DON'T BE A HYPOCRITE. YOUR NDC PARTY IS DEEP IN IT. THE NDC HAS LOOTED EVERYTHING IN THE BUDGETS .... FROM MONEY TO TOILET ROLLS, LEAVING NOTHING FOR THE PEOPLE. ALL NDC GURUS ARE MILLIONAIRES RIGHT NOW, FOR DOING NOTHING.

When Kwaku Baako informed us about the atrocities of Kwesi Pratt during PNDC Regime, some of us did not believe until the truth was confirmed during the NRC. Kwesi Pratt is the most dangerous Journalist Ghana had ever have, he had the gut to recommend his fellow journalists to be executed by PNDC. Pratt even recommended Baako to be killed by the regime, thank God Baako was instead touchered violently and severely but his life was spared. This is what Kwesi Pratt can do. Now Pratt is a secret agent to NDC and US Embassy in Ghana. May God forgive Pratt and spare him the untold evils that will come upon him and his generations. The souls of those journalist killed through Pratt's recommendations to PNDC will never forgive Pratt. Now Pratt has the guts to take Diplomatic Passport and smuggled his weak-headed children to work at the Ministries under Mills NDC, may God forgive Pratt and his dependance and spare them of the evils ahead of them...

Ghana is doomed! For more than two decades, Afari Djan has been the chief election officer. He could have identified this issue of vote buying by the political and asked the political leaders to desist from such behavior. He could have enlisted the support of the corrupt police since vote buying is against the electoral rules of the republic. But what did Afari Djan do? Unfortunately, many Ghanaians believe the definition of peace is absence of war? But you don't when this beloved country could be torn into a bloody civil because of lack of transparency in the electoral process? How come that the speaker is discussing vote buying but the head of the electoral commission has never broached this topic? Is vote buying against the laws of Ghana? Is Afari Djan aware that the two main political parties engage in vote buying.

VOTE THE USELESS AND DANGEROUS NDC PARTY OUT IN 2016 BEFORE THEY DESTROY GHANA WITH TRIBAL POLITICS LIKE THEY ARE CONSTANTLY DOING. THEY ARE EVIL, THEY DON'T LIKE GHANA. WHY ARE THEY INFILTRATING THEIR OPPONENTS CAMP TO DECEIVE THE VOTER? IT IS BECAUSE THEY ARE EVIL.

I pray that when given the chance in 2016 to vote our leaders, the people of Ghana will not vote for THIEVES to take care of our country. Who gives fish to a cat to take care of? In this light, i urge all who can, to convince the IGNORANT AND SOMETIMES FOOLISH FOLLOWERS of such politicians to change their mind. SUCH PEOPLE ARE THE REASON WHY WE ARE WHERE WE ARE TODAY. THE ACTION OF FOOLISH VOTERS is killing GHANA. STOP IMPOSING USELESS POLITICIANS ON US. YOUR ACTION IS SENDING THE WHOLE COUNTRY BACK. IT IS NOT ABOUT TRIBE, IT IS ABOUT THE PROGRESS OF GHANA. NDC AFTER 26 YEARS HAVE PROVED THAT THEY DON'T HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO MANAGE GHANA. HOW MUCH MORE TIME DO YOU WANT TO GIVE THEM? VOTE THEM OUT IN 2016 AND SEE GHANA GAIN HER FOOTING AGAIN

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RUBBISH. DID YOU THINK BEFORE YOU PUT OUT THIS CONTRIBUTION? IN UK AND ELSEWHERE, NO POLITICIAN BRIBES PEOPLE TO VOTE FOR THEM, OKAY. IT IS ALSO NEVER CORRECT TO SAY THAT IT IS THE RULE BY THE RICH. IF THIS ASSERTION OF YOURS WERE TO BE SO THEN THE LABOUR PARTY IN UK WOULD NEVER BE IN POWER. THE PROBLEM WITH US IS THAT WE HAVE ALLOWED OUR PARLIAMENTARIANS TO NEGATE THE JOBS FOR WHICH THEY ARE TO BE DOING: LEGISTRATING, MAKING LAWS FOR THE COUNTRY AND THE GOVERNMENT, CENTRAL, MINICIPAL, DISTRICT, LOCAL ETC DEVELOPING THEIR LOCALITIES. NO WONDER EVERYONE WANTS TO BE AN MP. THE CITIZENRY ALSO THINK THE WORK OF THE MP IS TO DEVELOP HIS CONSTTUENCY, HENCE, EVERYONE WANTS TO GET TO PARLIAMENT AND ENJOY THE FREEBIES AS AN MP.

Some chiefs are also part of this game and inform their communities who they should vote for so if another party the communities just swop T shirt in support for that party allowing them to collect the cash and then after that party campaigner leaves they go back to their T shirt. The foot soliders are those who go round and find people who could convenience communities to vote for a particular party with the promise of cash. As you know in Ghana so many people are poor so they fall victims to this evil yet come Sunday they all dresss up to go to church.

The proportional representation method or system will reduce this problem. In that case, there will be no parliamentary candidates. But even that, the Ghanaian version will see Party officials becoming the beneficiaries.
