    Kudos Yaw,I like your piece!.Sincerely, the D/B tradition has no respect for Voltarians.They only show some concern & respect when it comes to election seasons.Your piece is timely & very educative.

  • SARPONG 7 years ago

    So a party that got 700,000 can target for 1.5 million votes, more than 100% increase in votes but 13% cannot go to 30%, this article shows clearly how tribalistic the Ewes are.

  • Idiot Contemnor Mugabe 7 years ago

    Little education is dangerous indeed. The author of this article is clearly miseducated. No wonder Ghana is sinking deeper and deeper into the mire with such a bunch of charlatans in charge of affairs. You may surprise to kno ...

    Thanks for your comment, on average, this guy sounds like most Ewes and that is the truth.

    As ridiculous as he sounds, he is a typical Ewe.

  • KKO 7 years ago

    Sarpong,
    This is the honest truth, their clergy, chiefs, academics, carpenters and market women, all reason like this guy.

    The only way to save Ghana from the precipice is for all of us Akans to work to get Mahama out of ...

    There is so much poverty in the Volta Region and yet they vote against themselves, voting for a party that has no new ideas and has done very little for them considering they have been in power for 27+ years. VR is taking for ...

  • OBOURBA 7 years ago

    Like the akata people in the U.S.these voltarians will continue to vote for the NDC even if a goat is made the party's candidate. Ghana is doomed with people with this sort of reasoning.

  • John Salifu 7 years ago

    This guy is sowing sees of ignorance. When they go to the US to do the odd jobs and do not educate themselves they carry themselves about as if they know the system. The truth is they don't.

  • I am an EWE 7 years ago

    Therefore try to caution that writer of this article instead
    Why is he talking for Ewe, just because of Power?
    Mark it down, NPP will get 35%, NDP will get 30%, PPP will get 15%.

    Since 1992, the NDC has been led by an Ewe from the Volta Region, a Fante from the Central Region and a Gonja from the Northern Region. But the NPP has never been led by a non-Akan, lending credence to the perception of the p ...
