  The biggest problem in Ghana's elections is the willful NULLIFICATION of votes in ONLY Ashanti and Eastern regions with impunity!! This what the Opposition Parties should fight against.
  The Electoral Reform should specifically address this. NO NULLIFICATION OF A SINGLE VOTE ANYWHERE IN GHANA!! IT IS THE DUTY OF THE EC TO EDUCATE EVERY GHANAIAN TO VOTE WITHOUT THE OPTION TO NULLIFICATION ANY VOTES!! COUNTING ALL VOTES WITHOUT PREJUDICE MAKES A FAIR ELECTIONS.!!

  There is a place where you can be sure that you would find a representative (MP) from every part of Ghana year round gathered together to deliberate on the future and the current state of this country. Where is that? Parliament house of course. If there is such a place then how should the place and the people there be treated in the scheme of things? What priority should such a house be given in the governance of the country? If there is such a place then what kind of people should we send there and how should we assess their performance?
  
  Parliament must also provide a readily available renovated residence in Sakumono to a newly elected parliamentarian. Accommodation in Accra/Tema is expensive and not every MP-elect may have the money to rent a house as he or she may have exhausted his or her funds running for office.

  There is a certain lunatic who thinks that the votes from his opponent stronghold shoild be nullified so that he can become a president. This is hallucination at its best. The same Lunatic to him all is right with the EC if he wins and all is wrong if he loses. I was waiting to hear him protest after yesterday's voting. To my surprise he came out to laud the voting as the voice of the people.

  Instead of congratulating the winner you're still talking balder-dash. You've lived in England for many years but the long stay was not enough to teach you what true democracy is all about. Some people spend a lot of money and many years to get college education but they merely go through the college without the college going through them. It's a sheer waste of resources. This reminds me of a song in pidgin english I co-wrote with some colleagues and produced in Nigeria in the early 1980s titled "As you come, na so you go go". You've been soundly thrashed after making too much noise with irrelevant issues and turning the campaign into a beauty contest. Show sportsmanship and congratulate the winner and you will win more admirers next time. I bet you'd be singing a different tune today if you had won. Be bold and wise and do the right thing. You live to fight another day. The bitter ending to a story could also mark the beginning of a story with a sweet ending. Be a man! Don't be a sissy!
