Look who is talking now that the NDC is going to lose the next election. This guy ruled Ghana for 12 years with no Vice or Assistant during the PNDC time. He rule for the next 8 years under the current system with no regrets. So why now? May be he thinks Ghanaians will always be fools. No more my friend. Winner takes all is the system here in the USA and it shall remain so in Ghana. Thank you.

Everybody is complaining bitterly but very few dare speak the truth . We shall never move forward until the undeclared war against the Akans, discrimination of the majority and anti Akan propaganda hate agenda is resolved. One must fight fire with fire , war with war not kisses or playing ignorant to the reality . the northerners , ewes , Muslims and other traitors of the Akan interest are systematically destroying the future of the Akans . There is no democracy or govt of the people and by the people but the slow establishment of the caliphate of pepeni murderers using a system of corrupt govt that makes irrelevant all institutions of state in the form of a Saudi style monarchy of mahama and his brothers . Despite our huge potential and the fact that any true patriotic nationalist govt can definitely turn the economy around in less than 6 months , we are bogged down in this situation of undeclared war of the ayigbe and pepeni mafia who have hijacked all institutes of state . only a bloody revolution will set us free . everything we have predicted over the past few years has come to pass and there is more evil to come until we stand up accept that we are at war and must fight back. Even Obama now realizes this caliphate is a serious threat to mankind's peace and unity . All religions are from God but over time the devil ensures the good is interpreted by the wicked and used to cause harm , the righteous know religion is meant to ensure unity and goodwill amongst men not pain and suffering or discrimination. On one hand we have the mafia ndc killing our people's future and around the corner nana chooses as his closest allies northerners who will continue the agenda of hate , wait for the clarion call for freedom and spare none of these criminals in the political oligarchy of corruption and evil . JJ and his ayigbe criminals started this process and God will continue to punish us with hardships and pestilences if we do not stand up

NO LEADER, PRESIDENT, VEEP OR POLITICAL PARTY CAN HELP GHANA.
FOR GHANA TO DEVELOP AND MOVE FORWARD IT'S THE DUTY OF THE CITIZENRY TO WALK THE TALK AND DO THE RIGHT THING.

HOW CAN GHANA MOVE FORWARD IF WE CAN'T GET SIMPLE THINGS LIKE VOTERS REGISTRATION RIGHT?

GHANA IS A JOKE, WE REALLY NEED TO GET SERIOUS FOR ONCE. WE MUST ALL FIND SOMETHING TO DO WITH OUR PRECIOUS TIME AND STOP POLITICIZING EVERYTHING, HUH!

I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY SOME PEOPLE THINK THEY ALWAYS HAVE TO CHEAT DURING VOTERS REGISTRATION.

WHY CAN'T WE ACT LIKE THE WESTERN WORLD WHO ALWAYS REGISTER JUST ONCE AND SEE THEIR ELECTIONS DONE SMOOTHLY?

REMEMBER, GHANA IS THE
ONLY COUNTRY WE HAVE, IN VIEW OF THIS WE MUST WORK RELENTLESSLY TO BUILD THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND DEVELOP THE COUNTRY TO THE BEST OF OUR ABILITY AND STOP THE UNNECESSARY BLAME GAME.

GHANA CAN MOVE FORWARD ONLY IF WE ARE ALL READY TO WORK HARD AND DO THINGS RIGHT. GOD BLESS OUR HOMELAND GHANA.

Your stupid constitution initiated this polarization. Worst came your tribal hatred against Akans especially Ashantis forgetting that Ashanti blood is flowing in your wife. Jealousy made you to kill even those you considered somehow innocent. Your are now getting old and wretched, slowly realizing the harm you have caused. You can never turn the clock backwards but your name will ever remain a disaster in comtemporary history except those who were under 13years of age who were/are not aware of what happened
NOTE that you can take AKAN away from home but you can't change the AKAN in him. Despite your hatred and atrocities meted on them, they still remain hard-working and prosperous.

Rawling can play with John Mahama as he did to Mills. The fool is tell NDC and its govt they have lost 2016, in doing so is begging NPP to add some NDC members in NPP govt.
Rawlings is really stupid to think NPP will invite any NDC member to help solve ghana prblems. If there is anybody within the NDC party with sense ghanaians wouldnt be suffering. If they are good and clever people in NDC govt why are we suffering and why is the govt selling ghana to foreigners.

It's the "political immaturity" of our politicians and other leaders, who make STUPID, FOOLISH, VINDICTIVE & SELFISH decisions, while in government—and that’s democrazy!! What the IEA is recommending will be equally foolish and would not work.

Everywhere in the World, where democracy and not democrazy is practiced, it is winner takes all. But, the "MATURE" democracies can appoint opposition party members to join them in governance. Mature democracies also DON'T TERMINATE contracts already awarded by their predecessors.

But, most importantly, Presidents or Prime Ministers of "mature democracies" DON'T appoint DCEs, Regional Ministers, etc., etc. These people are ELECTED by the districts or regions and by so doing, several of them will come from opposition political parties for you to have a mixture of people.

For example: President Obama of the United States, and those before him, cannot appoint Governors (regional minister), County Executives (MDCEs) or Mayors. They are all elected by the people and of the 50 states in the United States, 35 of the state governors are Republicans, while Obama, the President, is a Democrat. By that, Obama and the Democrats are not the only people "governing" the country, but with political opponents as well. So, just let Regional ministers and MDCEs be elected and you have a coalition government—PROBLEM SOLVED, NEGRO!!

Elija,

It is true that JJ appointed Kuffour into his military govt. However, Kuffour realized all too soon that the govt had a hidden agenda and therefore resigned.

JJ had an inner circle men, mainly made up of hard-core anti-Akan anti-Asante Ewes and Northerners with whom he was secretly ruling. He was sidestepping the few Akans he had appointed in making daily and crucial decisions.

It is very shocking to note that, Rawlings has now turned round preaching against the so-called "winner-takes-all" mantra after he practised it for 20 years! It sounds very hypocritical to me.

If not, know that it takes a sitting for a government to declare war which would sent thousands of people into their early graves. Check your watch, kufuor was with the brutist when the judges were killed.

You must be a green horn or a baby as far as Ghana history is concerned to post this sort of comment. Rawlings has always been against this type of political system. He openly spoke against it when the country was going to change from the PNDC era to the new system that we know today. But unlike most African military dictators, he did not force his views upon the majority at that time. So, for you to cal Rawlings a slow learner is either disingenuous or a sign of ignorance.

Although, your NDC is the beneficiary of this "winner takes all" system, she parted ways with the party a while ago. So she saw something that didn't jive and you're just catching on?

She was the first to see the writing clearly on the wall that what you initiated is the root cause of Ghana's ailments.

I hate to give her this credit but I think she's quick to access situations on her feet and you're a bit slow.

Something is only good for this guy when it favours him. As soon as the point of favour is shifted and he's no more in control of the situation, the idea becomes obsolete in his view.

That paints a clear picture of a control freak.
He ruled under this same constitution that he is now criticizing although he didn't find any fault with it or in it when others complained during his rule and slammed all doors shut for discussion on the issue.

Look the kettle calling the Pot "Black" .Rawlings ruled the nation for 19 years unchecked,During his military era,there were no constitution,no parliament and no laws in the country.He stole all our wealth,sold our national assets to himself and family,e.g Blackstar Line ship,GNTC,Nsawam cannery and many more, killed innocent people,others disappeared up to today e.g the three judges but he is walking freely in the country and thinks he is untouchable.Now lets judge who sowed the seed of Corruption in Ghana? I can't wait to see Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo being sworn in as the President of Ghana as soon as possible because Mahama is going to resign as being rumoured.

I don't trust Rawlings in anyway and especially what he is saying about this topic. My reason is simply this, he was the one that Ghana's constitution was built around. Sycophants that he Rawlings constituted as constitution drafters, drafted the constitution for him.He liked it and enjoyed it. Ghana's constitution is perhaps the most bogus constitution that to my opinion will never help our society to move forward.It has in built opportunities for corruption and conniving. God have mercy on our beloved country Ghana.

The constitution is not worth the paper it was written on. It was made for Rawlings' benefit and nothing else.

When in 1978 General Kuti Achempong then leader of Ghana asked for Union government, Rawlings etc rejected and led student mass protests culminating to his overthrow! Now Rawlings you should atleast acknowledge Acheampong's ideas. He introduced 1. the most successful operation feed yourself 2. The Regional development corporation etc. As a student in high school Acheapong will provide us with holiday work and it didn't matter whether your father was the head of the body, you got something financial to get back to school.

Are there principled politicians left in Ghana anymore if there was ever one? The system of winner-take-all is a testament to a nation of cultured, level-headed and civil citizens. We used to be a nation of people who understood there is a time and place for each of us in our endeavors until a bunch of delusional crazies took their silver coin pieces to usher in their new found greed that started Ghana down a path of military takeover and tribal animosity in 1966 that has continued unabated. There is no time to put the genie in the bottle not after each political animal and their brain dead foot soldiers have come to know the easy taken of tax payer money without worthwhile work.

Would Rawlings have shared the advantages he gave his tribesmen with other tribes in Ghana? Did he not abuse his own hand-picked vice presidential candidates because of the winner-take-all system he suddenly question? Could Kufour have awarded the opportunity for education via government scholarships to mainly people of his tribe under a shared system? No. Being a descent principled human being is a learned process that cannot be easily attained in Ghana; no not when tribal loyalties trumps nation and God or Allah.

Yes, many call themselves politicians but are never concerned of the system that drives the nation. It is a reality that the ''Winner Takes All''system is seriously breeding hatred and division within our nation than love of coperation and unity, which is sine quo non to our nation's development.

Today Ghana is crying and had been infested with uncontrollable indiscipline more than cholera, a thing that General Nunoo Mensah was able to pinpoint with his great wisdom of awareness that many so called educated Ghanaians could not see and condemned.

Anyway it is naturally not late if we can come together and rationally throw away our foolish and village mindset of seeing politics as a fight against one another, especially if one is found to be other party.

It is time to give second thought to our national political stand of whether we are to hold on to the winnwer takes all syndrome of retrogressive politics or go for any other system that could work better for us all in our dear nation, as our dear ex president and others have been desiring to see in our Ghana.

I believe we are matured at certain stages in our politics, that we can easily see and observe the reality of what the present system of winner takes all is doing to us with the uncontrollable indiscipline taking place nationally and even in our individual parties to say. Thank for bringing your hearts onboard in finding solution to this menace in our political world today.

The problem is not with the winner-takes-all system.

All members of the cabinet should come from outside the parliament. We will then have better and experience people running the country.

Barebones, Cradle of Filth . What lessons do Ghanaians share in filth with this Evil Target designer. A monster among us , hungry in power and wealth. It is unfortunate how real gangsters sieze power through cantekrerous ways to have negative impacts on the society. The evils that have bestowed our nation since the coups of this monster is legendary. And as we stand aside ,in respect of our traditions and cultures ,a lonely bastard, swims all along our washed rivers to boast for his power and wealth, over and over again .There are times , I can no longer hold my patience as regard to my oath as an Akan, in hearing of a Filthy bastard , brought among us by a prostitute and a vagabond. The whole idea of intergrating foreigners into our society becomes fruitless with evil. We have had men like Guy Warren who for his patroitism ,changed his name to Kofi Ghanaba, shinning ghana by his drums. I have always believe in intergration , until this evil bastard betrayed this nation for power and his wealth. And for an usurper, who sold our prestige from his beginning as a communist to fanfare democracy in his wealth, I call on our elders to evoke the legend sacriliege NTAMKESE ,before he doom us all to misery and pains. Winner takes all , WHO WAS THE GANGSTER WINNER WHO TOOK ALL WITH GUNS ,SINCE !1979. Your words are of no where to be heard of ! USURPER !
