Nana is the obvious choice. Even if he decide not to context we will have to go for special Congress to choose Bawumiah against Alan. The truth is that we the people have decided to put Nana and Bawumiah in the front lines to lead us to victory. No amount of sweet talks can change wonna minds.

Katakyie,when diplomatic passports in a secured "safe" seating in your office gets missing & lands in the hands of drug dealers, a business you're widely believed to be involved in, what will you call that?. It is corruption in the highest order & criminal by all standards. So the argument that Nana Addo is not corrupt is an insult to the good people of this country.

You are the biggest threat to the unified NPP front. Remember, the suffering and downtrodden majority in Ghana will never forgive you if we should fail in this endeavor of voting NDC out!

EVERY INDICATOR POINTS TO GHANAIANS WANTING NANA ADDO TO RUN THE COUNTRY.

BECAUSE OF YOUR SELFISHNESS, YOU ARE PUTTING THE INTERESTS OF THE NATION AND NPP ASIDE.

NO ONE WILL WANT ALAN TO WIN THE NPP SLOTE MORE THAN THE NDC.

IF YOU REALLY WANT THE NPP TO BE IN POWER FROM 2016, YOU WILL NOT BE ROOTING FOR ALAN KYERAMATEN.

IF YOU SABOTAGE NANA ADDO, AND BY IMPLICATION THE NPP, YOUR CANDIDATE WILL NOT BE FORGIVEN BY THE PARTY.

AFTER ALL, WHO WANTS SOMEONE WHO, ONCE, LEFT THE PARTY BECAUSE HE DID NOT GET HIS WAY?

I would like to know the objective indications that point to the fact that Ghanaians want Nana Addo. Most Ghanaians vote one tribal lines or party affiliations or likeability of the candidates. Economy has never been very high on the list. On the contrary most Ghanaians think the economy and corruption would be the same under any political party.

Thanks for your comments. I have always voted for Nana Addo but let's all face the fact that he is a threat to the electoral fortunes of the NPP. Presenting him again in 2016 will be a disaster for the NPP. It is very sad that the party has allowed him to manipulate the minds and emotions of the great party for his personal interest.

Like the Bibical Noah, the hardened majority are blinded and deafened. Do not relent on opening their eyes to the coming 'flood'. The only problem is when they lose they will turn round and blame you for being truthful.

Victor Owusu wrestled Our flagbearership from Paa Willie, Kufour took it from Adu Boahen, and now Alan wants to wrestle it from Nana Addo. If Alan succeeds, non-Akans will shun the party and the NPP shall remain in opposition forever. Our best bet is the Nana-Bawumia ticket. Okatakyie is working for the NDC party. Stop the personal attack on Nana and tell us what Alan plans to for Ghana.

The Truth is that Akufo Ado did not deal effectively with with NDC propaganda on his person. Now they are going to add his age and health. NPP will have a tough time to defend all these. The best for NPP this time is to field a 'striker' but not a 'defender' if it wishes to score a goal. Free advice!

Anybody who love NPP to come back to power in 2016 & 2020 would never suport AKUFUF ADDO for the 4th time to lead THE PARTY .- presenting Akuffu ADDO FOR 2016 is like already given prez mahama 20% of victory .nobody should fooled him/herself that due to the economical challenges currently facing the Country as a great Chance for NPP,economical situations and life of ghanaians can Change before the General election , and those who are of this view should cast their mind back at the previous elections and campagins- and ask themself why NPP lost in 2008? upon all k4 led NPP interventions , programs and policies, oil found and etc still npp couldnt capture victory why?- dont tell me it was a stollen verdict- because the trend in our elections Point to it as a fact that a Party of majority in parliament becomes an automatic winner of the election so those who are hiding behind the suprem court contest as a propagander should be honest to themselfs and find a better solution to their Problems.

let take IVORY COAST elections for eg:

and ask yourself why the world leaders were mute on Ghana and even congratulate the elected prez Mahama?

in ivory coast it was the mandated Body for election who declared the then Gbabo the winner but some world leaders were of different views so they suported the Opposition to clear off Laurent Gbabo .unlike in Ghana- they were all convince that NDC won the election legitimately so the propagander of stollen verdict cannot hold in 2016 election campaigns.

The Facts of the matter is those who are publicly suporting Akuffu Addo at this time do so in fear of their lifes ,so it Shows how extremly violent Akuffu Addo can go but would secretely vote against him at the polls.

now the reason if you bring Akuffu Addo is 20% victory for John dramani Mahama is that - if the economical situations currently in the Country changes before the General elections which i am 90% convince , the old campaigns Messages will be revisted , so by reaching to that stage Akuffu Addo is already down by 10-20% + incumbancy.
NPP deligates should not sitdown to be fooled by Akuffu Addo to gamble their political fortunes.

anybody who is difused in mind about this comments should put the akuffu Addo in a microscope and make an honest microscopic Diagnose and digestions about who is
1. AKUFFU ADDO

2. what has he able to achieve in life

3. what has he done for his People as a politician- (both member of parliament and Minister)

4. the public demded answers of his law credentials

5. apart from npp led by k4 policies and interventions as a political Party what are akuffu addo visions? dont tell me free education because it is already constitutional in the Country.

AND TELL ME WHAT MAKES THE 73yrs Akuffu Addo more Special than other contestants?

eg

somebody like Apraku IS AN ECONOMIST

2. sombody like dr frimpong Boaten a Special hearts surgery
2
3. Alan is also a lawyer and Economist

who is Akuffu ADDO?

why did NPP deligates gave the Notion to Akuffu Addo both 2008 &2012 ? was it not that he Akuffu Addo had been around since the Formation of NPP ?

so if we are to go by the same principles ,why should a deligate choose Bawumia as against THE LIKES OF APRAKU or Alan ?

Nana Akufo-Addo is as good a candidate for the Ghana presidency as anyone who ever contested for the position. We also know the effectiveness or amount of corruption that attributed to each of our military and or civilian governments have been inspired by culture and acceptance of mediocrity as norm in Ghana. And for those Ghanaians who have tried to establish some standards to guide us measure performance of our leaders and or political parties our efforts are hampered along the way by character flaws of hypocrisy and tribal loyalties. In the end there are no marked differences between politicians and or political parties.
So while I commend Nana Akufo-Addo loyalists for standing firm behind their man, the notion that he is not corrupt is not only a joke but a sign of possible blindness, no offense to the truly blind. Is it not corrupt to see acts of corruption and breach of faith by NPP card carrying members if Nana Akufo-Addo, a former AG of Ghana looks the other way as crimes or breach of faith occurs under his very nose? Is it not because of Nana Akufo-Addo’s see no evil, hear no evil trait that makes him preferred over other more principled NPP officials? Could these traits have been the reason Kufour chose Nana as the AG, and or Foreign minister? When is it appropriate to use aiding and abetting laws of Ghana if Nana Akufo-Addo did not fit the law for his inaction during the Kufour administration when state lands were being parceled out as gifts for cronies? Is there any other circumstance a minister living in a government owned bungalow can buy the property as Jake Obetsebi-Lamptey did even as Nana Akufo-Addo looked on without moral conscience? Let us not degenerate to a point in Ghana we begin to think there are no thieves in Ghana but those behind bars; I presume most in Ghana are angels waiting for a call from heaven to get their flying wings.
