The fundamental duty of any government in the world is to provide peace and security, and it controls the security agencies including the police and the army to perform this function. It was the duty of the government to provide an environment conducive for free and fair elections devoid of any form of electoral malpractice or criminal activity. The NDC government should accept responsibility for what happened at Talansi, and not try to tell Ghanaians that they only enjoy power without any responsibility.
When a government is reported to have shared AK-47s, pistols, axes and matches among its thugs to maim and kill opposition leaders to ensure that they are fully intimated, what do you think the level of intimidation and pressure that was exerted on the villagers? And when years of accumulated stolen monies from percentages secured from inflated projects, judgment debts and direct use of government money meant for ghost projects like SADA are shared to entice poor gullible voters, what do you expect? Furthermore, if some NDC supporters were caught with thumb-printed ballot papers to rig the elections, how many of them do you think slipped through undetected or allowed to pass in order to stuff the boxes with such papers in favour of the NDC candidate? Moreover, I hope you have not yet forgotten about the 5billion dollars they used out of budget in 2012 to buy the conscience of gullible voters, and for which Ghanaians are being overtaxed today.
NDC would do anything under the sun to rig elections and remain in power, and the practice has been going on since the NDC phase one under Rawlings, who himself displayed crocodile on hearing about the electoral violence aptly blamed on the NDC. Clearly, this is the precursor of the nature of the 2016 elections that Mr. Mahama hinted. We now know that it is going be fought with AK-47s, pistols, daggers, axes, matches, bribery and intimidation. And I urge our people to remain resolute in defending democracy in our country. Without free and fair elections, we could easily find ourselves again in a one party state like the one that we suffered under Nkrumah because; Mr. Mahama is trying to derail democracy in our country in order to continue his mediocre rule.

Fantastic write-up. Npp will continue to write beautiful and ("sound and logical arguments") and forever remain in opposition. This is because for all the chapters of their failure to win elections they have a long list of well prepared write-ups to cover their failures.

It is only in a lawless country like Ghana that a criminal like Azorka can come on radio and claim to have ''boys'' that he sent at election time '' to make sure nobody shares money''.
WHICH LAW OF OUR LAND ALLOWS THIS? If the Ghana police service doesn't arrest this criminal and disband his criminal gang to discourage this kind of lawlessness, then the police service as a law enforcing agent itself will become weak and useless in the very near future. Criminals like Azorka who can think of forming such a criminal gang to intimidate law abiding citizens at an election time is a HUGE THREAT TO THE PEACE AND SECURITY OF GHANA. We as a people can no longer hold elections in a quiet and peaceful manner like any other civilized people because of law breakers like Azorka. It was a shameful, criminal and uncivilized act that was displaced in Talensi, and must be stopped before it gain any root. Such criminal groups are undoubtedly easy to move into armed robbery and other evils in our society. STOP AZORKA ON HIS TRACK BEFORE HE PLUNGE GHANA INTO CHAOS.

O PEOPLE OF GHANA, WE ARE DOOMED. READ WHAT YOUR FOOLISH INTERIOR MINISTER SAID. My question to this foolish man is, WHO ENGAGED THE SERVICES OF THESE ILLEGAL ''SECURITY AGENCIES'' as he called them, INSTEAD OF THE POLICE? Ghana must get rid of this dangerous NDC PARTY before it is too late. NDC is endangering our lives. They know all the armed robbers too. VOTE THEM OUT.
READ WHAT HE SAID:
Interior Minister, Mark Woyongo, has indicated that his outfit will soon legalise the activities of vigilante groups, Azorka boys and Bolga Bulldogs.
“From now onwards we are going to ensure that those who operate have value or credible documents to operate as security agencies. These security companies will have to be licensed,” the minister suggested.
These groups have been accused of perpetrating violent crimes during the just ended Talensi by-election in the Upper East Region.
Even though former President Jerry John Rawlings has called for some of the members of these groups to be arrested and prosecuted, the Interior Minister believes their activities should rather be regulated.
“There are some of them who are not licensed and they are operating. They are operating illegally. The law is that if you want to operate a security company in Ghana you must have a license. You must have a license to operate a security company and some of them do not have the license but they are operating,” he stated.
Azorka boys, Bolga Bulldogs are security companies
Asked whether Azorka boys and Bolga Bull dogs belonged to security companies, the Minister responded in the affirmative, saying “of course they belong to security companies. For sometime now, they have been operating as security companies.”
Azorka boys only protected themselves
Meanwhile the Minister has defended the attack staged by both groups, describing their actions as a pure case of “violence begets violence.”
“Violence begets violence. Azoka boys will not act violent if they were not provoked. The other side also brought in some people…the Invincible Forces and then the Bolga Boys, so violence begets violence.
“What I mean is that if you are a peace lover and someone comes to attack you, definitely you have to protect yourself”, Mark Woyongo remarked on Kumasi based Ultimate Radio

What kind of one-way analysis is this? Please, apply the same analysis to the performance of the other parties and tell us the results. The reason some of us are against stupid and unintelligent analysis like this is that it does not help us to face the truth and prepare well to win power. Insults and lies do not win power. Super-imposing macro variables and factors at the micro or rural level does not impress. At the rural or village level you do not go there and talk about inflation and other macro variables. At the village level the people want to see local projects and infrastructural amenities like boreholes, clinics, community centres, markets, access roads, etc. So when you go to them to canvass for votes you have concrete message. What messages did the various parties have on this occasion? Some were there only to criticize and bash others. Others were there to tell the electorate what they have done for them in terms of concrete and visible projects. The lesson to learn is that, parties who refuse to site projects in areas they lose, as a punishment, will find it difficult in times like this to send any convincing message to the electorate in those neglected areas. I word to the wise is in the north.

If you want a very free & level playing elections you dont go about dishing out monies, flat sceen tv sets, rice & maggie cubes, fertilizers etc, solely at election times. I learnt as at 11.30 to 12 midnight, your people were still constructing roads & digging boreholes, as well as fixing street-lights. Tax payers money, and you think this is fair?. What a shame? and upon all these you come out with 42% & think this is not a rejection?

Thank you Kola. The analyst is myopic in all respects. Don't forget the seat was held by NPP before the by-election. The question is, With what percentage did the newly installed chief win for the NPP in 2012? From winner to loser shows the unatractiveness of the NPP, the biggest loser. In any election in future it is never NPP/NDC. Ghana is not a two party state, so we need an unbiased analyst. Elections are won on the ground, not on media platforms. Some parties have the edge there but that will never translate to votes. Ghanaians are not fools. They want to see with their eyes and some parties have failed and will never learn. Grammar wth fake accent is not enough to convince Ghanaians. No politician can be trusted but some are better at the little they do for the people. I hope the result will not change significantly in 2016. All the sabotage is not going to fade off just yet people know the politics of the main opposition party.

They do accept that the NDC won fair and square but they want to be 2nd, not 3rd. If this were to the a proper national election, the PNC will join forces with the NDC, no doubt. During the 2012 election we all saw the contempt that Ayariga had for Akuffo Addo. The PNC has never been an admirer of the NPP. Until NPP realise that Akuffo Addo and his tribalistic, militant ways is a burden on the party, they will forever stay in opposition.

NPP foolishly think that just by engaging in propaganda on radio stations is enough to win them the presidential seat. Nobody in the party is willing to go to remote areas for weeks on end just campaigning. Dada Ba politicians. Too posh to get their feet dirty. Akuffo Addo cant even unite his own party because his militant ways won't allow him to admit that he needs a "pepeni" like Afoko to help him come to power. How can he unite a nation?

In fact, I'm ashamed today to be Ghanaian. How can you do such comparison. I'm a die hard NPP supporter, but will never buy into this stupid analysis. The fact is who won the seat? NDC right?

The 57% was it won by us or all other 6 or 7 candidates together?. If it were to be presidential election we could have still lost it.
I believe strongly some of this papers are not helping our party.
I always say instead of us wasting our time campaigning vigorously in Volta and Northern Regions which to me, no matter what we do or say they won't vote for us, we should rather spend much of our energies in Greater Accra, Central and Western Regions which are deciding factors for winning every election in Ghana. Those people are well enlightened and vote on issues on the ground and not tribal sentiment.
If we really want to win this election at all cost, then we gotta work our asses off on Central, Western and Greater Accra Regions

Wrong interpretation of figures. The PNC would have voted for NDC because of similiarity on ideology. It would have been worse for NPP if there was no PNC.

i find this report of the just ended bye-election by an obviously anti-Mahama/NDC shallow minded political journalist very laughable. The logic of lumping the result of all others against the winner and declaring that as the absolute is soo amusing. In my days such reasoning is referred to as cyto logic. We are passed that stage now! If a referendum on Mahama or the NDC was required a separate ballot would have been provided for that because your opinion of the party candidate might differ from the President. In the article the reporter clandestinely mentioned many negative things that probably (in his opinion) should have advised the Talensi electorate to vote against NDC but did not happen. What I am scared for the NPP is this: The constituency was an NDC that was taken by NPP. In two years it has been retaken by the NDC and the NPP was pushed almost to third place if not for some ballots that were rejected for the PNC. And all this at a time that they claim the NDC and the President Mahama are THE WORST PERFORMING GOVERNMENT IN GHANA since Jesus was born. The NPP could not retain a seat it won in just two years! I fear for you in 2016! But on a second thought if this is the way they analyze their loses to plan then...

It is a simple question of looking at the cup half-full or half empty. Looking at it from another angle means that a whopping 72% rejected the NPP at Talensi. This cannot be good news for the NPP, given that they were holding the seat prior to the bye-election. Nana Akuffo Addo made a similar statement as the President on the Talensi bye-election being a measure of what is to come in 2016. Shall we believe both of them?

Our voting system is based on the "First past the post" system as practised in the UK for instance. Under this system, the candidate with the majority of votes WINS ! Mr, if you don't know how the voting system works, please refrain from writing silly articles. The NDC won the Telensi by-election convincingly. We know that the NPP do not accept any election result which does not favour them, but to say that 57% of the electorate rejected President Mahama is simply crass non-sense. This was a by-election which Mahama was not a candidate. There were more than 6 candidates representing their various parties. The NDC candidate secured more votes than any of the other candidates on individual bases. You can say or write anything to twist this, it will not alter the result. Now go and hide your face in shame !!

Now in the just ended by- election at Talense which is NDC stronghold and with all the goodees and the money shared, NDC managed to poll just a little over 10,000 votes leaving a deficits of over 7,000 votes as against NPP which is leaving a deficits of just a little over 1,000 votes. It clearlly show that Ghanaians are gradually rejecting the NDC.

As kweku baako said voodoo mathematic.what about the individual parties this is a sarcastic thainkers analysis.
how can you think like this nana akomea...so if is propaganda so we just throw anything out there to a sway the real issue. first and foremost ghana is not practicing parliamentary system of governace and the mechanism for pe ...

NPP WILL NEVER LEARN
That mathematical explanation pre-supposes that all the votes cast in favour of the other candidates in the by-election would go to NPP. It is not real; is it? The thing is, the NDC and, thus, Mahama has won, pure and simple! ...

Please go n check what president John Mahanadi got in 2012 election in talensi presidential, n compared it to what npp n the rest party got.wrong analysis
Poor you. Want to find any light at the end of NPP'S poor performance at Talensi
You are confused. Try to educatd well.
57% rejected ndc but 73 % rejected nana addo and npp.analysis of convenience.shame
If this argument is anything to go by then 72 percent also rejected akufo addo's message as well as the entire npp.
Mr writer am dissapointed in ur analysis bcos ur case submitted is full of bias 42 against 27% of the Npp and u ar still dreaming a fools paradise thinking u loosers got chance pnc is taken over from u as the second most pow ...

stop barking like dogs.you got 27% .why are you now talking about 57. shame to you.main opposition look at what you got as compared to other parties..FOOLS WILL NEVER LEARN.
parliamentary elections like this one are localised, in that every candidate who contested comes from that area and so have kinsmen who will vote for their own no matter what. so votes are split into bits and pieces. what ha ...

Seriously, this argument is baseless. What scientific base has it that those who voted for other smaller parties would reject the NDC when the contest is between the NDC and Npp?
In fact, I'm ashamed today to be Ghanaian. How can you do such comparison. I'm a die hard NPP supporter, but will never buy into this stupid analysis. The fact is who won the seat? NDC right? So whether they won with 40% o ...

If u write what u want ,u will read what u dnt like. Ghana 4 u. Analyse paaaaa nie lol
If 57% rejects Mahama,then how many % rejects Nana Addo´s NPP?The answer is 72% rejects NPP.Be fair.
If the writer had done a good research he would have found that, this is the biggest win for NDC since 92 and the poorest for the NPP with a campagn lead by the flag barrer himself.
What a clueless article, poor analysis which is clouded by ignorance on the part of the writer. If we are to go by his analogy, then 71 percent rejected nana addo, implies nana addo will not come close to winning nect year el ...

This is an idiotic analysis.Did you see Mahamas name?so you think PNc voted for ayariga? Attend better school okay stupid fool
This analysis is too shallow. It lacks standard statistical inferences and sound scientific principles.
So wasted all ur time to spew thus rubbish. Guess u don't have a job.
Stupid analysis
Yes 57% rejects Mahama,but 72% rejected Nana Addo, let's get serious.
The writer must be very stupid or sick...how many ghanaians then reject the npp..????... sick writer
NPP's voodoo mathematics and crazy analysis
What a poor analysis. What about that the Talensi seat was won by the NPP the last time and yet Mahama won massively in the same constituency and now they won is it back? So what nonesense are you writing here?
Wrong interpretation of figures. The PNC would have voted for NDC because of similiarity on ideology. It would have been worse for NPP if there was no PNC.
If money can buy ghanaians like this then the country is Doom for ever
NPP, NPP, when are you going to accept that this party is not good for Ghana. If not because of your party this country would have been ahead….
VOODOO ANALYSIS
The writer should bare in mind that this was just a parliamentary elections, and not a presidential elections. Hence, the analysis cannot hold. Bcos with the parliamentary elections, the outcome is based on simple majority an ...

This is a very stupid article. Why don't you compare to the 2012 elections where Ndc lost in that constituency. You will clearly see that they has been a big improvement. Dummy!
SOUR GRAPES!!!
This cheap analysis
This shows how you are mathematically bankrupt in your analysis. The whole turnout was just 64%. Also it has always being a normal thing with by-election in the country that turnout is always low.
i find this report of the just ended bye-election by an obviously anti-Mahama/NDC shallow minded political journalist very laughable. The logic of lumping the result of all others against the winner and declaring that as the ...

Did Mahama contest?
This sort of analysis shall continue to keep you in opposition.
per the writer`s assessment we can safely conclude that 72.06% of the voters have rejected the npp as the alternative government.
By this our NPP logic, it means 72% of the Talensi voters also rejected our drug addict. Next time let us think deeply before we put out such warped analysis.
NPP is wasting our time. The fact is if given power NPP will destroy the country.
Ghanaweb should not waste their time publishing this kind of wrong analysis.
When John Tia lost didn't JM win?
You see if u tell lies u keep on making mistakes Bt Baba was on Olympic Commitee not NSA
It is a simple question of looking at the cup half-full or half empty. Looking at it from another angle means that a whopping 72% rejected the NPP at Talensi. This cannot be good news for the NPP, given that they were holding ...

By yur calculations, it means that 72.06% rejected NPP as against the 57% of NDC.So what is the stake here.
Mahama must go in 2016,Ghanaians across the regions will definitely reject him,he is corrupt,a crook,a liar,incompetent opportunistic ,hater of the Akans .His northern cronies are incompetent with no brains.
If you get 42 percent from your stronghold, you call this a win? NDC will fall come 2016

Only fools and people who still believe the Earth is flat will accept your garbage analysis.

What about 72.06 rejection of NPP? the issues are not as simple as this writer wants us to believe.
Jux to add up that was a consoling but Bogus analysis it saddens me that the NPP hope to suceed in 2016 with such faint minded pple in other words implying 73% of the Talensi pple rejected Nana nd the NPP. Woe onto the NPP in ...

By simple reasoning this means 72.06% rejects Akuffo Addo, NPP. True or False?
Note that while 57 percent rejected NDC a whooping 72.2 % rejected NPP, so what is the big deal?
Let take a look at this simple analysis. In 2012 Mahama had over 17,000 votes as against Nana Addo who polled over 7,000 votes. About 10,000 votes difference. Now in the just ended by- election at Talense which is NDC strongh ...

These perennial losers will always find a way of softening their embarrassment when they are defeated. So NDC had 42% we should declare the one who had 28% winner?
What kind of calculation is this? Whoever did it must first come up with what percentage Prz.Mahama got in 2012 before we will take him serious. We are waiting.

Stop this unpopular analysis.Even if the referendum is factual,then compare the percentage to the 2012 results of JM.However,Ghanaians now patronise skirt and blouse voting.So forget.
Which percentage rejected NPP?
If anyone was rejected it was the NPP. After all that was their parliamentary seat. Therefore the appropriate question to ask is which percentage of the voters rejected NPP?
