The NPP are determined to do so many things second – are they sure they really want to win this election?
Manifesto launch – 2nd. Picking of nomination forms – 2nd. Election 2016 – 2nd?
Cwesi Oteng over the weekend endorsed the flag bearer of the New Patriotic Party, Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo-Addo, for office of the President.
Cwesi Oteng, in a post on twitter, noted that he thinks the country needs a breath of fresh air.
And we are supposed to believe him, I reckon?
Lucky Mensah, who has emerged as one of the NPP’s toughest celebrity supporters this election, has denied any money changed hands for him to be doing his current work.
Talk about karma being a b-word and all that – the President’s Central Regional rally Friday night suffered a temporary dumsor that he then quickly went on to blame on his political opponents.
I’m still trying to figure out how that kind of mental gymnastics work.
A 21 year old girl described as Leticia is making waves after a video of her with a ‘tattoo’ of the face of NPP flagbearer Nana Akuffo-Addo on her emerged.
Leticia is seen in the video squatting, topless, as she shows off the drawing on her back.
Lucky Mensah is the man of the moment. The musician has declared his support for the NPP and released a song for them, a far cry from his 2012 activities when he was firmly in the corner of the NDC.
His switch has raised numerous questions and made headline news – and he has even claimed that he has received threats for his decision to switch parties.
The President, John Mahama, has sarcastically mocked his opponent, Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo-Addo – employing the most beloved catchphrase of actor Lil Win ‘I can’t think far’.
President Mahama was speaking in the Central Region Wednesday when he made the flippant remark.
In a moment of political irony that would be pretty tough to beat, the convoy of NPP flagbearer Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo-Addo got stuck in water during a tour of the Northern Region, the very place his opponent and the current President, John Dramani Mahama, hails from.
Whenever the NDC are hit with claims of ruining the economy, they counter by saying they have initiated massive infrastructure development that is unprecedented. Yet in the President’s very own region of the country, the argument doesn’t seem to hold up very well.
The flagbearer of the opposition New Patriotic Party, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has promised that his government would establish at least one dam in every village in the Northern part of the country if elected into office.
Nana Addo was addressing the Bolgatanga Traditional Council Sunday when he made the promise, saying agriculture needs to be improved and that is one way to do that.
The NDC’s Deputy General Secretary Koku Anyidoho says he had a horrific nightmare one night that prevented him from going to sleep afterwards, as he launched a series of attacks on the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Koku said in his dream, Nana Akuffo-Addo was President and Ursula Owusu was de-facto first lady – running the country from the shadows. He added that Kennedy Agyapong had been appointed National Security Advisor, Atta Akyea as Attorney General, Gabby Otchere-Darko was Interior Minister and Nana Asante Bediatu was the Independent Prosecutor Nana Addo had promised.
The NPP flagbearer, Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo-Addo, has pledged to deal more stridently with public sector corruption when elected into office.
Nana Addo said he would set up an office of a special prosecutor who would be independent of the Executive, to investigate and prosecute officials found guilty of corruption.
One prominent trait among politicians of a certain ilk is that they never admit to wrongdoing- they just double down on whatever absurd pronouncement they made as if it’s the most natural thing in the world.
Donald Trump has done this well his entire campaign, and now Nii Lante Vanderpuye is indulging as well.
The ruling National Democratic Congress are scrambling to spin the scandalous comments passed by Nii Lante Vanderpuye, coming out to somewhat lamely say that his comments were metaphorical.
Vanderpuye, speaking during the party’s campaign launch in the Central region, said that the opposition leader cannot be President because “The presidency is not for short people.”
Ghanaian politricks at its best. Nana Akuffo-Addo thought he had a winning idea whilst campaigning through the Western Region, promising to indulge a long held wish of some residents for the region to be split into two.
But it hasn’t taken long for the NDC to counter, claiming that they already have that plan in the pipeline.
Charlotte Osei was busy explaining the challenges to election rigging on Good Evening Ghana last night, saying she couldn’t steal the election even if she wanted to.
In another portion of her interview with Kwaku Sakyi Addo, the EC boss was also asked about her personal relationship to the top two candidtates in the race – President John Dramani Mahama and opposition leader Nana Akuffo-Addo.
