  The "vote" is very important, people must use it to shape the future of their children. It is the civic responsibility of anyone working at the pools to put the interest of the children above their own private interest.
  In my view, this gov has done a poor job and must be changed, but we must respect the view of the majority if the election is free and fair.

  NPP haven't quite conducted themselves properly. I just hope the NPP will accept the results IF Ghana votes for NDC and not cry all kinds of foul out of anger and selfishness. Hmmm.

  T and T voting is not the only way to ensure good governance in any country. Making sure that state institutions work as they are required to is more important

  Great idea, very sensible and logical arguments. These professionals are going to swear an orth of allegiance to faithfully discharge their duties without fear or favour. Any devil who opposes God`s way shall die.

  The NDC is not against the use of professionals. What the party said was that it will not allow the BIASED members of the GBA to act as election officials. Ghanaians are not strangers to th open bias of most members of the GFA, their hatred for th NDC, and their desire to see the NDC lose the elections. That is the truth, which majority of Ghanaians easily identify with. Those biased GBA members will never be allowed to play any part, and that is not negotiable. You can say or write your worst, it will not change what we all know to be the truth and thus, right position to take. I can bet you that Nana Addo and the NPP can never, and will not win the 2016 elections with those fantom, infantile and deceptive promises. Afterall Ghanaians have not forgotten the fanciful promises they used to Lie their way to power. The promise to crap VAT after deadly Kumepreko demo, but was rather increased by 2.5 percentage points: the promise to construct railway lines from Takoradi to Wa, but not even a meter was done but rather the old rails were removed and sold as scrap: the promise to reduce Corporate taxes only to introduce more taxes including levies on profits: they promise to reduce fuel prices as they carried gallons to rallies to ridicule Rawlings, only to end up increasing fuel by 62 percent at a go, the highest percentage increase in our history: the promise to build High-rise buildings in the Zongo only to neglect them and further desecrate the Haj process by humiliating pilgrims at the El-Wak stadium where they were treated like refugees:the promise to provide jobs for ALL Ghanaians able and willing to work, only to let young men and women queue up in the hot sun to register but end up without any jobs, and when they complained Kuffuor stood on a political platform and said all those complaining of difficulties were Lazy (akwajirifuo). There are more space will not allow me to enumerate. Mahama has done far better in 3 years than that NPP in 8 years. Moreover he has not insulted Ghanaians who are complaining of hardships as lazy people. Follow Mahama's campaign tours, and no one will tell you what Dec 7 will produce. It is not about noise making. Ghanaians are not gullible as you people think. They are discerning, of course not including the ethnocentric hallucinating NPP supporters who we all know cannot stop the Mahama train.

  I am not surprise the NDC is against this great idea of the EC. They have come to realize that well meaningful and educated Ghanaians dont vote for them and so they see this a threat. No wonder they keep fucking up our educational system. They dont want to see alot of literates in the system just bcos when the ppl get schooled properly they get wise and they make decisions wisely especially when it comesbto National Issues. No wonder they are not able to make any good political arguments but to throw insults whenever they are loosing their grounds in making arguments. Its time the study of economics especially micro economics is made compulsory so ppl will be well enlightened on the matters involved in the running of a country's economy. Shameful NDC. U think the ppl of Ghana will remain stupid forever. The table is turning gradually and very soon we will start to see great political arguments from great ppl not ppl of your caliber who are too dumb.

  There are other professionals why lawyers and accountants? Nobody is against professionals to be used to collate election results, but it is fishy and suicidal to use lawyers because most of them have already compromised their integrity of being openly partisan.Professionals should rather be encouraged to be polling agent like the example JJ Rawlings set in 2008 in Batama polling station in Kumasi.

  Any attempt by EC to use GBA to collate results or perform any role in the Dec. election is unacceptable. GBA has proven to be a political wing of NPP. Listen to the comments former president Okudzeto and current president Nutsukpui and you don't need God to tell you the evil intents of the GBA. If the GBA do not have any evil intent in the election they should honestly say no even if invited by EC.
