The fact that no party in the past complained as is being done now does not mean Afari Djan's previously supervised elections were not without hiccups. In the past the man got away with wrongdoing and became swollen-headed. W ...

Dr. Jonas alarmist perspective feeds into your biased mind to start attacking AFARI dJAN? aRE YOU FOLLOWING THE COURT CASE? GHANA IS BETTER THAN WHAT YOU PERCEIVE IT TO BE!!!
what ever happen after, we should blame nana addo,he want to be president at all cost, we are ready to face what ever will come. no fear atall, afterall, ALL DIE BE DIE.
BLAME GREEDY AFARI GYAN
We do not pray for war but when war comes will be swift to reach the doorsteps of the warmongers. The war will end on that shapeless head of the so called nana.
As long as you don't hide behind a computer but step outside. It takes 2 or more people to fight and die. Death is an equal opportunity event, remember that
Ghanaians are fatigued from military interventions in Ghana, but this unsavory and uncontrollable appetite for political power may derail our infant democracy—but for the worse.
If one listens to what goes on Ghana radio ...
