The EC is one of the most useless, deceitful, untrustworthy and corrupt so-called independent organisations in Ghana. How can you elect 18 member body without checking their background? What was the purpose of 5.4 million ghc they collected from NDC? The electoral register is not fit for purpose.

Nkrumah was a communist dictator and Mr. Ashanti is communist relic. The white man left us with a parliamentary system in which the prime minister can go on ruling as long as he remains the leader of his party and the party also wins power every five years.

When Nkrumah lost his parliamentary seat at Bokum Square in Accra, and was no longer eligible to enter parliament let alone become prime minister of the country, he changed the system into a corrupted presidential/parliamentary system in which the checks and balances of both systems were removed, leaving him with absolute powers and later on turned Ghana into a one party state.

If Nkrumah had wanted to rule Ghana throughout his life and has the support of the electorate to renew his mandate every five years credibly, there was no problem because the system supports that and we saw Tony Blaire ruling for more than ten years and finally relinquished power to Brawn in his third five year term. But the system also has its own checks and balances embedded in it, and we saw what happened to Margaret thatcher in 1990.

Like Nkrumah, Mr. Ashanti wants us to remain in the presidential system without real separation of powers as found in the Rawlings Green Book Constitution, and without 2-term limit to enable the relics turn our country into another one party state. Let Mr. Ashanti get it into his head that we can either choose a parliamentary system without term limits or the presidential system with limits and real separation of powers.

Anybody who carefully studied our constitution would realize that it was made to sustain dictatorship, and that's why I call it Rawlings Green Book. From the horse's own month represented by Bagbin, the hands and legs of our parliament are tied by the constitution to render it ineffective. We can't be proud and say that we have separation of powers in our system because the parliament is deliberately made to be a tool and decoration for the executive.

Our system is neither parliamentary nor presidential because the former has a prime minister (first among equals) who sits in parliament with his ministers only chosen from it and shares the chamber with the opposition and its leader for face to face deliberation of policies. The parliamentary system has its own checks and balances embedded in it. The presidential system on the other hand, is based on strict separation of powers (Executive, Legislature and Judiciary) to check the executive president with vast powers from abusing those powers, which are not available to the prime minister who governs through the parliament and not outside of it as the executive president does.

In Ghana, we have an executive presidential system without the needed checks and balances to prevent abuse because our parliament is shackled by the constitution to serve as another organ of the executive. I believe it was deliberately done to serve the dictatorial tendencies of Rwalings, and I blame Rawlings and his PNDC Cuban-Style Communist Dictatorship for all these shortcomings in our constitution.

The mere fact that members of the Council of State are appointed by the sitting president and leave office when he leaves renders them ineffective, far more ineffective than the parliamentarians.

Your statements can create problems as Judges and therefore you better stop such obvious cautions. Every EC will want credible register but how and when? Please look at the Judges and corruption. Can you change this?

During the petition trial his conclusion and reasoning was the worse of the lot because he was vacillating all over the place and hardly touched ground.

In fact he is an npp judge and such careless statements will rather do more harm than good.

Where do you live in the usa you idiot? Any idiot can go to the internet and describe himself as living in the usa when in actual fact he might be a go to boy or porter at the KIA.Nobody will buy this expensive ticket and fly more than 10hrs with almost 8 hrs on the Atlantic ocean and be have so civil and primitive like this guy who call himself Kofi, usa. What a disgrace to America and the one who offered that visa if indeed he lives here. If this guy really lives in America his family should
expect no change in his life since he
only think of ndc to survive. Most of
these ndc members in the usa are
unemployed and shuttle from one African market to the other for akpeteshie in bitters. You see their faces bloated with sagging lips a clear sign of addiction and health problem. This is their situation abroad and they don't feel ashamed but come here to spew nonsense under the influence of akpeteshie and wee. No wonder it is under their regime that they want to decriminalize wee and such people are at the helms of affairs of Ghana. We are just jokers and laughing stock. Ghana paa nie. WE SHALL OVERCOME.

The electoral commissioner is incompetent to handle the upcoming election on November 7 due to the fact that she is being hemmed with a lot of complains and accusations by the good citizens of Ghana for whose sake she was appointed the EC .Ghanaians are yearning for the kind of EC who can accept a constructive criticism which could result in free fair and transparent elctions.From myown point of view the EC has no God fearing since she is intransigent to the plight of Ghanaians to vote for someone who can liberate them from their predicaments.Ghanaians need achange of Government and it is incumbent in the electoral commission not to wriggle this election for MAHAMA .I therefore urge the EC to execute her task judiceously to avoid any unfore seen circumstances from happening,
