Since 1951 NPP has always complained.It did not complain when Kufour won Is it a question of sore losers? What a record 1951, 54, 56,60, 65, None in 69,2000,2004 with Busia or Kufour but 92, 96, 2008 and 2012

Author of the article I believe you have made good points. I doubt if the EC does not know the difficulties in proxy voting and the remedies to it.
My question is has PROXY voting been done in the country before. What problemshould were encountered and solutions thereoff.
Of course if the past mistakes cannot be tackled then it should not be used.
Considering that the US military has massive logistical support. The US also has embassies and consulates in almost every country would it matter just by name of Proxy and Absentee voting. It is just a matter of the British saying thank you and the American using I appreciate it more often.

I agree though, all the opposition parties must watch out.

I don't think you really know your party's history. For your information, your founder and the serial coup maker, Rawlings entered the political scene through the back door. He led a military regime-PNDC government and ruled Ghanaians for a little over 11 years. He hanged his military uniform, used the tax payers money and formed the NDC Party. Actually the NDC Party was born out of violence.

Here we go again, K. Badu desperately trying to mislead us about proxy voting.
On Aug. 20, 2016, Mr Badu wrote an article titled: 'Proxy Voting: a clandestine tool for vote rigging'
to which I rebutted:
"The purpose of education, real education that is, is to use knowledge to impart information to free thinking people to use that information to decide their leaning in major national discourse like the Dec.7 elections.
K. Badu made such a big fuss about proxy voting...sounding the alarm bells as if there is going to be a big voting rigging on December 7 and that the voting booths will be filled with 'the walking dead'. But democratic voting is all relative and comparative to what happens in the rest of the free world. So let us look at the breakdown of the results of the UK 2015 election, and I used UK so as to make Mr Badu understand what proxy voting is all about:
"In 2015, 30.7 million valid votes were cast, making the overall turnout across UK 66.2%. Of that total 150,000 electors(.3% OF THE TOTAL) appointed proxies." ((source: electoralcommission.org.UK)).
Let us cap this discussion off with who can apply for a proxy vote and again this is gleaned from gov.UK :
- you'll be away
- you will be at work
- you will be attending a course
- you're disabled
- you are living overseas
- you are serving overseas as a member of the armed forces.
Of course, our own criteria may be a bit different but can't be that far off. Yes, we may want Mahama out because of what we may rightly or wrongly perceive as his obvious shortcomings, but let us be truthful in how we go about doing it. Just spreading lies and wrong information would't cut it because Ghanaians are now very discerning ...and very much wide awake!

What is the connection between what you have spewed here and Mr Badu's article? Mr Badu has actually broached a salient point here. You keep referring to UK's proxy voting and what you fail to acknowledge is it is the only the main applicant who can pick application form and not the proxy voter.
Perusing through Mr Badu's article, I cannot see where he is objecting to proxy voting, he is rather raising alarm over the EC's unlawful proposal of allowing a proxy voter to pick up application form without the main applicant present. Tell me, don't you find such an illegality quite strange?
Stop upbraiding Mr Badu and assess the issue critically.

Moses, what K. Badu is doing is instilling mass fear in Ghanaians about proxy voting. For example, during the last UK elections, out of the 30.7 million valid votes cast, only 0.3% of that were proxy votes. You read that right: 0.3%, which translates to only 92,100 people out of 30.7 million. Every vote counts but you get the idea.
And to compound things, Mr Badu said "...though various jurisdictions in the US have historically allowed proxy voting, it is currently outlawed under federal law. Just when did this law come into effect in US?
Enough of this fear mongering and facts twisting.

Am sorry your analysis lacks clarity. First, what does UK's 30 million voters and the 0.3 proxy voters have to do with Mr Badu's valid concerns about proxy voters picking application forms on their own? What don't you address such an unlawful proposal.
Besides, Mr Badu has provided a link about the proxy outlaw in U.S, so what is your problem? Why don't you carry out your own research and disprove him? Enough of your UK examples which have no linkage with Mr Badu's analysis. If UK has successfully used proxy voting in its elections, does it also mean Ghana EC will be fair? You must be a stranger to the Ghanaian electoral arena.

Oh, so Mr Badu is right after all? Just search for absentee voting and you will realise that there is no such thing as proxy voting in the U.S. Don't tell me absentee voting is the same as proxy voting. In absentee voting system, the absentee voter apply for a ballot whereever he/she may be. In proxy voting, you delegate someone to vote for you. So, go on and do your independent research Mr Jonah.
