CONFUSION IN NDC OVER VOTERS REGISTER: KWABENA ADJEI AND YAW GYAN ACCUSED OF LEAKING INFORMATION TO NPP.

There is currently uneasy calm at the headquarters of the NDC. Reports say, the party's big wigs are shocked over how the opposition NPP is clearly exposing one of their long held electoral strategies. It is believed the NPP could not have given the specifics they gave about foreigners on our voter register without insider information.

A deep throat source at the NDC's headquarters say the party's leadership are pointing accusing fingers at former Chairman, Dr. Kwabena Adjei and former organizer Yaw Boateng Gyan for the NPP's expose. According to the source, Dr. Kwabena Adjei who hails from Nkonya-Ntsumuru in the Volta region was the mastermind behind getting Togolese nationals into our electoral roll during his chairmanship era.

Yaw Boateng Gyan who comes from the Brong Ahafo region is said to have coordinated the influx of foreigners for registration in the Brong Ahafo region. The finger pointing is fueled by the fact that, Dr. Bawumia in his presentation on the register concentrated so much on the Volta and Brong Ahafo regions and was curious about the special NHIS registrations in the two regions.

The two former national executives are believed to be very peeved after they lost their national positions to people who were sponsored by President Mahama. Dr. Kwabena Adjei was recently in the news lamenting his neglect and and inability to pay his medical bills after he lost his Chairmanship position.

Yaw Boateng Gyan is on record to have publicly blamed former Chief of Staff and Mahama's right hand man, Prosper Bani for his defeat to Kofi Adams. Johnson Asiedu Nketia, the NDC's general secretary has in the wake of Bawumiah's revelations mounted a spirited defense against the call for a new voter register. This has left many Ghanaians wondering why the NDC and Asiedu Nketia are so keen on resisting the compilation of a new voter roll by the EC.

The largest opposition party, NPP has been leading the cause for a new voters register for the 2016 election. The party took its call a step higher when it made startling revelations of thousands of foreigners on Ghana's voter register in a recent press briefing.

POLITICIANS IN GHANA DO NOT NEED YOUR VOTES OR YOUR INVOLVEMENT IN MAINSTREAM POLITICS IN GHANA BECAUSE THEY KNOW YOU ARE A THREAT TO THEIR THIEVERY AND INCOMPETENCE.

IT'S ABOUT TIME GHANAIAN DIASPORANS REALIZED THAT THEY ARE NEEDED ONLY WHEN IT COMES TO CASH CONTRIBUTIONS TO GHANA'S POLITICAL PARTIES.

THE SAD FACT IS MOST GHANAIAN DIASPORANS ARE VILLAGERS WHO DO NOT REALIZE THAT THEY ARE BEING FOOLED BY POLITICIANS.

ALL THEY NEED IS YOUR MONEY, TRANSFERS AND DUTY YOU PAY ON YOUR IMPORTS AT PORTS, PERIOD.

What a complete tosser! I should stop sending money to my 80 plus year parents because of Akufo Addo"s vaulting ambition to become president.Bear in mind, Addo"s ancestors firmly believed that my parents should not have the right to vote because they were not educated. And a bunch of tossers like you want to portray JB Danquah and his "glorified" elitist,pompous,arrogant and imperialist fawning underlings as democrats.You can stick your silly comment where it belongs!

Whereas "voting with our feet" seems laudable, it is not possible. The country/government benefit from our remittances BUT the primary benefactors are our families, friends and businesses. Unfortunately we cannot hold back as some desperately depend on us. Let's think of other ways. We must press govt to register us through the embassies, high commissions and consulates FIRST.

I also think the EC should also introduce indelible markers instead of the thumb printing ink pad which allows fraud during the counting of the ballots. no matter how illeterate our unfortunate brothers and sisters are, they can mark anyhow a box of their choice better than thumb printing. i rest my case.
