The decision is a big blow to the machinations of NDC electoral thieves and their stooge at the EC, Madam Charlotte Alata, who has been made to understand wrongly that the word "independent" EC means that she is above the law and can do anything she wants as far as elections are concerned, regardless of fair play and dictates of the basic rules in our constitution or even the EC's own rules.

Mahama is so heartless, wicked and corrupt that he wouldn’t blink stealing from a helpless orphan. Please read the following:
Ghana’s President Hurls Insults At Obasanjo At African Forum In London - bloomberg

There was near pandemonium and confusion at the Annual Global African Investment Forum held in Westminster, Central London after a heated exchange between Ghana’s President John Mahama and former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo degenerated into open insults.This was due to General Obasanjo openly accusing the Ghanaian president and his government of blackmailing and collecting bribes from Nigerian businessmen in Ghana, buying numerous properties in Nigeria and South Africa and financially contributing 12 million dollars to Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign last year. This infuriated President Mahama who lost his temper and pointing his finger, called General Obasanjo an ” idiot” and a “silly buffoon”.It took other ministers present as well as Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni to calm tempers and usher President Mahama to a nearby room. The forum, which takes place from 1st to 3rd December is attended by African Heads of States, Ministers, Private equity firms and investors to discuss opportunities for investment and development in African Economies.

Culled from Bloomberg.

Still holed up in the North, as a test case to see how many votes you can garner? Kuffour remarked after the second round in 2000 that he thought the people of the North were going to vote NPP because of Aliu Mahama, but he got it all round. Merely picking a Northerner as a running mate does not translate into votes. We shall see how many Bawumia would garner this time round. He might even lose in his home constituency. Political parties especially NPP are too linear in their understanding of the North, which is not half as homogenous as the South especially Ashanti Region.

We are reading that SADA is audited by the Auditor General. Dr Bawumiah knows more than the combined might of workers and Auditor General?

I travel the Kumasi - Sunyani road every week. In mid 2012, the strech of less than half a kilometre at Mankranso was closed from JUNE 2012 TO MAY 2013. Most of us were naive enough to dream the stretch was being repaired (apparently it was during election period). I traveled the same stretch this very day. 4 years on, it still remains the same. This is especially cos the big politicians travel by air. I really wonder if the Ghanaian lives matter apart from asking us to say 'JM, toa so'! What nonsense!!!

Dr Bawumiah has become an expert at the term mismanagement. Nothing in Ghana has been managed very well if not by NPP?

The Chief Executive of SADA has confirmed that SADA was audited and there has always been transparency. Is the Auditor General equally inefficient? Resources are very limited and so the existence of SADA does not mean all problems solved.

Dr Nana Akuffo Addo and Dr Bawumiah were around during ex-President Kufour's era when Ghana Telecom was sold because of mismanagement. Why did they not take it over and manage it very well but have to sell it.

The term mismanagement is blatant insult of workers at SADA and not a swipe at the Government.

Mismanagement of SADA has increased poverty in the North – Bawumia
