So he lost by 300,000 votes in 2012. Keep in mind those 300,000 people are still going to vote and they are likely to vote for JM again. I could see either a run off or a one touch victory for the incumbent.

Nana Akufo Addo will go in history as a paranoiac personality who invented “Patapaa” politics in Ghana.
Vertically challenged men may argue that the notion of a "short man syndrome" is an unfair, and an inaccurate stereotype. However, scientists have now proved small men are untruth and love propaganda by engaging in “patapa” politics. Clearly there are times when it's sensible to be wary, but the term paranoia denotes unjustified fear. His height may have so much to do with his “patapa” personality, a more hostile attitude that this man displayed in his political party by alienating and kicking elected official in his party. Indeed, he grossly demonstrated his hostile attitude during this presidential campaign to prove to the whole world that politics is indeed a dirty game, a portrayal which will make the younger generation to think twice before going into politics or make political parties to review the qualification and request psychological test for people who aspire to lead those parties. Nana Akufo Addo’s attitude negative and paranoiac must be studied carefully. Today's society is radically differently from the societies of the hunter-gatherer era. Learning to adapt and grow in spirit even as we shrink in height—now that would be a reality worth simulating.

MANY EUROPEAN COUNTRIES ARE BACKING NANA ADDO. HE IS THEIR AGENT TO MAKE GHANA MOVE BACK LIKE LIBYA AND MANY AFRICAN COUNTRIES. THE WEST IS SHOCKED BY HOW MAHAMA DID IT. FEW YEARS BACK THE COUNTRY WAS IN DUMSOR AND EVERYTHING WAS AT STANDSTILL BUT THE WEST IS SHOCKED ABOUT THE RECENT IMPROVEMENTS AND PROJECTS. THE WEST WILL NOT HELP NANA ADDO. WHEN THEY HELPED KOTOKA AND AFRIFA TO REMOVE NKRUMAH, THEY LEFT US TO OUR FAITH. GHANA WILL REGRET IN JUST A YEAR IF NANA ADDO WINS POWER. THIS IS A MUST.

The west are not made up of fools like you! The infrastructure developments are not fooling but some Ghanaians like you. Ghana has one of the highest interest rates in the world and as a developing country we have a poor GDP of 2.5 similar to a country that is fully industrialized and developed. That is what the west look at. Can Ghanaians make enough money to support and feed their famolies?

Comment to: NPP-Canada to Ghanaians: Let’s make it happen

Bisimillaahi Raahmaan Raheem
Dear Fellow Comrades of NPP CANADA Chapter

On the eve of the Ghanaian Election lets Pray for Peace now & Forever for I have seen the aftermaths of Wars in Sierra , Rwanda

We all wish the analysis & credentials attributed to Nana Akuffo Addo could materialize into votes & thus protray him third lucky.

But I swear by the Quran Mr Gyimah that shall be the opposite with a defining tsuanami shock to our lives. None of you both past & present of the Toronto Chapter of the NPP can discount my zeal & personnel contribution to the development intellectually & financially to both NPP here in Canada & in Ghana .

I co authored the 2000 NPP manifesto , I was also instrumental after then Secretary Kwame Nuako threw the books of the chapter away after disagreement to ask Charles Amoama to pick the books as we shall back him strongly both financially & emotionally in those days . The political terrain was yearning for change within the Ghanaian landscape & we had a leader tolerant inclusive lovely that doesn't spill vernom or vindictiveness towards his party members , but that's not the case of the person of Akuffo Addo

Where is Charles Weredu , Sammy Crabbe , Paul Afoko , Kwabena Agyapong , Kwame Pianiom , Kwadjo Npianim , Nyako Tamakloe , Odoi Skyes & much more that are wounded wolves silent out there.

Does all these disgruntled members don't have supporters that will have voted for the NPP ? . Oh yes of course , are they going to NO ? they shall not vote because of the violent undemocratic credentials of the persons of Nana Akuffo Addo .

i am a proud Wallah from the Upper West Region that have respected every Ghanaian of every ethnic divisity both in Toronto Canada & Ghana . During the 1998 --1999 elections the Toronto Chapter adopted a policy of policy every well being member adopt a constituency . We heeded to the call and adopted the late Glady Asamah constituency , Cape Coast Central , Hawa Ogide Yakubu , Upper West Constituency , sponsored Hon Godfred Taahu MP for Wa East & my father was who then chairman of Tanina also gave back back victory to the NPP in loving memory .

I spent three month in Ghana between February to April 2016 7 FOR THE FIRST TIME OVER A PERIOD OF 30 YEARS i could use overhead showers in my washrooms devour of Kuffour so call gallons all over the capiytal of Accra ranging from Arjinganor , East Legon , Adenta, Madina , Macarthy Hill , Teshie Nuagua that use not to have taps running for more 2 weeks , right down to Osu , Nima,

By Allah the Almighty victory shall be John Abdraaamaani Mahama Inshallah come Dec 8 or 9th, 2016 due to the exceptional Kuffour like gentle , peaceful leadership he have rendered Ghanaians , the world over .

Vile propaganda don't win elections in today's New world demographics, but that's what Akuffo / Baawuumia is imploring and that's shall backfires

A big financiar of the party in Bantama - Kumasi confided with me that the NPP shall experience the shock of their fortunes in this years elections shall come from Ashanti Region in March 2016 . The region was the total disrespect of the leader towards the Asantihene , his predecessor Agyekum Kuffour & the expel of Paul Afoko & Kwabena Agyapong

I dare no member of the present , past Chapters of Toronto or Canada shall venture to spew any cabbage against my personal or integrity when they couldn't even raise corporate funds / donations here in Canada except I Abudu ibn Adam. No nobody dare challenge when it came to gifting our hands became the misers club & lip services .

I leave the readers of this comment not to spill any vernom to tarnish my image reflecting and recalling October 19th, when we address address Mrs Elizabeth Kuffour at the Person International Airport -YYZ, Departure Hall in front of the Toronto Chapter members as the first lady of Ghana thereby appealling to Air Canada Manager Mr Touffic to radio a taxiing plane to stop for the first lady to board en route Montreal -KIA.

Mrs Elizabeth Agyekum Kuffour turned around to question me why I addressed her the First LADY OF THE REPUBLIC OF GHANA, 7 I REPLIED SO HAVE ALLAH ORDAINED IT.

The Presidential Candidate of the NPP - Nana Akuffo Addo have divided the party into fragmentations it shall take two years after this elections to do complete surgery to ressucitate it wounds for the elephant is leaping

SO HAVE ALLAH S.T ORDAINED JOHN ABDRAAMAANI MAHAMA OF THE NDC TO CONTINUE THE UNFINISHED BUSINESS HE HAVE INITIATED

The NPP which belongs to the Danquah/Busia tradition shouid be rejected by ghanaians at the ballot box.It is anti-ghanaian,pro-imperialist and when in opposition works against the interest of the nation.They believe in the western neo-liberal economic policies which makes the few rich and powerful richer and the majority poor poorer.When the NPP was in power instead of protecting state assets[lands and buildings] it sold them to its members,making them richer at the expense of the state and ghanaians.Ghanaians should not vote for them.
