Dr Bokor,you have said it all.I don't know whether that shameless,radio station politician called Akomea is still in the country? .I said it on Facebook yesterday that the purported attack on NPP'S office by members of the NDC couldn't be true but rather would be NPP people loyal to Afoko &Agyepong who wanted to teach Freddie Blay a lesson.The police have even confirmed that there was no such attack on Blay,after all.
Knowing the background of the Danquah/Busia tradition,they are such that,they go up stream,stir the water into mud,then quickly run down stream & start to shout "hey folks,who did that ".
They are as violent as the fox & as murderous the wolf,period! .

The fundamental duty of any government in the world is to provide peace and security, and it controls the security agencies including the police and the army to perform this function. It was the duty of the government to provide an environment conducive for free and fair elections devoid of any form of electoral malpractice or criminal activity. The NDC government should accept responsibility for what happened at Talansi, and not try to tell Ghanaians that they only enjoy power without any responsibility.
When a government is reported to have shared AK-47s, pistols, axes and matches among its thugs to maim and kill opposition leaders to ensure that they are fully intimated, what do you think the level of intimidation and pressure that was exerted on the villagers? And when years of accumulated stolen monies from percentages secured from inflated projects, judgment debts and direct use of government money meant for ghost projects like SADA are shared to entice poor gullible voters, what do you expect? Furthermore, if some NDC supporters were caught with thumb-printed ballot papers to rig the elections, how many of them do you think slipped through undetected or allowed to pass in order to stuff the boxes with such papers in favour of the NDC candidate? Moreover, I hope you have not yet forgotten about the 5billion dollars they used out of budget in 2012 to buy the conscience of gullible voters, and for which Ghanaians are being overtaxed today.
NDC would do anything under the sun to rig elections and remain in power, and the practice has been going on since the NDC phase one under Rawlings, who himself displayed crocodile on hearing about the electoral violence aptly blamed on the NDC. Clearly, this is the precursor of the nature of the 2016 elections that Mr. Mahama hinted. We now know that it is going be fought with AK-47s, pistols, daggers, axes, matches, bribery and intimidation. And I urge our people to remain resolute in defending democracy in our country. Without free and fair elections, we could easily find ourselves again in a one party state like the one that we suffered under Nkrumah because; Mr. Mahama is trying to derail democracy in our country in order to continue his mediocre rule.

At the moment Ghanaians have no choice but to go for the lesser of the two evils. This shows how worse your side is. Had it not been the help your mentors solicited from the CIA to kill Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, he would have ruled Ghana till eternity because there was no alternative to his government that had foresight for Ghana and Africa.

Nkrumah was in power for sixteen years and turned himself into a president for life when he realized that his popularity had waned. In the sixties, and after he had squandered the huge reserve, the country started to go down the hill and Ghanaians visibly yearned for a change. But since Nkrumah had shut all the doors and channels that could have been used by Ghanaians to exercise their political will of changing him democratically through the ballot box freely, they had no option other than to force him out of office through a military coup. Therefore, the coup that removed Kwame Nkrumah from office was the only legitimate coup in the history of Ghana.

Any objective minded person closely following politics in the country can conveniently conclude that the NPP has been the most irresponsible opposition party so far.
The desperation of the NPP to gain political power is an epitome of the desire of their leader to become the President of Ghana before he is finally swept away by the tide of time which is not on his side. In view of this, the NPP'S desire is to see the Mahama-led NDC Administration fail abysmally in order to convince Ghanaians to vote for the NPP.
In trumpeting the failures of the NDC government, the NPP has woefully failed to come out with any alternative ways of solving the county's problems for Ghanaians to consider choosing that party to form the next government. To make matters worse, Akufo-Addo, the leader of the NPP who is considered as the Political Messiah of Ghana by his supporters is not able to find an antidote to the problems he directly or indirectly created within his small NPP Party. The multi-million dollar question is can something good come out if the destiny of the entire country is entrusted in his hand?
I personally think that the NPP as a political party deserved the electoral defeat it suffered at Talensi. This should serve as a wake up call to the entire party membership that in the 2016 General Elections Mahama is not going to lose merely because of his failures.The best way for the NPP is to behave responsibly in opposition to inspire confidence in the electorates in order to consider giving their mandate to them otherwise they should try the Supreme Court experiment again in 2016.

Dr. Bokor is always spot on when it comes to the 'rogue ' and often tortuous politics NPP displays. He has given them (NPP ), the winning formula but on every occasion they misconstrued him and rather attack his person. Unfortunately for NPP, the hard truth of the matter is there is no way they can beat NDC when it comes to playing hard and dirty politics. This fact is based on the revolutionary spirit and the ability to connect with the electorate that makes beating NDC a difficult task for NPP.
To be able to defeat NDC, NPP has to adopt a softer approach, get rid of the old age pensioner, whip characters such as Kennedy Agyapong into line before NPP can stand any chance. But, with Akufo Addo in the helm of affairs and Gabby Otchere Darko by his side, the last thing the electorate will do is signing their own death warrant by voting for Akufo Addo to become President.

The Reason Behind NDC Talensi win is tribalism. I am Ewe and the derpseated Anti Asanteism in Ewe traditions is the cause. The Northerners are same. The NDC win in disgraceful.
It confirms Ewe Mp KOSI KEDEM words that '' Ewes will prefer WORST NDC GOVT TO BEST NPP GOVT.
Northerners are same. They vote against Asante interest because of jealousy /hatred and envy. Ewes and NORTHERNERS vote against Asante interests. Bokor must know this fact.
Ghana is doomed with this mental slavery of Ewes AND NORTHERNERS.
BOKOR MUST REFUTE WHAT I HAVE SAID. MORE REVELATIONS WILL COME LATER.
JUST CHECK WHETHER ASANTES ARE IN NDC GOVT. NDC NATIONAL EXECUTIVES, POLICE/MILITARY /CIVIL SERVICE HIERACHY.
Asante NDC members are not respected by NDC members... Yamoa Ponko, Mojo Bonsu, Dr Agyeman Mensa, Dr Opuni, Brogya Gyamfi, Gabby Nketsia Bas Achamfour etc must note that even NDC/Ewes are surprised they can do this to their own kind men.

Charles Agbenu you are just fake. Have you noticed that since the NDC came to power, virtually all demonstrations start from Kumasi? Have you noticed that the NDC is more widespread than the NPP in terms of national coverage? Have you noticed that the NPP politics under Asante Kuffour is far more accommodating than under Akyem Akuffo Addo? Have you ever heard of "wo ko Praso" in Asante-Akyem history? Fact is that the NPP is not as ideologically homogeneous as they imagine they are or make us believe. Have you heard of the rantings of Kennedy Agyapong about killing Gas and Ewes in Kumasi. Note he didn't say in Assin (his home area)where there are several Ewes resident. Why do you think Arthur Kennedy is always attacked when he advises the party and the likes of Gabby Okyere-Darko are left alone to spew the garbage he has always spewed?In terms of tribalism, Ghanaians know better than you postulate. The NPP simply needs a better political strategy than they have so far exhibited. I wish them good luck. They need it.

You epitomize the problem of the NPP. Always blaming others for their problems and failures; but never the true cause, themselves. Yesterday the Bolga bull dogs admitted on radio that they "roughed up Freddy Blay" at Talensi but he went on air to accuse the NDC despite knowing the truth. The violence in Talensi was purely an NPP internal affair and nothing to do with the NDC. No matter what you think the people of Talensi voted the NPP to parliament before and besides all candidates during the by election were natives, so why the stupid comment about tribalism. Don't talk for talking sake. NPP should do their homework and stop blaming others. Stop the trash talk.

Those of us born pre independence know that bomb throwing Danquah, Busia & Co have never made it because Ghanaians are peace loving people, Mills was loved by Ghanaians because he stood for peace rather than violence Nahamah will prevail, like Rawlings said he is humble not arrogant like Akuffo Addo even Kuffour, thiugh I must admit do not like some of his policies was considered a humble person hence Ghanaians voted for him. Kike you said Akuffo is unlikely to make during our kife time because os his posturing and eith oeople like him surrounding him. A word to a wise is enough, you have giving him advice I hope it is nit too late for him. Continue educating the young ones they need to learn our political history for guidance.
