER IF VOTED BACK INTO OFFICE. GHANAIANS WANT TO SEE THE NPP'S CONVINCING ROAD MAP. SO FAR ALL GHANAIANS ARE HEARING IS AN NPP IN DISARRAY WITH DEBILITATING INFIGHTING AND SQUABBLING THE ORDER OF THE DAY. The current NPP leadership is clearly part of the problem.The NPP really runs the risk of becoming another has been party, just like the CPP.

Al Hajj, how do you analize issues? Even just common sense should debunk your claims. Is Kwame Pianim not an Akan? What eliminated him from the race? Is Obetshebi Lamptey an Akan? He is not an Akan, so why do you tag Afoko's eliminations as Akan? If you think by keeping Jake is an automatic ticket for Akuffo Addo to lead the party, then why do they go to vote at all. If Chairmanship decides falgbearaship, then NPP is already too corrupt. I know what your assessment it. Some days ago, you people started sayin K4's choice is Bawumia, so you think Afoko's chairmanship will give Bawumia automatic flagbearaship. If this will be the case, then Afoko and Bawumia themselves cannot be trusted, since falgbearership comes through election. This means, Afoko will cheat for Bawumia to win. Then why cry over Atuguba's judgement? Your analysis is just at JHS level. You are trying to fight Bawumia's coarse but, Bawumia lacks capacity to lead Ghana now. Mahama has open our eyes that, the thought that Northerners are honest people has been just out of IGNORAMUS. You are weaked, more evily corrupt than the southerners. Find better ways to fight for Bawumia. NPP has laid down principles and if Afoko is disqualified wrongly, the courts are there. If indeed, he did anything in the past, then the hen has now come home to roost. This is why what Ablakwa, Felx Ampofo and co, whatever they are doing today will visit them some day to come.

NPP,taking its roots from UGCC and UP cannot said to be Akan party,only fools will believe that because they have members from all over the country.Jake is not Akan and Afoko is also not Akan anyway.This is just tribal nonesense,let Mr Paul Afoko defends himsef if he has the leadership qualities.Ofcourse,there are some clanic lobbists in the party protecting only the interest of Ashantis and AKyems to lead the party.This group must look for new strategy to accept other potential leaders.When we say Akan,we must not forget the Fantis,Kwahu,Brong etc,who are now finding it very difficult to lead the party,more especially those from the coastal areas.Thank you.

THOSE DAYS WHEN U TOOK A PERMANENT SEAT IN FRONT OF YOUR FATHER'S CENTRAL HOTEL IN BOLGATANGA (UNDER THE CANOPY OF THE NEEMTREES), PREDATING ON EVERY LADY WHO CAME ACCROSS, DID YOU CONSIDER THAT A TIME LIKE THIS WAS GOING TO COME FOR YOU TO CONTEST FOR A POSITION OF FAME SUCH AS NPP CHAIRMANSHIP? YOU SHARTERED ALL YOUR REPUTATION BY THE IRRESPONSIBLE AND WICKED WAYS OF MISTREATING OTHER GIRLS INCLUDING YOUR OWN YOUR FORMER GIRL FRIEND CALLED BETTY THOMPSON. AFTER SUFERING THE BITTER DISAPPOINTMENT FROM YOU, BETTY CAME TO SOME OF US HER MERE FRIENDS THEN AS STUDENTS IN TAKORADI-POLYTECHNIC AND SHE WAS VIRTUALLY BEGGING BEFORE SHE COULD GET TO EAT.
PAUL DO YOU REMEMBER THE MANY CRIMINAL THINGS YOU DID TOGETHER WITH TAWFIC YOUR BOSSOM FRIEND WHO WAS HALF LEBANESE? DO YOU ALSO REMEMBER THAT MEMORABLE ACT OF TREASON YOU GOT INVOLVED IN WITH HILDA WHO WAS ALSO CALLED MADAM BOLCO? FOR THESE AND MANY MORE SILLY THINGS WE KNOW ABOUT YOU, WE WILL NOT SIT DOWN QUIETLY FOR YOU TO COME AND SPOIL OUR PARTY FOR US. PLEASE BETTER SIT SOMWHERE AND ALLOW OTHERS OF CLEAN REPUTATION TO ENTER THE CONTEST FOR THE CHAIRMANSHIP BEFORE I EXPOSE YOU THE MORE. BY THE WAY, WHERE IS YOUR CRIMINAL YOUNGER BROTHER JOHN AFOKO? WHERE IS YOUR OTHER CLOSE FRIEND AZIZ? THIS IS JUST A CAUTIONARY EPISTLE FROM ME TO YOU AND THE GREAT NPP. BYE

I BELIEVE THAT THIS NANA ADDO WHO HAS NOT BEEN MADE PRESIDENT BECAUSE OF WHICH HIS FOLLOWERS ARE ALWAYS SHAMEFULLY INSULTING THE SITTING PRESIDENT WILL SURELY BE RETIRED COME 2016 FOR THE FOLLWERS TO KNOW THAT GHANA IS NOT FOR THEM. GHANA IS FOR ALL OF US THE PRESIDENCY IS NOT A PRESERVE OF ANY PARTICULAR TRIBE, THE EARLIER THEY GET THIS INTO THEIR HEAD THE BETTER. IT IS ANNOYING TO SAY THE LEAST TO ALWAYS SEE THESE UNCULTURED ONES INSULTING EWES, GAS, PEPENI AND THE LIKE MEERLY BECOS THEY ARE NOT IN POWER. DO THEY THINK THEY ARE BETTER THAN THE MAJORITY WHO VOTED THIS GOV'T TO POWER, THEY SHD BEHAVE.IT IS IN LINE WITH THIS LINE OF THINKING THAT THE LEAST THING THEY MAKE SO MUCH NOICE AS THOUGH THE COUNTRY'S SYSTEMS ARE BROKEN DOWN. EG THE RECENT DEPN OF THE CEDI, SOMETHING THAT IS USUAL TO EVERY ECONOMIST. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH US? I AM OF THE VIEW THAT WHEN A GOV'T IS VOTED INTO POWER SOME BREATHING SPACE SHD BE GIVEN IT TO OPERATE, YES WE NEED PEACE TO DEVELOP. SO POLITICKING SHOULD BE PUT ASIDE FOR EVERY ONE TO RALLY BEHIND THE GOV'T FOR DEVELOPMENT UNTIL THE LAST YEAR FOR THIS KIND OF NOISY PARTISAN POLITICS.
