Voodoo Statistics! And were you really expecting Mr. 'You and I were not there', and his cabal, to do anything better?
Although Jake may no longer be part of the mix, but this incessant campaign to hoodwink the Ghanaian voter continues unabated!
The amazing thing though is that what, the gulible among us, continue to lap the 'nonsense' up!

I quote from the writers own article.(If this assertion is anything to go by, then Ghana’s population in 2011 would be 2.5% of 2500000 = 625,000, adding this figure to 25,000,000 = 25,625,000).This writer should have taken ... read full comment

Koo, please be fair to the writer. It is only the first figure that he missed a zero; that is, instead of 25,000,000, he wrote 2,500,000. You can however noticed that in the subsequent figures, he added 625,000 to 25000000 an ... read full comment
Koo, please be fair to the writer. It is only the first figure that he missed a zero; that is, instead of 25,000,000, he wrote 2,500,000. You can however noticed that in the subsequent figures, he added 625,000 to 25000000 and not 2500000 that's why he had 25,625,000 and not 2,562,500 as you seem to portray. Again, the writer never based his calculations on 62,500 in the rest of the calculations and therefore does not make the analysis flawed. Check your facts next time.

But is this enough to spend money that the government doesn't have to start a whole new register? I still don't understand why the NPP aren't challenging these voters and having them deleted from the register. Delete the suspect voters from the register and get rid of the bloat.
Unless it's millions of paper documents in file cabinets, I don't see a reason to start a whole new register.

Why waste your precious time on an idiot and Akufo Addo's smelling anus licking kejetia economist like Bawumia. I don't know why he has allowed himself to be used by these tribal bigots and criminals. Akufo Addo is pushing this stupid Mamprusi donkey but he has no sense to wise up. No wonder he is married to a Fulani who does not water under pant and who was offering free sex on campus. What sense has this idiot whose father, through the NDC. gave him that his so called educations. If this guy has any sense. he would have learned from the experience of the late Aliu. Bawumia is a pathological liar and a pathetic fool to the core. Since when has the statistical services been credible to him ? Donkeys with PhDs.

You NDC apologists never cease to amaze me with your selective logic (or lack of it), as you strive to defend the indefensible.
The official 2014 demographics show that Ghana’s total population is 25,758,108. Of that, a whopping 38.6 or 9,932,274 are under 14 years of age. So even including the 15 to 17 year olds, just 61.4 or 15,815,478 are eligible to vote. That means if the electoral register has 14,000,000, an incredible 88.5% of the eligible voters are registered to vote in national elections.
Even in Europe where registration is mandatory (voting is not) and where people can register online in the comfort of their living rooms, countries do not achieve that level of registration. In fact, there is no country in the democratic world that achieves 50% national registration. And of course, even Afari-Djan admitted in 2012 that Ghana’s electoral register is over-bloated and not fit for purpose
Check the results of Election 2012 and it will give you some idea why Kpone Katamanso, Ga West and Adetan have such increases. Joe, maybe you and Asiedu Nketia should speak to Yaw Boateng-Gyan (from the Ghana Cote d’Ivoire borders) and Dr Kwabena Adjei from (Nkonya-Ntsumuru on the Togolese borders) about the figures form the border areas. Get my drift?

This is what's wrong with Ghana. Ghanaians who continue to take short cuts. Instead of allowing the auditing process to work and become mature you instead make 10 million Ghanaians, who are on the register legitimately, go through the process of registering.
I could care less about NDC or NPP. A "new" register does nothing to guarantee that these parties or others won't try elaborate tricks to get unqualified people on the register.

Bawumia is the most useless character with the PhD title on this planet earth! .He is just misleading Ghanaians all the time! .Remember the pink sheet story in 2012 ,with the accompanying statement that "you & I were not there ".How absurd! .Meanwhile,these are people who think they need Volta votes to win power,yet you turn around to antagonize them.I am not surprise because the Danquah/Busia tradition,where they are coming from is so diabolic in character & nature.They are as cunning as the fox & as murderous as the wolf.Ghanaians have to guard against them.This is the time for the regions they have mentioned to teach them a lesson in 2016!.Like I have been saying,God has His own way of making NPP lose elections,especially with this certificateless character as their flagbearer! .
