Continue to sing your stupidities. There was no hacking but the Ndc and the EC attempt to massage the numbers caused the system to crash.

Secondly, the ghost votes and the Togolese voters in Volta region couldn't vote. Ndc got over 800,000 votes in Volta region in 2012 but got only 500,000 votes in 2016.

Npp stopped the Ndc rigging machine from operating.

Perhaps the poster of "Thank you, President Mahama" is a beneficiary of John Mahama corruption machinery. He has got what he wants. Perhaps, he has four houses, foreign bank accounts, many cars and his kids are in America or Britain studying in good schools. Why won't he thank this corrupt president.

Ghanaians aregoing to chase you NDC thieves and looters.Wherever you NDC thieves have hidden your stolen monies, we shall uncover them. You should ashamed of yourself.

Joe Alaa you and the writer your ignorance and arrogance knows no bounds, what do you guys mean by mistake of the majority? You mean idiots of your kind in the NDC know what is best for the majority, granted that some of your were unemployable but simply lived good because of the handouts from NDC does not mean everybody thinks like you. What is the sycophantic writer of this stupid article thanking Mahama for, that he lost and handed over to the winner? Indeed you guys are extremely arrogant. The difference between Nana and JDM in terms of votes is over 1million, while when Nana lost to Mills the difference was a little over 40,000 votes so who should be congratulated for being democratic, continue to be arrogant and stupid, idiots.

44% is an F (failing grade) from Ghanaians - Mahama had no choice but to concede.

2016 ELECTIONS, NPP WON, NDC LOST, GHANA LOST

Do I have any regrets voting for continuity? Proudly NO, why should I? Despite the challenges facing the Ghanaian economy today, am proud that the NDC governments of Late Professor Mill and JDM have taken Ghana higher, in fact highest and generations yet unborn shall mention their names like my 4 & 6 year old daughters exclaim happily when I respond to their question " who built Tema, Akosombo etc, as Kwame Nkrumah so would their children ask who built the all new Saglemi Township

Not to bore you further, yes, am a proud believer in the JM continuity agenda because as Ghana was pronounced a lower middle income country in 2011 at the time we were obviously unprepared, we had to "paddle our own canoe" because we are no longer a candidate for long-term concession loan with grant elements aside losing huge annual budgetary support from our soo called development partners which hitherto contributed average 30% to annual budget as a country.

Alternatively, in the face of declining crude oil (new gold) prices and unfavourable global market prices for our exports, we needed to cut expenditures by removing subsidies, allowances etc, raise revenue through other sources while improving our infrastructure to meet the growing competition from our neighbours (ports, railway)

Yes, I choose JM because he took the hard decisions despite the threat of losing power.

Why do I believe Ghana has lost, it is my believe not because I hate Nana Addo, the President elect, neither do I hate the NPP but we have lived under their government. It is true that the sins of the father must not be visited on the son but the first NPP government came into power on the back of promises such as "converting all chop bars to modern restaurants" how ridiculous but Ghanaians bought into just like we have bought into the promise of an NPP government providing 1 district 1 factory which has changed to a private sector program.

The NPP sold a message of hopelessness to Ghanaians who ignorantly or blindly or both bought.

Let me not bore you further but just to mention that Ghana our beloved country is a shiny star amongst her peers (refer to UNDP data on human development index)amongst the highest par capital access to potable water, electricity, health services, roads, education, security, etc etc, in much of Africa.

Ghana, your Ghana, my Ghana, the second largest economy in West Africa is not HOPELESS, she is a challenged growing CHILD who is meandering her way to greater HIGHEST.

It is my prayer that vindictiveness does not cause destruction to her soul for the sake of generation yet unborn.

All Ghanaians who have fallen for the "empty hope" be patient while awaiting your BLUE HOPE.

My Comrades who supported the JM DREAM, we have a good story to tell our children, grand children and great grand children.

GOD BLESS OUR HOME LAND

there was no hacking, the outcome of the election is a true reflection of what the majority of Ghanaians wanted. Ghanaians wanted a change and that's exactly what happened. The beauty of the just concluded election is was that the incumbent conceded defeat prior to EC pronouncement and that is an epitome of maturity. Well done President Mahama, well Ghana !

Great statement. The forces that took power from Pres. Mahama are indeed varied, numerous and also divine. In al thisl however it is a blessing in disguise for the NDC..
l have no doubt in my mind that the evil things perpetrated against the good peopke of Ghana including the devastating mysterious bush fires would have resurfaced if Mahama & the NDC had won the 2016 election.
Let Mr Akufo Addo & the NPP take the power they so much desperately wanted.
We all were in this country & witnessed all the desperate machinations of Mr Akufo Addo & the NPP starting from day one with the ELECTION PETITION through all the pressure group activities & the market fires & the vitrolic opposition, media gangsterisms & the Bawumia's evil Foreigners on Rgister Campaign & evil lies churned out to the populce for 4 good years.
Despite all these MR. PRSIDENT, you delivered wonderful progress in all sectors of the economy. l challenge the incoming Akufo Addo govt to deliver in 8 years even half of what THE JOHN MAHANA govt. has achieved in 4 years.
We aint going nowhere, "President Do BIG" should deliver now, no time for big talks; the ball is SQUARELY in AKUFO ADDO's court now.
CHOOOOBOiiiii

Thank you, President Mahama
