    another fool. The only way you can erase the akan tag is to kick our all akan members out from the party. Even if you have 10% akan members in the party, NDC will still label npp and akan party. So instead of falling into the ...

    Akan people have dominated the party with their foolishness, making it difficult for people to join the party with free heart.

  • insight to the bone 10 years ago

    2000 years of Akan glorious history can not be replaced by 50 just because ndc , nkrumah pepeni and ayigbe criminals say so or want it so. Today i listen to my psalms , hymns and war songs by bob marley and 2pac just like Dav ...

    Idiots. Unscrupulous elements like you, Kwak and Me, should have respect for your elders. Tribalistic assholes like you are a disgrace to Ghana.

  • JJ 10 years ago

    Its soo clear for everyone to see except the Akans who run the party hence why they keep saying its not soo.Bunch of power hungry individuals who feel they will lose their power if the NPP is more diverse. What a joke

  • Remove Indemnity Clause 10 years ago

    When NPP comes to power all Ghanaians benefit.NDC is an Ewe party and they will even vote for a dog who stands on NDC ticket in the Volta Region.

  • ' and Jesus wept ' 10 years ago

    Come on! What is the population of Ewes in Ghana for the NDC to continue to win elections. Let's call a spade a spade. Attitude like this will not help the NPP. Mahama is doing fine and he will continue to do better for the n ...

    Only an idiot can not see that the NPP is aimed at serving the needs of the Akan people not the people of Ghana. To hell with them all until they realise they are to serve the needs of the people of Ghana. Unfortunately we ar ...

    By their fruit we shall know them. They think they are wise as such, will never take advise from anyone. In fact, they will still be in opposition come 2016. Amen!

    "LET TREAT THEM WITH RESPECT" is another insult. This is a clear indication that NPP has in their sleeves as Akan party but trying to bring in Ewes and Northerners. And the motive behind is to get votes from these people. One ...

  • NPP Cardbearer 10 years ago

    This is all nonsensical. What can be done about the uneven voting partings in the Akan dominated regions as opposed to the Ewe dominated region?
    For instance the share of votes to the NDC and the NPP in Akan dominated Ashant ...

    This Amoako Tuffour is an interesting character I suppose. Was he not the one who said Dr. Bawumia is not qualified to lead the npp? Deep down in his heart because he comes from the north.

  • ABLETSI 10 years ago

    THE AKAN TAG ESPECIALLY ASHANTI PARTY WILL ONLY BE ERASED FROM THE NPP IF ALAN KYEREMANTEN AND THE OTHER ASHANTI GROUP COULD STEP DOWN FOR NANA ADDO TO GO FOR THE THIRD TIME LIKE THE LATE PROF MILLS OF THE NDC.

    Akans form the largest ethnic grouping in Ghana. If a party were to allocate positions in proportion to population of tribal groupings, Akans will still form the majority.

  • Pelicles 10 years ago

    Some Ghanaians have accepted the foolishness being peddled by NDC that NPP is an Akan party. Why is NPP an Akan party? If the party goes to congress to elect their presidential candidate, do they choose only "akans" to elec ...

    The problem for NPP's defeat is not about Akan tag but about maturity and wrong political rhetorics.They must look for a new paradigm and a new face.Thank you.

  • Wiafe 10 years ago

    Dr Tuffuor should rather direct his energy in telling NDC to shed its tribal garb. Was he in Ghana when Mahama told Ghanaians that Northerners should vote for him because he is a northerner? Was he in Ghana when Rawlings decl ...

    If only NPP and its following can do away with the insulting of a section of Ghanaians then the perception it is an Akan party will be corrected.The Late Victor Owusu's infamous 'Ewes are inward looking people' and statements ...

  • Asamankese 10 years ago

    This is a game play by NDC to cow you guys in NPP. There is no need to worry yourself to remove any tag. See yourself as competent and confident. Why should you sit for NDC to dictate to you as tell you who you're? If majorit ...
