You will be climbing a very steep hill.

Dear Kofi Amenyo,

This is really good.

I think you have made a very powerful case.

This duopolism thing is sheer nonsense. I wish Ghanaians can give a third political force a chance to demonstrate what they have to offer rather than this nonsensical platitudinal duopolism.

Thanks for a brilliant article.

Look at America, Australia, Canada, Great Britain, Germany, France, Italy, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and many more countries.

Now, any country that is practising Democracy will only have TWO strong political parties to rule that country. If you disagree with me prove it now?

Whether we like it or not, Ghana it will be only NDC and NPP. But what has left us to do in Ghana is that our constitution is too weak and it is not helping our mother Ghana to move ahead.

Due to that politicians in Ghana are taking us for granted. What Ghana needs now is a great man with vision who will be boldly enough to stand on his feet to lead the country and change our constitution.

And that can only be done by NANA ADDO DANKWA AKUFFO ADDO it's only him and failure to give this man chance to do it now means Ghana will sink forever and ever.

I wonder why you don't have eyes and ears to see and hear about this?

Many Ghanaians are spiritually blind.

Sorry, Amenyo started well, but he flopped miserably. You say "This is really good...", but to me, it is really a mess.

In my opinion, the so called intellectuals, including Amenyo, contribute to our woes by subduing facts and truths that may jeopardise the point they want to propagate.

It is true Ghanaians were fed up with the Rawlings' NDC government, and thus voted him out.
I remember the "libel suits" during that Rawlings' time, to shut people and the Press up. I remember the efforts of the Kufuor regime to bring back "freedom of speech", and the resulting effect, that NDC could propagate lies about petrol prices to instigate commercial drivers against that Government.
Misdeeds and nepotism of that Kufuor regime came public, unlike during the time of previous NDC government. I remember Akufo-Addo did not join that looting brigade, by rejecting the offer for him to buy the plot of land that once hosted the 'International Students Hostel'. This alone stands for the integrity of that man. But such things are conveniently subdued here.

What has Dr. BAWUMIAH NOT OPENED OUR EYES TO? concerning the mismanagement of our economy. This team; Akufo-Addo/Bawumiah was sabotaged by Kufuor, as well as our Intellectuals, and those who feared to lose when corruption were to be tackled by the government.
Did NDC not use lies to bring us Atta-Mills and John Mahama? Do you know nothing about John Mahama and Amajero?

There is nothing wrong if an Nkrumaist wants to propagate their Party, but it is utterly dishonest to create the impression that Greenstreet/Samia will be a better option for Ghana than Akufo-Addo/Bawumiah.
People may have their reservations against Akufo-Addo, in many cases based on untruths that have been propagated against him by people like Kwesi Pratt, but presently, the only hope for Ghana will be to bring in Akufo-Addo/Bawumiah. They are the only people who can pave the way for correction of the "RIGHT TO ABUSE OFFICE WITH IMPUNITY", and all the bogus entitlements.

Ghanaians really have short memories. Else Kwarteng would not be here advocating for a third force party to take over from the NPP/NDC duopoly. Read:" This duopolism thing is sheer nonsense". Nonsense indeed!

In fact, this is the dumbest proposition I have ever heard on this forum, especially as it is coming from Kwarteng who has been, persistently, defending the one-party state declaration under his demigod, Kwame Nkrumah, who declared himself a life president of my beloved country, Ghana, whose foundation was laid down by memorable Joseph Kwame Kyeretwie Boakye Dankwah of blessed memory, the Ofori Attas, Paa Grant .....etc. And it is very notable to recall that, during the pioneering works of these Great men to wrestle power from the British, Kwame Nkrumah - who would later become 'The Dictactor cum Lord' over Ghanaian - was a jobless man languishing somewhere in American making living by preaching the gosple.
Anyways, I wish Kwarteng could be bold enough to write this same nonsense to the Americans ignore the RNC and the NDC, a vote a third party into office since he Kwarteng himself is a beneficiary of America's generocity.

And for your information, Kwarteng, it is undeniable fact that, by Sir Charles Darwin's theory of 'Natural Selection', it appears almost true that Nkrumah's Cpp has evolved to the present day NDC. Like it or not, and I bet my last bottom pesewa that it will take centuries for the fakery fragmented remnants of Nkrumah's CPP to see the light of day.

Invariably attempts to inject extraneous non-germane matter into a discussion stem from intellectual dishonesty. The point of discussion is whether the political duopoly in Ghana can/should be broken?? There is no difference between the NPP & NDC, both descendants of putschists in thrall to their foreign Massa!! The proposition that the NDC is Nkrumaist is ludicrously risible!!
Nii Teiko and his ilk can live in their fantasy world where they are "natural rulers" and inherently "better managers" who are always robbed of their "natural election victories". Fact is the NDC is the better organized of the two "Kwesibroni stooge parties"! That said Ghana can't do worse under a non NDC/NPP government despiteNii Teiko's hysterics!!

Efo Amenyo, generally in developed democracies, Oppositions tend to win elections after the government has seriously messed things up, and when the electorate is prepared to consider alternatives. Back to planet Ghana, NDC and NPP are the two dominant political parties of government. 2016 Election is either an NDC or NPP government.

Yes, it has become clear Ghana must be rescued from a culture of corruption, mediocrity and incompetence. The truth is NDC government's performance so far under President John Mahama isn't good enough. This government is hopelessly inept, corrupt and clueless. The scale of failure and problems should lead to a crushing defeat.

The NPP is doing well in criticising the NDC government largely on the economy, but it is time it starts telling Ghanaians what an NPP government under Nana Akufo-Addo will offer Ghanaians. So far, the NPP has failed to show how it can do things differently. Personally, I think an NPP government could do better economically than this current NDC administration.

However, the NPP must convince Ghanaians it is the competent alternative, and how it promises to restructure and manage the country's economy and affairs. The NPP shouldn't see itself electable simply because the NDC government is messing things up in Ghana. NPP seems to be in that 'comfort zone'.

For the NPP to win 2016 Election, it must first address its internal crisis. A divided party hardly wins an election. NPP must gets its acts together.

In politics,you win general elections with an effective campaign strategy but not just making noise.There are many factors that go into elections and the electorates make decisions based on their understanding.The NDC knows what to do to win general elections than NPP.Looking at the long political history of Ghana from 1951 to 2012 you can easily attest that the Danquah-Busia-Dombo tradition are not very good in mounting effective campaign strategy to win general elections.Kuffour is exceptional and very intelligent when it comes to general elections.His technics and tactics are far beyond any member in that tradition.I esteem Kuffour very high above Danquah,Busia,Dombo,Victor Owusu,Adu-Boahen and Nana Addo.I will put my bet on NDC to beat NPP again just because they are more strategic than NPP.Thank you.

It very disingenuous for some people to doubt the competence of the NPP to take this country to the promised land. For me, So far as Dr. Alhaji Bawumia is concerned, the npp has demonstrated to the people a proven capacity to safe the nation from the economic mess this useless ndc government has plunge into. How do you doubt the competence of the NPP when it is too clear to recall how visionary Kuffour was able to transform the economy by the introduction of the NHIS, School Feeding Programe, the Public Mass Transport system, Free Maternal Care System, Mass Cocoa Spraying, GYEEDA, SADA, the Discovery of Oil whose remittances these criminals in government are feeding fat on. What has Mahama and his leadership added to these apart from boasting of infrastural development at cut throat prices. Who will use 23 million dollars to renovate an airport only to a third class status - no where near international status of African standard. What about the AMERI deal, the bus branding saga, the rot at the National Service Sacretariat, the SADA Nkomfem and Tree Planting stupidity, the gargantuan judgement debt crimes of the evil trinity: Woyome, Betty and Barton Oduro? And some dummies - notably: Bokor and Kwarteng - attack Pastor Otabil for stating the obvious. Why should we be happy with this bogus developments when such crimes of astronomical magnitude are being perpetrated against the citizenry on daily bases. Where lies our analytical senses?

The NPP Campaign Message is short and simple:

"OPEN YOUR EYES, is this the Ghana you yearn for?"

"Is it 'all well and good' just because NDC say they are going for foreign loans to buy sanitary pads for some school girls, whilst there is no potable water?"
"Is it enough when Nurses are trained, and asked to stay home because 'Govt has no money to employ them?"
Is it enough when Government employees have to go on strike, before their salaries (sometimes several months arrears) are paid? At the same time Govt officials are putting up Petrol Filling Stations rampantly everywhere, and anywhere, regardless danger to dwellers and environment.
"Is it enough just because NDC said they repaired, and tarred 2.5km runway of Kumasi Airport for an amount of twenty-three million US Dollars ($23million)? Ethiopia constructed a completely new International Airport for about $29million)

But most important:
"BE HONEST TO YOURSELF"

Kofi Amenyo's insightful article is talking about Ghana and you are reading ethnicity and ethnocentrism into it? No wonder Ghana and Africa are behind the rest of the world?

And what if Kofi Amenyo were Ewe? After all, is he not making an argument other persons of different ethnicities have made? Is Kofi Amenyo not a Ghanaian? Even Asiana, Europeans, Australians, and Americans have been offering their opinions on the way forward for Ghana and
Africa and you have the nerves to question your fellow's ethnicity?

Mahama is the only person whose behavior, attitude and sexual escapades have brought an indelible curse on Ghana. That is why there is fire outbreaks, fatal accidents, bush fire, rampant armed robbery, murder and manslaughter. I agree with the author Kofi Amenyo that Mahama must go. We will be happy even if Odike unseats Mahama. Mahama must leave with his promiscuity and many children
