    NPP is a level headed party. The MPs chose Bagbin believing he was a better candidate than Prof. Ocquaye. In the end Bagbin put party ahead of nation and dragged our democracy backwards.

  • Opoku 2 days ago

    Gladly it is difficult for some of you to understand simple English.Bagbin is saying that he did not get hundred percent support from the Ndc Mps.What is false about that?

    The Bible says that, we SHOUKD study to be quiet.

  • Andrew 2 days ago

    I am proud of the NPP MP’s who chose Ghana
    and competence over their party’s affiliations. NDC MP’s would never do such for an NPP candidate.

  • Didier 2 days ago

    So you chose Ghana by chewing those ballots that were cast, isn't it? May some powerful agradaa tear you down with immediate death. Kwasia like that.

    What is this?
