  NDC propaganda machinery tell us all Ghanaians are corrupt and born so but i beg to differ.When we take tro tro or a taxi there is no ndc foot soldier there to try make us pay a bribe before we can get in ,when i go and buy kenkey or even roasted plantain kofi brokeman there is no need to bribe anyone , no one needs to bribe the farmer,fisherman,market woman, teachers or private businessmen to do their jobs or render services.The moment i come close to anything where the ndc has a foot hold then the agony anguish and frustrations start as they demand bribes or foolish payments especially when they find out i am Akan.I notice that the modus operandi of crime,discrimination,injustices,prejudice,tribalism,hegemony,cruelty,buga buga bullying and corruption always has one common denominating factor and that is NDC membership. The first thing any criminal does is ensures he is above the law and seeks NDC membership,then the game of double standards start.If they are Ewes , Northerners or satellite allies such as the Gas/Adas then they are truly untouchable,if they are Akan then they can be used as sacrificial scapegoats(see Vicky Hammah and compare to Dzifa Dattivor rebranding).Yes NDC has become an accursed abomination that has put a dark cloud over the people.They know nothing about democracy or understand the principle of unity in diversity so assume a difference in opinion or approach is a sign of crumbling fortunes or disaster. They do not see that even though the Russians and Americans are always competing with each other they think that they are enemies but do not notice in every major war they are always allies on the same side ,the same way they interpret the diversity of the Akans to mean enmity which they think they can exploit. Turkey tried it but were surprised when the CIA confirmed the Russians were speaking the truth . That is the mindset of outsiders , foreigners and manipulative Muslim rats.These people can never be Ghanaians and must be driven out of our country so we have our peace of mind.We should employ the tactics , strategies and principles in Sun Tzu's Art of War "I will force the enemy to take our strength for weakness, and our weakness for strength, and thus will turn his strength into weakness" NDC are the enemy and we shall serve them such a resounding defeat that for the next 1000 years nobody will dream of enslaving our people ever again. They are afraid of encouraging unity in in diversity , equal rights for all as all they know is ONE mind NO brains as we see in primitive societies and countries like northern Korea and the majority of these useless Muslim countries. This philosophy of one mind no brains is the reason they were alarmed at Mahama being endorsed with only 95% votes , why we have hegemony and tribalism in these Ewe and Northerners , why the divine will of God which enables the people to choose will be sabotaged by their rigging. They have alienated themselves from the true desires of the people what just want a normal govt which will look out for their well-being and interests , NDC is nothing but a blind, cold hearted wicked mafia Al Capone style criminal organization which will only succeed in causing misery and tragedy. We have succeeded this year on exposing them next year we shall knock them out and bury them forever. When they killed Atta Mills we promised them Ghana will never be the same and we would bring them down , now we promise them we shall start with the body punches , dismantle the effectiveness of their props the security agencies and prepare the people for war. Let them buy their guns and we will show them that cutlasses and stones are more effective as for every one defender we field they have to have 10 and behind every one another 5 to support their logistics because we defend our homes and they are an unwelcome occupational force. Notice how everyone is now fed up with this pepeni govt,anybody who gets close to them eventually gets infected or contaminated with their corrupt lying ,deceitful one mind no brains foolish stupidity. We see now where Kufuor got his idiotic ideas from of making all Akans subservient to Manhyia annoying mainly the Fanti speakers and Brong Ahafo which enabled NDc to easily exploit this and return them to power to oppress us again, a real jump from frying pan to fire. He was fraternizing with pepeni Mahama , it seems he is slowly coming to his senses as nothing can beat unity in respecting diversity.Anything NDC touches becomes distasteful and a shame,today we rank as one of the most corrupt countries in the world even beating Nigeria in this nefarious notoriety.Our landscape is now an eyesore with more mosques than even Saudi Arabia,rubbish and unnecessary miserable poverty everywhere,a govt full of Alajihs and Ewes the rest are glorified house boys with no sense of decency or justice.JJ led this Islamisation and allying us with useless Arabs instead of those we could better ourselves with. Politics of lies glorified in Ghana started with Nkrumah who for example made the people believe he was a god like messiah and for example stole the idea of the Akosombo dam for bauxite processing from the original planner conceived in 1915 by geologist Albert Ernest Kitson. Jackie Kennedy (wife of JFK) wrote in her memoirs that he was a egoistic womanizing disaster in the making. Nkrumah then somersaulted and claimed it was the dam that caused the debt instead of admitting he had mismanaged our monies by giving it away to friends , cronies and foreigners, another idiot who wanted to create a one party state not respecting the concept of unity in diversity.

  The EC wants to have her cake and eat it too - she wants to keep a bloated register but reduce number of polling stations. Perhaps if she does some serious audits of the register and cleans up, then there would be justification for the stations reduction.
  The stations reduction is going to disenfranchise many voters and cause the frustration of long lines.

  Let's be honest! Some of the polling stations have no merit to be sited where they are. There should be a minimum quota of registrants to qualify for a polling in addition to distance.

  It is already out that the NDC is corrupt and dishonest. Nothing New ! What bothers the sane mind is how it has managed to choke the good conscience of the nation into submission.
  It is very surprising that the three organs of government have remained silent over an issue which has the most potential poignancy to turn this country into rubbles and chaos. We all belong to this dear nation and must put all political interests aside for the sake of our national safety . It would be hard for posterity to understand the logic behind our unwillingness to deal with this looming but preventable disaster. Our leaders lack senses of foreseability and actionable efforts to serve the nation. Why must we wait till we tear ourselves apart to realize the depth of our ineptitude or consequences of silence ? Are we not humans like other people around the globe who put exercise of common sense ahead of politics and self serving interests ? The safety of our nation must take precedence over NDC-NPP nonsense. Lets sit back introspectively to visualize many funeral weekends awaiting us all across the nation at the next election. It is a gloomy preventable spectacle all of us would detest, both NDC and NPP. Why is it not out of common interest to have a new Voter Register to clear the clouds of doubt and ensure credibility and consensus ? I am concerned with the safety of our nation not for NDC or NPP. We are tired of their political nonsense. The EC must not dig any more deeeper holes for our nation and West Africa: we have had enough in Liberia, Sierra Leone and our neighbouring confines.

  We the following regions have declared today that we owe no allegiance to any party and therefore we will vote based on development and state of life in Ghana. The regions include: Greater Accra Central Western Brong Ahafo and Northern Volta can keep to NDC as they are known for Ashanti can keep to NPP as has always Eastern can veer towards NPP as usual Upper East and West can veer towards NDC as usual. We GMR value our votes and and we will vote based on how serious and competent a government is committed to the country development and youth. We will vote based on how the government is corrupt free. You may join if you want. No government can take the youth of the country for granted. We dont want our regions to be taken for granted. Amenfi West showed the way

  EC SHOULD ENSURE THAT THE SLASHING OF ABOUT 1000 POLLING STATIONS SHOULD NOT COMPROMISE THE CREDIBILITY OF THE RESULTS IN 2016 ELECTION. ALL EYES ARE WATCHING EVERY MOVE EC IS MAKING FOR ELECTION 2016.

  I think one of the Core aim of the manufacturer of a Bio-metric Voters Equipment, is its ability to work continuous through out.So what is the EC talking about.Why would the EC want to create more polling Stations without even her first hand experience on the Job,instead to use existing P/Stations.And want to create as much as 1000 new ones.So it's b'cos of that flimsy Excuses this Alata Fantse Charlotte Osei wants the Taxpayer to Cough 1.2bn Cedis to Conduct 2016 elections!. How many 1st time Voters are there and how many old Voters died.And how many New Communities emerged within the past 3years.I am beginning to Suspect that.Creating of New Polling Stations
  may be a Conduit to Rig Presidential election in favour of the incumbent.
  A Highly Indebted Corrupted Poor Nation!. AMERI Christmas and a Happy branding.

  Sorry, ignore my comment. I deviated from slash of 1000 P/Station,
  However,does it make Sense to Slash
  as much as 1000 Polling Stations, b'cos the Taxpayers would not grant the EC ,1.2bn. The best thing to do is to Resign the Office of the EC of Ghana,if you're Serious.How did you come by the figure of 1000 polling Stations?. A typical African diabolical attitude to Create Confusion and hardships on Voting day to justify overestimate; b'cos the Taxpayer would not Cough 1,2bn !. Resign for a better person,pls.
