  The Member of Parliament (MP) for Afram Plains South, Joseph Appiah Boateng, has threatened to sue the Electoral Commission (EC) of Ghana if it does not come out to clear the controversy surrounding the filing of nomination of two NDC candidates for the area.
  
  On the deadline of submission of nomination forms for parliamentary candidates, two stalwarts from the NDC filed to contest the Afram Plains South seat following the resignation of Mr. Boateng, to contest for a second time.
  
  The two, Mark-Oliver Kevor, the Eastern Regional Secretary of the NDC and Eric Osei-Owusu are all said to have filed their nomination at the same time but the Returning Officer for the area announced the former as the candidate for the Akatamansonians after scrutinizing his forms.
  
  Kevor, according to inside sources, was given the mandate to file on the ticket of the Akatamansonians by the National Chairman of the NDC, Kofi Portuphy.
  
  However, Eric Osei-Owusu who contested the incumbent MP but lost, according to party officials, was also given the mandate to file by the party’s Chief Scribe, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, popularly known as General Mosquito.
  
  The two candidates have been campaigning simultaneously as the NDC parliamentary candidate for the area.
  
  Party officials in the Afram Plains South have for the past three weeks, been putting pressure on the National Executives of the party to settle matter as soon as possible or risk losing the seat to the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP).
  
  The MP on Thursday, October 13, 2016 gave the EC a 48-hour ultimatum to publicly announce the candidate who filed to contest on the ticket of the NDC. Failure to do so, he added, will see the EC being dragged to court.
  
  But Mr. Nketiah commenting on the issue in an interaction with sit-in host, Kwaku Owusu Agyei, on Anopa Kasapa on Kasapa 102.5 FM, Monday, said Eric Osei-Owusu is the candidate the party has sanctioned to represent the Afram Plains South.
  
  “If you go to the records of the Electoral Commission (EC) of Ghana, the one who has filed in the name of the NDC and who has been given the power to represent the party is Eric Osei-Owusu,” he announced.
  
  Asked whether he is aware that Mr. Portuphy has also sanctioned the candidacy of Mark-Oliver Kevor, he retorted “We don’t have such in the records of the NDC.”
  
  Mr. Boateng reacting to the comments of his party’s Chief Scribe on the problem said the EC has more questions to answer regarding the eligibility of Eric Osei-Owusu to contest the Afram Plains South parliamentary seat.
  
  He told Owusu Adjei that as at the time of close of nomination, the CEO of Ghana Buffer Stock had not filed his nomination and therefore wondered how Mr. Osei-Owusu got that opportunity to represent the party.
  
  “As at the close of nomination on the deadline date, September 30, 2016, Osei-Owusu had not filed his nomination. The EC closed at 5:00pm. And at 5:30pm, the EC announced that three candidates including Mark-Oliver Kevor had filed their nominations. So, I am wondering how Osei-Owusu filed his nomination.”
  
  “The EC must tell us the date it opened their offices for Osei-Owusu to file his nomination. Again, as at the close of nomination, Osei-Owusu had not transferred his vote to the constituency. So, the EC must tell us when it transferred the vote of Osei-Owusu to the constituency. I want the EC to come out to explain itself on the matter or face court action,” he noted.

  why are you primitive ewes so full of yourself thinking apart from your tribe there's nothing else in life? what's wrong if Akufo-Addo asks for change? it's protocol to visit every region as a flagbearer. besides volta region doesn't belong to ewes. there are larger ethnic groups like northerners, Akans in that region so stop claiming it for yourselves only. with your inward-looking attitude it's obvious you don't belong in Ghana. you always protest every shit that you think is a threat to your pathetic tribe! fools! don't think you ewes make any impact on the nation! you are just a minority! so keep your mouth shut and go back to togo or benin if you are not comfortable in Ghana!

  Its time for the old drug addict to retire. When Ghana is looking for someone to employ as chief Executive of corporate Ghana, how can we even be considering someone who should be retired by now, who will also not let us know his health status, so we can decide if he is fit for the job. How can we even be considering a drug addict for chief executive of corporate Ghana. Come on Ghanaians lets be serious. Yes its time to retire the old drug addict.

  NO AMOUNT OF PREACHINGS AND PROMISES CAN CHANGE GHANA, UNLESS THE SO CALLED NOISY EDUCATED WITH BIG DEGREES AND PHD TITLES ARE CAPABLE TO USE TECHNOLOGY, SCIENTIFIC INNOVATION AND CREATIVITY TO FUEL ECONOMIC GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT IN GHANA.
  
  THE FAITH OF GHANA LIES IN THE HANDS OF THE COCOA FARMERS AND UNSKILLED MINE WORKERS, WHO FOR THE PAST HUNDRED(1009 YEARS BEEN EARNING THE NATIONS HARD CURRENCY TO SERVICE NATIONAL BUDGETS, WAGES AND SALARIES, IMPORTATION OF COMMODITIES AND FOOD PRODUCTS AND EXPENSIVE LUXURY CARS AND JEEPS FOR USE BY NON-PRODUCTIVE EDUCATED FOR THEIR EXTRAVAGANT LIFESTYLES IN THE COUNTRY.
  
  AKUFFO-ADDO AND THE MANY SO CALLED SELF STYLED '''POLITICIANS''''NEED TO KNOW-
  
  POLITICS IS ABOUT TRANSFORMATION, REFORMATION, SOLUTION,CHANGES, IMPROVEMENT,DEVELOPMENT OF INFRASTRUCTURE, CREATIION OF INDUSTRIES, EMPLOYMEMENT, INCOME AND BETTER STANDARDS OF LIVING.
  
  DOESN'T IT SOUND SO SHAMEFUL FOR THESE POLITICIANS TO CAMPAIGN IN MANY OF THESE URBAN CENTRES,DISTRIICTS AND VILLAGES IN BROKEN INFRASTRUCTURE THA ARE STILL IN SHAMBLES WITHOUT BASC AMENITIES.
  
  ARE THE MANY SO CALLED EDUCATED AND POLITICIANS AWARE OF THE DEPLORABLE CONDITIONS IN TOWNS LIKE TARKWA, AXIM,DUNKWA-ON OFFIN,BOGOSO, ASANKRAGUA, SEFWI WIASO AND BEKWAI,APAM,MANKESSIM, ANOMABU,APAM,BREKUM,BECHEM,WENCHI,
  OFFINSO,ODUMASI-KROBO, HOHOE, KETA,AKROPNG -AKWAPIM, LARTEY AND MAMPONG-AKWAPIM STILL WITHOUT RUNNING POTABLE WATER.
  
  ARE THEY NOT STILL AWARE, THE BACKBOME OF GHANA'S ECONONY,THE COCOA FARMERS AND UNSKILLED MINE WORKERS STILL LIVE IN HUT AND MUD STRUCTURES IN THE 21st CENTURY.
  
  THEY SHOULD BE CONDEMNED TO BE VERY TERRIBLE CREATURES ON EARTH.
  
  THE STATE OF GHANA CAN ONLY BE CHANGED BY INNOVATORS IN THE USE OF TECHNOLOGY AND NOT MERE PREACHINGS AND PROMISES.
  
  ITS SAD TO SEE THESE FOLKS DESTROYING THE LAND OF OUR BIRTH AND NOT WITH TOIL, SWEAT AND HARDWORK.
  
  CAN YOU IMAGINE, IF THE SO CALLED PRESI´DENTIAL ASPIRANTS WOULD PRESENT FORGED ELECTORAL COMMISSION APPLICATIONFORMS,WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS IN GHANA.
  
  SAD AND PATHETIC.
