Mahama is desperate, like a goat with a knife at the throat. It struggles out of desperation and its all over the place, believing in the illusion that anything he throws out there will save him. He starts with this green book shit, and ghanaians saw thru the lies, then he moves to money in your pocket slogan, then he abandons it for the I choose JM hashtage. This one too is not catching on as expected, then he sees bawumia making a lot of inroads in ndc strongholds, he quickly follows up in those areas with hope of courting their expected loyalty. Harping and chronicling the supposed infrastructure is not having the impact since pple are concerned abt jobs and the economy. He makes a switch and says the economy is making a turnaround. Who destroyed it in the first place. They see bawumia making a lot of impact with his campus serminars and they rush to resuscitate their campus connect platform at UCC which was massively boycotted by discerning students. And now he is in a EC advert. This is what we call hard selling in marketing. It always backfires in selling intangible products like image, and appealing to the conscience of the masses. The desperation of mahama and his team in making him play second fiddle, but without much success. He is losing big time. The stalwarts in the ndc party has abondoned him. Its left with the src boys and the northern cohortes who have benefited from his unmeritted appointments. Where are the ahwois, the spios, the tsikatas, kwabena agyeis, the tony aidoos, etc. I doubt if this elections they can buy Papa Jay to campaign for them. Jj will be a spectator. Because he and the stalwarts of ndc know we have Ataa Ayi for a president.

The President is not as desperate as you sort to put it. He is just playing the role of the first gentleman of the land.

As the father of the land, he is just leading by example. Deciding to call on all Ghanaians to get registered does not mean he is desperate.

After all, it is only new to our democracy, but in developed democracies like the United States, it is not new.

Spare the President.

The EC can give all radio and TV stations in the country to the president to advertise but he will still loose the november elections because Ghanaians are fed up with ndc.

Mahama as president owes it a duty to encourage the people of Ghana to register and exercise their franchise. Voting in an election as a citizen of a country is afundamental right. In case in the said advert, Mahama asked the people to register and vote for him then he is wrong. Mahama in the advert is only advising the people to register and exercise their right by way of Voting for whoever might be their choice.

THAT WAS THE WHOLE POINT IN THE FIRST PLACE. GIVING THE POLITICAL TENSION IN WHICH THE EC DEEPLY SEEN WITH SUSPICION ONE WOULD THINK THE EC WOULD KNOW BETTER AND STAY CLEAR AWAY FROM ANYTHING THAT GIVES THE IMPRESSION THE EC IS BIASED TOWARDS NDC, BUT HELL NO, EC GO AHEAD AND DO A MOST STUPID THING ONE CAN EVER IMAGINE.

NO WONDER MAHAMA LOVES THE EC AND KEEPS ON SAYING WE SHOULD LEAVE THE EC TO DO ITS WORK.

WHAT WORK MAHAMA? EC CAMPAIGNING FOR YOU MAHAMA?

NPP MUST REALIZE THAT THEY ARE FIGHTING TWO POLITICAL OPPONENTS THE NDC AND THE EC.

THE NOVEMBER ELECTIONS WILL NOT BE WON BY VOTES BUT BY THE SHADY DEEDS OF THE EC AT THE SHARP END OF THE ACTIVITIES THE EC WOULD CARRY OUT ON THE DAY OF THE POLLS AND THE IMMEDIATE AFTERMATH VOTES HAVING BEEN CAST.

IF I WERE NPP I WOULD BE FOCUSED ON EC ACTIVITIES THAN NDC ACTIVITIES FOR WITHOUT THE EC THERE IS NO WAY THE NDC CAN WIN AGAIN.

This is the job of the National Commission of Civic Education i.e. the NCCE, which has been hamstrung by this John Dramani Mahama NDC gov't and therefore cannot execute its mandate satisfactorily. Indeed, at the last count, it is alleged 4x4 Mahindra vehicles imported for the NCCE, found its way to the compound of the National Security Advisor who subsequently it came to light, was actively leading in the branding the said vehicles with pictures of John Mahama and the NDC party for campaigning, underscoring the perception of the looting of public property and the abuse of power and incumbency following the revelation of this screaming conduct.
Since the EC has usurped the mandate of the NCCE on the back of John Dramani Mahama deliberately starving the institution of the needed resources and funds, and the EC has thus gone ahead to use him for adverts, will the EC also use the other candidates in their adverts to also appeal to young voters to register or it is limited to just John Mahama alone? Besides where is the budget for these adverts coming from when the EC is complaining the funds for the 2016 elections is inadequate?
And this again raises another point. Does the EC and John Dramani Mahama think urging young eligible voters to register will lead to those new voters casting their ballot for him and thus, the adverts? Is that what John Mahama and his NDC gov't and the EC think?
Well, they should ask Sofo Azorka, Ras Mubarak and Amissah Arthur who was at Klottey Korle recently and they will get their answers.
Let's make it clear once again, that John Dramani Mahama is the most unelectable incumbent Presidential candidate in half a century and nothing will save him atbthenballot box in November. He has a much better chance at finishing his handing over notes than winning the 2016 elections.
