As a full fledged NDC member,I would have skipped this article by calling it NPP's internal warfare but for inexplicable reasons I saw myself hanging on to it till the end and i could not agree more with the writer.

Yes,one of the unpadonable mistake(or call it political suicide)ever commited by NPP which pride itself as champions of the rule of law, was the denial of the late Aliu Mahama from becoming the presidential candidate of NPP in 2008 elections.

The recent history taught us that,Al Gore was the vice president of the US and became an automatic presidential candidate of the Democrates when president Bill Clinton's two terms had run a full circle in 2000.Tabo Mbeke of South Africa was also a vice president and became automatic presidential candidate when Nelson Mandela decided not to run for the second term owing to health reasons.

Back home in Ghana,the late Attah Mills became the leader of the then ruling party NDC when JJ Rawlings' term was coming to a sunset.Mills went and lost the elections in 2000 but the party kept faith with him till he beame president in 2008.NPP had similar opportunity but blew it when they failed to support the candidature of the late Aliu Mahama.

The 64 million dollar question is,will NPP write the wrongs of their past failures by making Dr Bawumia their next presidential candidate? The answer to this question certainly lies in the womb of time.

But the question is whether Ghanaians know how valuable such a man is?
Don't forget, some Ghanaian who are not even in the position to offer their own children school education, rather to belong to the "be 'k3k3'", without knowing whether there was any sense behind twisting your lower jaw or not. In other words, are Ghanaians brainy enough to appreciate qualification?

Kwadwo,you are very correct with regard to election of leaders in the NPP but you will also agree with me that,apart from political "correctness" strategy is also key in the survival of any organization.

One such strategist could be that,when a vice president have interest in the presidency,then the congress should rally around he or her like in the case of Al Gore in USA.

When Aliu Mahama was dumped,he,his tribes men,northerners and indeed the entire muslims in the country felt let down rightly or wrongly.With better forsight and good strategy,this unfortunate episode could have been avoided.
Menua Kwadwo 12 years ago

In the case of vice- president Aliu, even his own constituency did not vote for him in the flag-bearership race, so people should stop bringing tribalism into the affairs of NPP.

Am very glad reading your long but very interesting impossible piece of work,well done man.Would it ever be possible for that change to take place? these and other very important questions are what you should be asking yourself.I do not see the NPP as being democratic in these light because since its inception it has always fielded players from AKAN origin which makes it very impossible for one to say they are democratic as a political party. Well, Bawumia himself knows he will face a stiff opposition should he express interest in leading that party. He should go and ask late ALIU to tell him what he went through when he tried. Nana will like to stand again from the look of things or maybe he or they(NPP) will like to bring another AKAN as usual. I see them all as lawyers but not politicians because they see things done in politics as law than politics itself. One must read politics to become a good politician.

Nzemas are one of the early Akan kingdoms, following Bono Manso, (today's Takyiman) kingdom.

Also, UGCC was not an Akan political political or movement. They comprised Fante, Ahanta, Akyem Abuakwa, Akwapim, Ewe, Ga and Nzema people in the coastal regions. There was no Asante in the UGCC.

The fact is that it was the Asante-political movement/party, NLM that formed an alliance with the Kyebi mafia, NPP and Togoland Congress against the CPP in the 1954 and 1956 general elections.

Hallo Kwabena , It appears u're prophesying --or -u drawn a deep breath of analysis of the Political Organization of Parties & ultimately weep tears of defeat for Akans bluff to rule hook or crook & that reminds me of -- "all die be die" slogan.Personally admire ur "breaking news analysis & share the concerns as u've the graph of Leader Tribal Footage.I think Politics now coming home & that it's not ordained for a specifics like the Chieftaincy Lineage.To me NPP Party think they are the better Party when it comes to Governance & have to rule.Generations past are not to repeat themselves & that the whole spectrum of Democracy & its parallel Electoral Commission & Ethics of Citizenry Voting require another investigation of reforms.Returning to how trends of the tribal lines of Prez., gather that u've a point here but Is Bawumia the right Candidate !!!.While support for a particular Region candidate can influence this Party Prez.,combination i still doubt Bawumia stands the chance though ur inward dissection a bit revealing. If 'm to sympathize or empathise Bawumia is best suited for Financial / Governor of Bank of Ghana but do not dispute that a ticket for a Northerner is the best suited option for the next elections.I'll even predict NPP's victory should they appoint a Northerner next time around.Kwabena much as Political Cloud of what we witness ,think the Nation needs Honest - Visionary - Discipline Hard working Parliamentarians to bring the Country to the high level. Allowances -- Cars - bribery - Corruption - nepotism & arrogance of one tribe & past glory do not build but divides.Really pity NPP & it's their own fault though NDC is no better -- All hands on deck & accountability to ensuring forward march i think is what's paramount.All of them cry wolf if they are in opposition.Any way Kwabena ur script is really spot on & hope most of Party Lines tribalism ommitted for all Ghanaians.Kwabena - please we need Arab Spring -- Leaders are not working-- they fear to punish others wrong doing -- hey do u think our Politicians make the grade !!!.. Since we learned Politics from Western World - better we screen them before they are allowed to represent constituencies & so the Prez.Canditates.. recently read Wall Street Journal of an MP in Britain & Deputy Party Leader & Secretary of State for Science & Energy taken to Court for Lying on Oath-- ie Speeding & is Motor Offence -- we need to re-examine attitudes in Ghana Politics -- Kwabena i gotta stop here as 'm getting irritated & I'm for Party Politics & indiscipline & dishonesty & disrespect for the ordinary person in the street....

It is not just presenting a non Akan but a real makeover. It has to be by recognition that accross the country there are talents and resources that can be tapped. Further more that the labourers who worked on their fathers cocoa farms, the sanitation men,sherpeds,carpenters and watchmen have their children of age. Also those who worked in the mines bare footed, all these people by the grace of God have children and grand children who are able to contribute in a measurable way to the economy of Ghana. Unless they can shed the egocentric view as would have been demostrated by Ms Owusu NPP will continue to struggle in elections. The fact is the NPP has the resources and talent. But it has to be educated to appreciate other talent and capabilities. People must be confident that they will be judged based on their contribution to the the fortunes of the party and not where they come from.

Thanks for your trenchant response to Kwabena Mensah's incomplete diagnosis of the NPP's problems. You are absolutely right. The NPP's congenital flaws are twin: ethnic chauvinism AND class narcissism. The question is whether its adherents can, to invoke Amilcar Cabral, "commit suicide" as a class-centered party "in order to be reborn" as a national, progressive-conservative movement? Is such a "makeover" possible?

What you've stated will no doubt be very unpalatable to the ears of many Akan nationalists but nevertheless may represent the only way the NPP could swing enough votes to carry the next election. Northerners, Ewes, Gas and many others would have to be encouraged to rejoin the NPP fold.The NPP desperately needs to break the mould they cast for themselves as an AKAN-ONLY party.Your suggestions are very bold but may yet save the NPP from total political annihilation. The NPP must not overestimate the strength of the NDC. Political parties and leaders historically tend to squander gains made in earlier periods and the NDC is no different judging from their current performance.
