One will think that upon all that we are seeing Mahama destroying Ghana, people will not even think about the very stupid reason for electing the caliber of mahama to power in the first place. Gentle.... blacks never learn.

IF NANA WILL LOOSE SHOULD NDC SUPPORTERS NOT JUST SIT QUIETLY FOR HIM TO LOOSE SO THAT THEIR CANDIDATE WINS? WHY ARE YOU NDC MEMBERS MOVING HEAVEN AND EARTH AGAINST A NANA PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATURE? ANSWER IS SIMPLE NDC IS SCA ...

THESE TWO not THIS TWO.
Study your concord well.
This comparison is baseless,political maturity at the period was not the same as today.In any case Ghana was by then just coming out of the AFRC regime,today we're in 22years of the 4TH republic.
Well done John. The comparison is the work of a lazy journalist who writes cowdung---very useless article
Don't be so biased you cannot see the truth.
All the factors mentioned in the article are legit and might hold water today just as they did way back.
So NDC propagandists have moved from adding 2 years to 5 years to Nana's age in order to say he is almost an octogenarian!
The basis of the comparison is woefully wrong. Did Limann and Victor contested in Primaries? What was the percentage or ballot cast difference between Limann and Victor at that time? What are the same values between Nana and ...

YES, IT IS GOOD TO MAKE REFERENCE BUT WHAT YOU NOT LOOKING AT IS THE MINDSET OF THE VOTERS.
WE ARE FED UP.
I think you are out of your sense to make such incomparable analysis.pls be very honest to yourself and be very clear in your mind that you are making a very wrong analogy. ok.
KNOW MATTER HIGH HIGH ALAN CAN REACH KNOW WAY FOR HIM TO REACH NANA IN THE POLLS.
The Limann/Victor Owusu contest was inter -party which Limann won on the usual national tribal--anti-Ashanti basis. Now the Akufo Ado/Kyeremanteng contest is intra -party and the usual national tribal nonsense does not exist ...

Bravo you are very good thinker God bless you.

IF ALAN IS MADE THE FLAG AND AKUFO ADDO HIS VICE THAT WILL BE A STRAIGHT TICKET TO VICTORY COME 2016. BAWUMIA CAN BE MADE GOVERNOR OF BoG/FM AND GHANA WILL BE A PARADISE.
IF NANA IS FLAGBEARER AND ALAN IS VICE, BAWAMIA AT BOG CAN ALSO BE GOOD
The contents of your article matches your name (SLOW) to the core. You do deserve that name - your thinking is on equal footing with your name. Good job!!!!! S L O W !!!!
The comparison is good but what we learn from here is that Limann´s inexperience was the invitation that brought Rawlings to power again and his corrupt and inept NDC.
Let us draw the conclusion! Better Nana as Alan! Alan w ...

So
PNP was not a Danquah-Busia-Dombo traditional party. Please author, you need a real education. You NDC people are really incompetent. Gets your facts together
What an idiot. If 60 is young when is Alan expecting to be matured enough to be president
NANA CAN WIN THE NPP PRIMARIES. UNFORTUNATELY, GHANAIANS HAVE SHOWN HIM THE EXIT TWICE. THEY ARE NOT READY FOR A 72 YEARS OLD MAN. HE DOES NOT HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO BECOME A PRESIDENT. HIS LAW BACKGROUND IS A LITTLE DOUBTFUL ...

Nana Akuffo Addo WILL struggle to convince the Ghanaian electorate to vote him president.His negatives have actually increased,the latest and biggest one being his age.
Nana Akufo Addo is not corrupt and the only person who can transform Ghana.NDC has nothing to offer Ghanaian's looking at their track record they are only interested in create,loot and share and visionless Mahama worst presid ...

Yes all drug dealers are working hard for the cartel leader to become president so that they can turn the country once more into a cocaine coast. Never will this happen again
SO YOU WANT TELL US THAT THERE IS NO CIVILIZED PERSON IN NPP OR GHANA BESIDES NANA, C'MON MAN, THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX A BIT. GO BACK TO 2008 AND 2012 AND DO SOME ANALYSIS, YOU WILL SEE THAT THERE IS NO WAY NANA CAN BEAT MAHAMA ...

This is the most stupid comparismI have seen in my life. How can you compare an inter-party election to a intra-party election. The 1979 election was a national election, which pitted the PNP on the Nkrumah tradition to the P ...

You are right, the write is dumb and his/her editor is shirking his responsibilities. These fatal errors should never be condoned!!
Even Alan himself knows that Nana Akufo-Addo will not be beating.
October 18,2014 is just around the corner and we live to see.
Alan must tremble at the name of Nana Akufo-Addo.
and what happened after Limann became president
It is incredibly important for the NPP to unite as a mother party in the country to operate with one credible front to win any future election.The present mudslinging and under cutting of opponents existing in the mist of the ...

If The Republic is the source, dismiss this report.
Alan will never lead npp. In his life because he is very selfish. He thinks he is better than everyone in npp.
Alan has lost credibility in NPP, we the delegates don't trust him any longer, Nana is our trusted candidate.
Dreaming is part of humanity. It is only 'the dead' that does not dream.
ALAN DREAM ON !!!!!!!
You can give it all names. If Allan is wise he should by now declare his position to go with Nana Addo so that we save the necessary money for 2016. He is finished after October 18th.
Times have changed and so is the political terrain since 1979. Besides, propaganda tool is always impregnated with skewed analysis like the Republican's.
I bet you if the delegates would be totally independent and honest i ...

Mr Opare, this is a lazy intellectual work you have been contracted to do and i can tell you that you are only day dreaming.
NANA ALL THE WAY .....NO NANA NO VOTE ....ITS NANA TIME
This analysis is 'bogos'... the comparison here does not link-up with anything present.
Alan an ambitious, divisive destructive element within the party. His methods and strategies are hurting the party
Who is getting the facts mixed up, the sourse or the journalist? PNP did not preceed NPP! Akuffo Addo is not 75.
This paper just wanted to print a message and never bothered to ensure the truth was being reported. The compar ...

WE ARE TIRED OF PROMISES OF A TSUNAMI, SHOCKER, SOOCER, THIRD WORLD WAR, WHATEVER. BRING IT ON, ALAN!!!!!!!
Comparing Limann and Victor Owusu on one hand and Akufo Addo and Alan on the other is like comparing oranges and apples.
DEEP THROAT SOURCES HAVE REVEALED THAT, OKATAKYIE OPOKU AGYEMAN HAS SEEN THE ERROR OF HIS WAYS AND STATEMENTS AND THROWN IN THE TOWEL, MAKING OVERTURES AND SEEKING TO SUPPORT NANA AKUFO ADDO.
Is Alan's group going to rig?
Mr red nose aka Alan cash you will regret for going to the second round
Wishful thinking! Huh! Only in your dreams.
THIS IS A MOST INFANTILE ANALYSIS TO COME FROM A MAN. IT'S SO CHEAP IT MAKES ONE WONDER. Hugghh!
FREE SPEECH, I SUPPOSE.
This is a silly article. The PNP is not the predecessor party of the NPP.
Every first grader in Ghana knows this.
MARK MY WORDS NPP CONFUSED:COM PERUOD

WHY DO NDC FEARS NANA ADDO SO MUCH, WHY AH?
We are not going to vote for anybody who was born after 1957 to come and cause mess again like we are seeing now. We now need a mature person. Not someone who will come and loot the national covers.
Foolish and useless story
Get it into your brain. Nana will surely be chosen as the presidential candidate on October 18, 2014. Stop the nonsense game. Alan can't be compared to Nana. These are two separate people.
NPP should consider defeat to NDC if akofo addo win npp presidential candidate for 2016
nana is still the best to lead gh, with his long experience in polities.
I am a floating voter and I won't vote for a 75 years oldman. I will vote for Alan
Then you are one of the fools who vote without thinking.
I have never read any article so foolishly written. All the analysis made are hollow and a drain of water to dry. Most of the comparisons made are full of lies. Number one Alan Kyeremateng is 67 years while Nana Addo is barel ...

The words of a sage.
Thank you Wrong Facts (I love your monicker.)
The Republic, check your facts again. The PNP is not the predecessor party to to the NPP. The two have little or nothing in common.

Albert opare your so called NPP analyst is known Alan sympathizer and an ardent critic of Nana Addo. That should tell you his end of the story. How much dirt is on Nana for the NDC to slaughter him? If he has that much on him ...

This is pure wishful THINKING. Forget about the context because there is no context, Alan.
Either nana or alan none of them will win for 2016 they would still be in the bush
Fellow Christians, note that a vote for nana is a vote for bawomia and a vote for bawomia is a vote for Islam. a vote for Islam? hmmmmmmmmm
NO ALAN NO VOTE! Get the facts right: Imoro Egala is not Liman's uncle and PNP is not a predesessor party of NPP.
Akufo-Addo in for shocker...

The President of Isreal is 90 years. So dont worry about his age.
