The major difference between this election and the last is the fact that the electoral commission could not tamper with the results. Stop looking for reasons and stop making bogus analysis for the results.

Omanbebea,you have said it all. Every plan by the EC to alter figures in favor of Mahama as usual failed. The bloated voter register which was to become the basis for the rigging was not useful.

The votes of 2016 showed the ACTUALvoter rolling places like Volta, and the Three Northern Regions, where NDC cooked up a 600,000 votes. It also showed the NPP claim of Ivorians and Togolese on the register was real. Those Togolese and Ivorians were really scared of the various curses and the plea of NPP not to meddle in the affairs of Ghana and they therefore refused to cross the boarder to come and vote. Therwas also much vigilance to the effect that the results at the pooling stations were collated properly and we did not see transposition of figures. This shows clearly that the NDC did not win the 2012 elections and they wished they could have done the same tricks in 2016. Their final straw could not hold them as the e-transmission to the EC flat could have massaged the results from the Volta, Western, and the three Northern regions, failed miserably. If anybody wants to see proper analysis of the results, the best way will be to put the National Census and
The Voters Register side by side to be able to determine the true population and voter population in each region and constituency. NDC never wins elections, they steal period.

They use 'ways and means' thru the EC to cheat all the time. But this time around, NPP was vigilant and alert. Why did Charllote Osei waste everyones time to try to massage the figures but found out rather late that Nana had won 'beyond recovery'. Nana won the 2012 elections but had to accept the verdict by the SC. God has a sense of humor, He just humiliated Mahama and his NDC party. Ghanaians have to see that, never again will they sit down for a few selfish individuals take the entire nation for a ride. It'll not happen again. NDC is now dead, and the stolen monies will be retreived. God bless our Homeland Ghana

The writer made a good analysis that can be disputed without his being insulted. People are insulting him because his title sounds antagonistic. It doesn't even reflect the contents of the piece. The title gives the impression that Nana did something illegal to win but that is not exactly what the article itself argues. Nana's victory was not achieved even by trickery. One thing that can certainly be said is that people voted "against" Mahama rather than "for" Nana.
The bottom line is that Nana won clearly which doesn't mean that people cannot analyse the results.

In 2012, the NDC cheated their way to victory because NPP agents were not vigilant enough. How can Mahama receive over 500,000 more votes than all the NDC parliamentarians put together in 2012? This clearly shows how the NDC with the connivance of the EC under Afari Djan cheated their way to victory. This term around, NDC could not carry out their cheating. There was no apathy in NDC's stronghold. The fact is that but for the rigging in 2012, NPP would have won. The 2016 election result is a true reflection of the will of the people.

Let me prove to you that your analysis is FALSE. In fact the real voter turnout for the 2016 election was very high. The problem is that the 15 million captured on the voters register is bloated. Ghana's population growth rate is 3% which implies the youthful population (0-17 years) is far greater than the adult population (18+ years who can vote). Ghana's total population is about 27 million. A voter's register of 15 million implies only 12 million constitutes the youthful population and this truly false. Hence the voters register is bloated. The NDC lost the election because they couldn't rig it as the did in 2012.

Brakopowers is playing a dirty game for the NDC. His arithmetical logic makes sense only when u buy into the NDC VICIOUS DENIAL PROPAGANDA! with the collusion,deliberately or out of sheer incompetence, of the EC. This is a DENIAL of the fact of the BLOATED nature of the Volta Reg. Voters register. A region so sparsely populated nd yet 'commanding' such extraordinary numbers in areas like Ketu Sth can only be the result of ghost names in the register, legitimised only w 'imported' cross border persons in election times. NPP managed to raise enough vigilantes to effectively stem this perennial flow, which accounts for the apparent 'dip' in the percentage turnout.
The fact that the NDC is on the offensive w the so called 'stay-at-home' voters means that they are bent on persuing this charade at the next elections. SO NPP WATCH OUT!
We need to begin an offensive in this direction NOW!

The writer, an Ndc supporter, is perhaps still shedding tears from his eyes. How could he then see clearly, what has hit the Ndc and President Mahama at the polls? The analysis has come too soon to be given any credibility. It must be the type that Ben Ephson always does in the comfort of his office. Knowing in advance, the predicted results of an elections, in cooperation with a compromised EC boss and the cheating Ndc entity. The presumption that voters did not turn up in Ndc strongholds is palpably false. The 2016 elections were contested fiercely. The President and his party admitted too late, during the period leading to the polls, that they were trailing behind a resurgent Nana Akufo Addo. Remember the predicted June disaster which would hit Nana Addo, according to various stories in the news about this happening. Also, the widely circulated AfricaWatch story about
Nana Addo health status. These actions and a lot more others, were moves by a desperate government, seeking to pollute minds of the electorate, to turn against a winning candidate. One thing however, goes for the Ndc and President Mahama. In spite of their apparent incompetence at managing the economy and the massive corruption and in some instances, plain stealing of the nation's funds. Over four million Ghanaians voted for President Mahama and the Ndc. How would you rate these people. Do they really care for Ghana as their homeland and it's future? Let us forget about them to save our sanity. They might have rented out their minds to President Mahama and the Ndc.

If the NDC does not confront and fix their problems boldly, as predicted before the elections it would remain the largest monolithic unattractive political organization in this country forever.
As Ghana pushes strongly for more reforms of the electoral processes and procedures, it will become increasingly difficult for rigging to occur. Ghana is trending towards a situation where the Electoral Commission would be held strongly to live up to it's mandate to ensure processes and procedures leading to the exercising of the sovereign and fundamental constitutional right of the citizenry to self-determination, is free, fair, very clean and very credible as dictated by Constitution.
This was not an election about the suppression of votes in the stronghold of the NDC or voter apathy. Even if there was, on the strength of the numbers, this wasn't that much significant over the 2012 elections. The most important question again is if there was voter apathy from the stronghold of the NDC, what was the cause for it? Was it attributable to the opposition, the NDC party and it's candidate itself or a much more robust electoral system that was held firmly and very strictly to it's mandate to ensure free, fair, clean and credible elections?
As stated somewhere before, the NDC party lost the elections because of about 6 or 7 factors;
1. the candidate
2. the politics(internal and external)
3. the economics
4. the development factor
5. the social
6. the opposition and;
7. a responsive electoral system
The severe loss of John Mahama and the NDC party can be categorized under these broad thematic areas and until the NDC party begins to address these issues, it is going to be the single largest monolithic political grouping or organization in this country. This is free advice.

First, God intervened. Then, most Ghanaians were suffering, and in fact, for the constitution of Ghana bestowed on us by his Excellency, former president J. j. Rawlings, a bold Ghanaian would have been expected to undertake a military action which would have been welcomed, however, the opportunity to change government through the thumb was there. The danger was rigging which from all that Charlotte Osei was doing pointed at that possibility. Our courts helped by ensuring the right things were done to ensure transpirancy and openness. However, on danger remained. The power of money which the NDC had.they could buy the NPP people at the pooling stations to compromise them. Thanks to God, if even they were given money, they did not allow that to compromise them. So, the true will of the people was expressed. The lesson, use whatever resources this country puts at your disposal to seek the welfare of the people, and the lord will bless you with an electoral victory. Stealing will not help you. Big billboards will not help you. If you truthfully apply the nations resources truthfully for the people, your God, through the people will bless you with electoral victory. Mahama was in power and had control of all important resources, yet he lost. This is lesson for all, who strive to be in position of leadership in Ghana.

NO!! far from it. Someone also said the writer's analysis only applies to Volta region, it's not true!! In University of education ,Winneba, I know a lot of students who didn't vote . Some of their reasons are that, they don't which candidate to vote for, or they're not prepared to use their money to travel and vote,or they want Mahama but those around him or the corruption perceptions and so on. So writer's analysis is on point and the voter numbers say it all

Master, I have drawn the conclusion from the study of the poll results.
NPP has a lot to do to consolidate it's win in 2020. The EC itself sealed a lot of the potential rigging options Secondly don't understand why some polling station officers deliver pink sheets very late to the collation centers. To count maximum of 1000 votes and fill the pink sheet ought not to take that long. The delay could be caused by this scenario: the corrupted EC official fills new supplementary pink sheets (legal,) with say NDC polling agent, it will take time to do this since they have to move away from the polling station to do this. In some cases, the polling station officers came a day after pools have closed particularly in one of the Krobo constituencies. In court, we have to prove that the pink sheets held by the NDC and EC is different from the one held by the NPP. Am afraid we will need the assistance of the small parties to win the case in Court.
This will be the new rigging strategy for the NDC, just watch this space in 2020.

This is trash. Your analysis is bogus. NDC and JDM lost because of incompetence, corruptiion,'cronyism, create loot and share. Economic down turn, favoritism et al.
The low turn out was largely due to the bloated register and the vigilance of the opposition parties. Foreigners from neighbouring countries were afraid to come to vote. Agents of the Npp were well catered for and could not be bribed by the Ndc.
The massaging of Presidential results which was the main strategy of the Ndc could not materialise as the Npp employed a more sophiscated strategy to thwart the dabolic machinations of the Ndc and the EC. The ClEC delayed to announce the winner becausecthey were waiting for the massaged results.
It is only God who intervened to save Ghanaians from the Ndc wicked plan. The NPP made the battle the Lords and he won it for us. It was a David and Goliath encounter. NDC thought they could buy the people with money, but Ghanaians are wiser than they thought. The Central region Kofi Adams referred to as their nre world bank showed them that they are not as stupid as he thought. They proved that education in Ghana started from the region.

Carefully thought through analysis of the election and its aftermath will be welcome by people from both sides of the political divide, 'am sure, not the old nonsense and hatred of Akuffo Addo, which, mind you, haven't worked over the years, and in fact, has culminated in this huge endorsement by intelligent Ghanaians.
Just how arrogant and bereft of intelligence NDC's sharp toothed babies are, I guess was significantly underestimated but is all becoming much clearer with such bullshit.

The simple answer is that this tome round, 2016, due to the clear pronouncements of the Supreme Court in the 2013 petition, the NPP and ALL Ghanaians understood how the NDC rigged elections by
1. Over Voting in the form changing the numbers during collation
2. Non-citizens coming in to vote, especially in the Volta region. During the 2016 vote, the Ghana Police decided this time not to let the "outsiders" vote. THe local constables in the villages know the residents and their relatives who do not reside in the community. They thus policed the polling stations to ensure that non-citizens did not get to vote
These two activities essentially has ended the NDC's rigging machinations. The blotted voter register now needs to be cleaned up. The promised National Identification completion exercise will see to this.
Finally, yes turnout in the Volta regions was down, but not by the numbers being cited by the author, if you remove the vote of the non-citizens and the over voting machinations during collation.

Hello Mr Joy FM man,
Please allow me to do a better analysis of the figures you have used to make your unimpressive analysis. If your figures for both 2012 and 2016 votes for both presidential candidates stand to be correct, here is how best to make sense of the what actually happened in 2016 over what did take place in 2012. If John Mahama had 5,574,761 votes and Nana Addo had 5,248,898 votes then it means that Mahama had 325,863 mores than Nana Addo in 2012. In 2016 however, Mahama had 4,550,116 votes against Nana Addo's 5,594,360 which gives a difference of 1,044,244 less votes than Nana Addo. Now comparing the 2012 and 2016 figures figures for each candidate we realise that Nana Addo added 345,462 more votes to his 2012 votes(5,594,360-5,248,898) whilst Mahama 1,024,645 less votes in 2016 than in 2012.
What does this mean?
1. The strategy of NPP to stop NDC's diabolical schemes of votes stuffing and massaging of figures really worked especially in their strongholds of Volta, Northern and Brong Ahafo regions. The 1,024,645 votes lost were actually not all real votes in 2012 but some were foreign votes, stuffed ballots for ghost names and massaged figures.
NPP stopped the massaged figures by using their superior technological knowhow to prevent NDC.
Their vigilance ensured that ghost names were not allowed to be ticked as voted and hence stuffing up ballot boxes.
You can also see that the number of votes which Nana Addo added this year in even more than the number of votes with which Mahama was said to have won over Nana Addo in 2012(345,462 against 325,863). The difference is 19,599 votes. These were Nana's votes which were stolen for Mahama in the massage of figures.This clearly shows Nana won the 2012 election but was painfully stolen from him hence God exonerating him and embarrassing Mahama this time round. God is a just God. The voters register must therefore be looked into carefully again before the next election to clean it of all foreign and ghost names. All those who did not turn out to vote in 2016 mus have their names removed from the register and published extensively in the media so that if they are really in existence then they will go and re-register. Otherwise their names be permanently be out from the register. The difference between the figures obtained by Nana Addo and Mahama really reflects the true votes which have gone on in the country over the years but have unfortunately been changed in favour of the crooked NDC party. No more will this happen again in Ghana now that we see the light.
Mahama never had 5,574,761 votes in 2012. They were imaginary votes which were massaged into the figures to give a win to Mahama.

We need better analysis to enrich our knowledge but not these elementary ones.

The background intimidation of voters to get them stay off voting the NDC to power may be true. But the larger issue has to do with the gross nose-thumbing by the Mahama Administration to the Public on their cries against corruption among his cronies.
The "Yentie Obiara" conceited mantra was unbalanced when poised to face with the "All die be die" one from the Akufo-Addo camp. The latter was rigidly firm in its application. The former drew apathy.
Long Live Ghana!!!

Silly article!
The major difference between this election and the last is the fact that the electoral commission could not tamper with the results. Stop looking for reasons and stop making bogus analysis for the results.
Good observation, but it did not explain the loss in GAR,CR,BR.

This article does not make sense. Don't forget there are a lot of first time voters who were not eligible to vote in the 2012 elections, so all if them voted for Nana Addo cos of the incompetency of your govt.
Bogus analysis, the 2012 figures were massaged by the NDC. Take that into account. The next election will be worse for the NDC.
Ghanaians cannot be deceive by John Mahama again and thus why wee voted masively against him.Take ur bogus article away..May God bless Nana.
