But we have such a senseless and weakest President fellow country men and women, what should we expect as a nation?

The entire NDC so-called politicians are all "BENTOA", salt, cooking oil, sardine, rice, money, cutlasses and
other material distributor politicians, what should we expect?

In which country in this world can we see a credible and dynamic politician
influencing a voter with either money
or any other material to by their vote?

This can only happen under NDC fucking regime which as a result our sovereignty is now hopeless and foolish.

Vote the NDC PARTY OUT in 2016.

THEY HATE AND MAKE FUN OF THE PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED. THEY HAVE NO RESPECT FOR ANYONE EXCEPT MEMBERS OF THEIR GROUP.

(1) THEY HATE OUR WOMEN. Calling for a law that will allow them to stone women when they make mistakes. They are not satisfied with stripping our women naked and whipping them on the streets. '3y3 kanea 3y3 haan'.

(2)THEY ARE CONSTANTLY INSULTING THE CLERGY

(3) THEY SCORN THE PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED. Ivor's Greenstreet's condition is constantly made fun of by the NDC PARTY. They said the CRIPPLE MUST STAND UP TO SEE OUR 'GOOD WORKS'. NDC have NO HEART.

VOTE NDC OUT BEFORE THEY DESTROY GHANA WTH ANTI-AKAN POLITICS

VOTE THE PROMISE MANIAC, CLUELESS, NO VISION, IDEAS STARVED AND HOPELESS YOUNG MAN CALLED MAHAMA OUT IN 2016

NDC IS A PARTY THAT PREACHES ON TRIBAL LINES KUST TO STEAL NON AKAN VOTES ,

THEY USED ABUDUS AND ANDANIS,

THEY USED NYEBRO,

THEY USED ADZE WO FIE A OYE,

THEY USED I AM A NORTHERNER SO NANA ADDO SHOULD FORGET NORTHERN VOTES,

BUT IF NANA SAYS WE AKANS THAT ONE IS BELOW THE BELT

THEY USED IF NPP AN AKAN PARTY NEEDS NORTHERN VOTES THEY SHOULD BRING BAWUMIA,

THEY USED CUTLASES AND CLUBS AND SAID IF YOU ARE AKAN YOU DONT HAVE A PLACE IN ODODODIODIO,

BUT IF KEN AGYAPONG REPLY BY SAYING IF THAT IS IT THEN AKANS SHOULD ALSO USE CUTLASES ON GAs IN AKAN AREA, HE WAS TAGED TRIBALIST,

IT GOES ON AND ON NDC TRYING HARDLY TO TAGGED NPP AN ETHNIC POLITICAL PARTY

THA IS NDC ONLY POLITICAL WEAPON SO THEY TRY TO BUILD STRONG EMPHASIS ON IT AGAINST NPP

JUST TO DECIEVE NON AKANS AND STEAL THEIR VOTES FOR THEIR OWN INTEREST

This is not true, unless Asanti and Volta Regions change their tribal voting patterns.
As far as I know it is only the Central Region (the premier region) which sometimes vote on issues. Come again, IEA

Check the constituencies in the Ashanti Region with NDC MPs.They are all populated by northerners so you don't have a point.Also,NDC gets quite a considerable amount of votes in the Ashanti Region because the region isn't populated by only Asantes even though they are the majority.You would find people from almost every tribe in Ghana,living there.If people from other tribes moved out of the Ashanti Region,you would see a significant difference in the voting margin.It would be the same as what you see in the Volta Region

I HAVE MY DOUBTS ABOUT THE FINDINGS OF THIS SURVEY. IF PEOPLE VOTE ON issues, programmes and the calibre of candidates, a far departure from the past when most electors voted based on the ethnicity, religion, region and familiar affiliation of contestants, WE WILL NOT BE LED BY A FOOLISH PARTY FOR 26 YEARS.

Pause and reflect on what influence your decision on who you vote for. If your decision is influenced by the APPEARANCE of a candidate and not his/her COMPETENCE, you are a FOOLISH VOTER. If you are someone who is fond of exchanging your VOTE for a GIFT, you are a FOOLISH VOTER. If you don't care about who you vote for, all that matters is that he belongs to the party you like, you are also a FOOLISH VOTER. Finally, if your vote is influence by TRIBAL AFFILIATION, you are a VERY FOOLISH VOTER. Remember, your action affects all of us. THINK BEFORE YOU VOTE

This is absolute nonsense. What do they use as the bases for this bogus and an attempt to win vote for a drug addict like Akufo Addo. Why not just tell Ghanaians to vote for that stupid old man instead?Ghanaians are wiser than you stooges.Vote on what?You people are kidding.Do I hear you say there is no evidence of ethnic/tribal discriminations? You people are confused.Where were you when Kufour came to power to sack Ewes and other none Ashanti/Akyems from their works. Ewes suffered most especially those in the Army and other security services.What about the recent irresponsible statament by that dirty ugly black idiot called Osafo Mafo? Give us a break. Ghanaians know how to vote.Fuck you people.Who wants a dangerous tribal party led by a foolsih useless old man Like Akufo Addo to lead Ghana.God forbid.Mahama may not be doing well but its not that passport thief Akufo Addo and his self centred drug trafficking family members who can change this country,They only want to come and loot the rest of what have been salvaged from them. Mierda!
