Hegemony /tribalism mixed with Islamic religious discrimination by northerners and Ewes cause NDCs defeat as nobody wanted a retrogressive society. Ghanaians want a society in the 21st century not fake ass bullshit megalomaniac leadership. Thanks to JJ and hegemony /tribalism we are divided and do not waste your energy trying to unite us like Mills did but rather respect our diversity and let each look after their own without any hindrance from others.It is time to accept reality and call a spade a spade , we shall never be united. Their idea of unity means we are to deny who we are while they can say we are Ewes , Northerners but if you say you are Akan then you are evil. we Akans will never again be discriminated against in our own country , now we shall even the score as we can also say our time has come. We shall not tolerate the neglect of Akan areas development in favor of northern or Ewe areas through elaborate sophisticated schemes such as GYEEDA SADA or whatever nonsense these criminals can think of. We shall now encourage the return and integration of our over 10 million strong diaspora and their capital to rebuild our nation. We shall encourage the ewes and northerners to secede and form their own states/country so we place international borders between our peoples and try to be constructive neighbors instead of this situation that only creates hatred resentment and tribalism mixed with hegemony.Yes its time table these issues as if one views the distribution of votes we see Nana this time got the support of the united Akan and all others gave support to the criminal mahama led ndc . If both sides are right then we need to consider a confederation or outright separate states and organize a peaceful referendum to that effect just like Czechoslovakia did , no need to break up in the throes of war and violence as the secession is inevitable. Lets not allow the deterioration into war as we see in Somalia , Syria ,Iraq , Yugoslavia and soon Turkey. Akans have a different set of moral values virtues and aspirations than the rest so we should enable them their own freedom to pursue their destiny. We should reinstate to votes rights to all our diaspora as where-ever they are the share in the hopes and aspirations of the Akan desire for development and jobs. We shall pursue to the ends of the earth all these corrupt criminal ndc and including Kuffour JJ Rawlings Afoko and whatever (criminals hiding behind politics )have you for their treachery , betrayal and exploitation of Akan wealth as a deterrent to future wannabe mafia criminals. i am surprised these police did not condemn attacks and destruction of Akan businesses politicians families and individuals yet come out because of one fire and say widespread attacks? Saturday morning Mahama called to mobilize the military under the excuse of law and order so they come out shooting but the military because their experience learnt from peace keeping world wide knew it was a suicide mission so declined to participate but these idiot koti police have no brains at all . Pepeni Mahama go away in peace as professional police know their jobs and dont need any foolish amateur political instructions that will lead to instability . Those who are not for us we must know are against us so for them today demanding for factories dams or development scornfully we let them know we Akans will make sure despite Npp and Nana will make sure they get nothing. we shall inform all potential investors that their leaders stole billions and are not investing there because they know their people are primitive and will destroy any factory investment or one day be cutting your throat as they are all latent areas of radfical Islamic fanatical criminals so the best way to help them is to destroy them , God says all people who glorify human sacrifice by slicing throats must be wiped off the face of this earth. yes the battle continues and will only finish when we divide the country. We stand vigilant and ever ready for any turn of events.

The NDC national campaign coordinator, Mr. Adamu Kotokoli, could be blamed partially for the humiliating defeat of the NDC party in which "the NPP trashed the ruling party by about one million votes and also won majority of the parliamentary seats", as a result of Mr. Kotokoli's incompetence and the incompetence and corruption of Mahama himself and that of all the "babies with sharp teeth' he appointed.

However, the real reason for the party's "painful defeat" is because the NDC's undemocratic ways have largely been exposed, and NPP was able to block most of the channels NDC has been using to rig elections for stealing the verdict of Ghanaians. The world has changed and NDC must also change with it, and not continue to rely on rigged elections to rule Ghanaians.

It has become all too attractive and fashionable for Ghanaians to cry for change of Government after one party/president has had two terms. People would simply want to see new and fresh faces. 'Others must chop'. This phenomenon is amplified in Party primaries which results in a very high number of Independent candidates. The maximum NPP can hope to stay in power is 8 years and there would cries fir change. Their ludicrous promises may shorten it to 4 years if these promises are not substantially fulfilled by the end f the 4 years.

That can not be the whole truth. Now let me give you the complete truth.
(1) ndc has never won election by clean and once npp decided to be vigilant across all 29,000 polling stations, the ndc was exposed.
(2) npp ability to collate and tabulate election results nationwide from polling stations and wisely told the public to true state of election results it was late for ndc.

(3) the stealing culture of jm administration was beyond acceptable limit.
(4) the arrogance of ndc communicators was non Ghanaian. Omane Boama took things personal and therefore attacked people on a personal level

(5) ndc took Ghanaians for granted. How can you say this simple inter change is Dubai in Ghana, when every family in Ghana has a member who has travelled. Ndc fooled themselves
(5) the economy was in bad and terrible shape.
(6) boys were at home without jobs, jobs and jobs.
(7) ndc was not able to effectively deal with their in house conflict whiles they needlessly focused on divisions in npp.
(8) ndc was not able to handle mrs Rawlings issues well.
(9) etc etc
But the key thing that work against Ndc is Npp vigilance across all polling stations and policing the ballot box across Ghana.

The defeat was also caused by old politicians like ET Mensah and Bagbin who since 1992 and have held unto NDC safe seats like their private property and refusing others to especially the youth to have a go. This resulted in some cases the appearance of Independent candidates and the whittling down of votes for the Party. Greed on the part of the old guards has also caused the party.

1) a single woman with three children came all the way from a village in Brong Ahafo, knew nobody in Accra but her flight had been cancelled. She slept at the airport for 3 days before a Samaritan gave her many to go back to her village.
2) Passengers had borrowed from banks and used credit cards to pay for tickets and they are still waiting to receive their refunds.
3) NDC government lied that they have settled all claims. this was NOT TRUE
4) Passengers going to Ghana to attend weddings and funerals where stranded - One lady going to bury her mother got stranded and they buried her mother when she was still at the airport
5) Newman a travel agent of circle travel took advantage of the situation and also run away with passengers money
6) Despite promised BNI report is yet to come out, if not shelved forever

The NDC defeat which can be described as a major unprecedented shellacking can be attributed to 6 major factors.
1. the Candidate
2. the politics
3. the economics
4. the development factor
5. the social and
6. the opposition.
John Dramani Mahama was and is by far the worst President and the most unelectable incumbent presidential candidate in over 50 years. Some would dispute this basic fact. However the trend analysis shows he was just not electable.
2. The politics of the NDC was terrible. It was very bad and nauseatingly offensive.
There were and are issues in the NDC party which they sought to deflect and project onto the NPP, which required that, they tackled head-on but failed to do. In the end it came to bite them in their behind where it hurt the most. It has still not been resolved.
3. The economics of the Mahama NDC administration was by far the worst ever under the Constitution of this 4th Republic considering the resources that accrued to this gov't. Indeed, with economic growth projected to be the lowest in over two decades and likely to tank further, there was no way the ship was going to stay afloat. The NDC party was going down.
4.There was a huge disconnect between what the NDC felt was their development agenda and the relevant inter-linkages between their development programs and policies vis-à-vis the citizenry, and that was a total fail as well.
5.On the social front, the arrogance of power, gross and crass brazen impunity and lack of tact, finesse and gross egregious disrespect for the citizenry, fueled a spectacular and continuing disengagement between the electorate and the NDC party, and doomed them into opposition long before the first ballot was cast.
6. Finally, contrary to the perception the NDC party sought to build and portray about the NPP, this was a very united, focused and very resolute opposition that meant serious business, and was totally committed to wrestling power from the NDC. Nothing was going to move or sway that ship. It was a very robust opposition very much in tune with itself and the task that needed to be executed and it was executed to perfection. The NPP run one of the most engaged campaigns ever, from the ground up which resonated completely with the electorate and the end result is, they won.
So the point could be made that the defeat of the NDC party which was long predicted, was self-inflicted, but it was against a very focused opposition, which was determined to wrestle power in absolute terms from the NDC party. There was no stopping that hurricane, change was imminent and it has touched down ferociously. We meant business.
Mahama has lost and he is out.
Suffice to say, this is good riddance to very, very bad rubbish.
The complacency E.T is talking about falls directly under the politics of the NDC party internally, within the wider framework of the politicking that sent them into opposition.

Complacency indeed!! The fall was due to several issues embedded within the party and obviously the lack of sensitivity to the issues confronting our citizenry.
Considering our history of continues democratic governance the Ghanaian electorate has matured to level that their integrity can not be rubbishef by political parochials.
When greed, corruption, lack of social and cultural sensitivity coupled with disrespect for the Pillar (Founding Father) ,uncorupt members and committed cadres becomes the order of the day that's what happens. Failure!!
Mother Ghana wailed but you did not listen.There is no need for an early congress. A holistic evaluation is needed to weed out the bad nuts who should have been negated long ago.
Take a break and ginger up for Hon. Martin Amidu when he puts on his legal spectacles

Ghanaians are waiting for the drama to unfold.
Viva a justified and historic election!!

The truth, NDC lost because of WILD promises to the inexperienced youth even though it cannot be met.

ET is mostly right. The NDC under Mahama became a party of diaper wearing toddler politicians who lacked intelligence and real life experience. In addition the NDC relied too heavily on its stock of foot soldiers from the revolution era like Anyideho and Nketia who beat on their chests first before thinking about any challenges they face.

For the NDC to revive itself, it must consider and respect age with wisdom, intelligence and experience. The NDC must also usher itself into the new era of strategic and scientific thinking and retire its fleet of chest beating foot-soldiers.

ET, you've always sought your interest first and foremost. Who are you kidding? You are cunning, dangerous, shameless and lack good conscience. You've amassed a lot on backs of innocent and illiterates - it is all too obvious. You cannot and must not be trusted in any public office domain. No way! Pls park yourself into oblivion. Please be quiet.

Now they must have realized that arrogance, disrespect, impunity, insults, lies, and propaganda DO NOT WIN elections. They must be in opposition for a very long time until Ghana fully recovers from their 8 years of PLUNDER. Then they will learn the hard way.
