    I would have recommended Parliamentary elections to be non partisan making constituents fully responsible for letting their own representatives.

    I support you but the parties will still find a way to.destroy that by sponsoring their people to compete. This will make the MPs more accountable to their constituents than a political party they support.

    @Ewvevi, these perceived neutrals in Ghana are very shallow in their thinking. I suggest the government commission him to go round the country to fish out NDC and NPP candidates.

    I just don't understand the NDC white paper on the election of DCE/MCE. It's the same position that NPP took when they were in power and NDC promised to elect DCE/MCEs. Now the NDC has gone back to the NPP position. The presi ...

    No elections in Ghana can ever be apolitical. Every aspect of our life has been politicised, therefore it is practically impossible to separate political parties from MMDCE elections. Let's not kid ourselves!
