A Ghanaian politician and businessman who represents Assin Central in parliament for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has disclosed that Ghanaians should be very careful with this NDC and their lies as they have nothing to offer because His Ex. the late Atta Mills, who was presumed to be peace-maker even lied through his teeth and could not delivered.
To him, the late president Atta Mills in his 2008 campaign promised Ghanaians to reduced things drastically including electricity bills, water bills and to make national health insurance scheme one term premium but couldn’t fulfilled and even increased the utility bills, when he was elected as a president.
Speaking on Wontumi FM/TV “Ammamuo Mu Nsem”, Hon. Kennedy Agyapong revealed that the best gift anybody can give to you on earth is education. So if today, the poor and the rich are able access equal free education, as a parent, you can invest your money into your businesses.
Talking about Tracey Boakye and Gloria Kani “Papa no” trending issues, Hon. Kennedy Agyapong said that;
“They are small flies and where the world is heading towards to, we don’t need to discuss about them at all because, John Mahama was very cheap that’s why he fell for those cheap girls. So we don’t need to discuss them but rather discuss serious issues.
The harm has already been done and John Dramani Mahama can never become a president again for what the girl has done to him, yeah he won’t!. The girl has done serious damage to president Mahama and what I thought was that, the ladies should be very careful because if someone has really helped you and you have totally disgraced him forever and ever, I think it is not proper at all.” He added.
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has revealed that he will never prosecute any member of his government who has been accused of corruption on the basis of mere allegations that lack evidence or substance.
“All the allegations levelled against an appointee of my government have not gone without consequence, there have been investigated. If at the end of the investigation it is found that the allegation was just an allegation and there was no substance to it, I’m not going to prosecute people on the basis of mere allegations.” He revealed in an interview monitored by Mynewsgh.
One of the critical issues that comes up in the lead up to every election is corruption and since the inception of the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo led administration in 2017, there have been several corruption scandals and allegations levelled against his appointees.
He continued “I think that the fight against corruption that I have spearheaded is multifaceted. There are some to do with behaviour, others to do with institutional empowerment, you have the prosecutorial aspect of it and then you have off course sensitization.”
Speaking on Cape Coast-based ATL FM, the President who is also the Flagbearer for the New Patriotic Party(NPP) for the 2020 general elections, said people snare whenever he says he’s vigorously fighting corruption.
“Every time, I want to underline this, I know people like to take snare at it but it’s important that every time any allegation have been made against an appointee of mine I’ve got that allegation investigated whether by parliament, CHRAJ or the police,” he added.
Ghanaians have less than 100 days to select their Presidential and Parliamentary candidates. Each political party is rounding up preparations to emerge victorious in the poll. This years’ poll will be one of a kind that would be deeply etched in the minds of Ghanaians.
It will be defined by the comparative performance of these two leaders and Ghanaians will choose between which of the four years they preferred most.
On September 3, 2020, Vice President Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia began a 10 day working visit to the northern region to pay courtesy call on Cheifs, opinion leaders and people in the region. He visited Overlord of Dagbon, Ya-Na Abukari II, Paramount Chief of the Mion Traditional Area, Muhammadu Abdulai III and other leaders to mark the beginning of his tour.
On one second day of his tour, he stopped at Tatale, Zabzugu and Saboba to pay courtesy call on the Paramount Chiefs and people.
Thousands of people poured out onto the streets to grace his arrival. He was given an ecstatic welcome with streets filled with crowd amidst joyous shouting and chanting “4 more 4 Nana” slogan. A crowd consisting of children, young adults and some aged stormed to catch a glimpse.
He used the opportunity to assure the Cheifs and people of the unrelenting commitment of the Akuffo Addo-led NPP government to providing more developments in the area and the northern part of Ghana in general.
He also reflected on some of the projects that have been commissioned by NPP in the area and how beneficial they have contributed to their lives.
The Chiefs, opinion leaders and the people indicated that they have received a fair share of President Akuffo Addo’s nationwide impactful interventions and that they good reasons to back the President’s bid for another term.
There is no doubt that the battle for power in the 2020 election is between former president John Dramani Mahama and the current president Nana Addo DankwaAkufo-Addo.
These two personalities are the front runners for this year’s election.
Election predictors cannot predict who wins the 2020 election without mentioning the names of these individuals.
Almost all the predictions are in two directions, either the current president Nana Addo DankwaAkufo-Addo will win the election or former president John Dramani Mahama wining the election.
Currently on the prediction cards is the founder and leader of Calvary Worship Center, Very Rev. Dr. Peter Ofori who has predicted a win for former president John Dramani Mahama.
In an interview with Dave Hammer, the man of God revealed that John Mahama has taken the lead spiritually and if it will continue that way, then John Mahama will definitely be the winner in the 2020 general elections.
Very Rev. Dr. Peter Ofori said, “as I’m speaking now, spiritually, John Mahama has taken the lead, the National Democratic Congress wants to prove to the New Patriotic Party that they are 4 years government”
Very. Rev. Dr. Peter Ofori further revealed that he is not against any political party. He said he only disclose what has been revealed to him by God Almighty.
He concluded by say that, 2020 is a surprise year and we are likely to see a surprise in the coming election. He said, according to the numerology, any political party who works hard will be favored to win the elections since 2020 is an open year that does not favor anybody.
Well, is the Very Rev. Dr. Ofori Speaking from the numerological points or from the prophecy he received from God?
Let us wait and see what happens in the 2020 election.

John Dumelo Hungrily Sucks On Hausa Koko In Rubber Like A Refugee All In The Name Of Election Votes
Welcome to politics!
When you are forced to be all the things that you would rather not be on a typical day.
Ideally, actor cum politician John Dumelo could be having the most fulfilling breakfast in the comfort of his home but in the name of politics, he is seen sucking on Hausa Koko in rubber, feeding on it like a refugee.
Firebeand of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kennedy Agypong has returned once again to throw his trademark brash persona in our face by alleging that former President John Dramani Mahama inflated the cost the Kasoa Interchange for personal gains.
According to the controversial Ghanaian lawmaker, the leader of the opposition National Democratic Congress used the money to buy 350 land cruisers to bribe some Chiefs in Ghana ahead of the last elections in Ghana.
“They used the extra money from the inflated contract sum to buy 350 land cruisers and shared it amongst the Chiefs to deceive them for votes. We don’t need people like that who only think about what they will eat and not the destiny of future unborn generations,” he alleged on Kingdom FM.
Continuing, he said: “The Kasoa interchange alone built by the NDC cost us $270M but the auxiliary roads and hospitals they much talked about didn’t happen as promised. One of the contractors revealed to me that he was tasked by the NDC to inflate the cost of the Kasoa interchange over $40M.”
The National DemocraticCongress (NDC) has said its yet to be outdoored 2020 manifesto will offer the citizenry policies based on truth and transformation.
According to the Communications Officer of the party, Sammy Gyamfi, the NDC will next week provide a much comprehensive manifesto filled with promises it intends to keep.
Speaking in an interview with GhanaWeb on Tuesday, September 1, the communications officer said; “Our manifesto will be one that will create jobs and opportunity for all and not a select few.”
“This is a manifesto filled with well thought out and truthful policies and programmes that will be delivered by the former President Mahama and supported by his running mate, Prof. Jane Opoku-Agyeman when elected. So, we the [NDC] are not going to tell lies to the people of this country or make promises we don’t intend to keep,” he said.
Meanwhile, the flagbearer of the NDC John Dramani Mahama already disclosed some of the policies his party intends to implement if elected in the upcoming Decmember polls.
One of them is the provision of free primary health care to all and the ‘Big Push’ infrastructural initiative which will earmark some US$10 billion seeking to create about one million jobs and employ some 250,000 Ghanaians within four years.
The initiative would see the injection of the funds into infrastructural development to boost the construction and engineering sectors as well as other professionals and artisans.
The launch of the NDC’s manifesto was initially slated for August 31, 2020 but was postponed to September 7, 2020 of next week.
Following the launch of the governing New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) manifesto on August 21, 2020, the party says the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) deferred it’s manifesto launch because their flagbearer, John Mahama “still cannot determine what Ghanaians want”.
Ghanaian lawmaker, Kennedy Agyapong has heaped praises on the President of the Republic of Ghana, Nana Akufo Addo for performing wonders in his first term in office. He contended that Nana Akufo’s massive achievements mean he can equally solve the problems of America in a matter of seconds when he becomes their president.
Speaking in an interview on KFMTV, the NPP’s firebrand minced no words at all when he made the following remarks:
“Akufo-Addo should be given to the people of America and all their problems will be done away with. The achievement in his first term is unparalleled and he needs all the praise he deserves. Apart from the clean up in the banking sector, look at how he has managed the COVID-19. Just look at the rate of our recoveries and you’ll get what I’m saying,” he bragged.
Mills he would have taken Ghana to heaven by now.”
The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama has done his thing again as he drops another humongous list of his promises despite criticism.
The NDC candidate, Mahama has not stop his humongous list of promises despite criticism from public figures, politicians and other presidential candidates from other parties
It is just 98days to one of the biggest event in the Nation which will decide who will become the next President of the Republic of Ghana.
Will it still Nana Akufo-Addo of NPP or John Dramani Mahama of NDC?, we don’t know yet but December 7, 2020 will give us the answer.
However, the fact is that the 2020 elections is between two major political party in Ghana
And also two well known presidential candidates who have competed for the presidential post for some number of times now i.e Nana Addo Danquah Akufo-Addo of the New Patriotic Party who happens to be the current president and the opposition candidate, John Dramani Mahama.
The former president of the Republic of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama is so much ready and he is giving all his efforts to come out victorious in the December polls.
But despite all his efforts, there has been a massive criticism against some of his campaign promises because many feels he is giving those promises to score political points and also to win the hearts of Ghanaians so they will vote for him.
According to yesterday, 30 August 2020 reports, the presidential candidates of the Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG), Kofi Akpaloo expressed his disappointments over the former president humongous list of promises and mostly the one he said, he will legalize Okada riding business.
But despite all criticism and down play, the NDC presidential candidate still recapitulated the same promises on his official Facebook page this morning.
Below are pictures of what he posted as he had promised during his campaign;
Member of Parliament for North Tongu Constituency Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has revealed that the Mahama administration was able to reduce teacher absenteeism at the basic and second cycle levels from the 27 per cent they inherited to 7 per cent.
He told host Abena Tabi on The Key Points on TV3 Saturday, August 29 that the administration also managed to remove 65 per cent of the schools that were under trees.
This, according the former Deputy Minister of Education, was as result of the remarkable investment Mr Mahama and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) made in the educational sector.
Contributing to a discussion on the track records of the NDC and the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr Ablakwa said: “I will situate what we did in three broad spectrums: quality, access and equity.
“If you look at quality you will notice that former president Mahama was committed to improving outcomes and so looked at all the gamut of issues that has to be invested in and has to be addressed.
“So you take for example teacher absenteeism, we met it at 27 per cent and through a vigorours campaign, meeting with the teacher unions and putting in place the right systems because it is not fair that parents will pay fees, children will go to school and there are no teachers to teach them, by the end of our four-year mandate teacher absenteeism had reduced from 27 to 7 per cent.
“You take the nature of our rural schools. We counted not less than 4000 schools under trees [and] you are competing with students in Singapore, students in Finland and these are yardsticks. If you look at their class environment it is friendly, the child is looking forward to the next day of school and so we decided to embark on a programme which we call Elimination of Schools Under Trees. And the records will show that we managed to eliminate about 65 per cent of the schools under trees which we met across the length and breadth of this country.”
He further revealed that the best Basic Education Certificate Examination as well as the West African Senior Schools Certificate Examinations (WASSCE) results topped under the NDC administration due to these and other investments.
“For four consecutive years Ghana was adjudged the best WASSCE performing nation because of these investments that were made. We carried out an inventory of teachers we realised that some 3400 vacancies exist so far as Maths and Science teachers are concerned and we recruited teachers to fill that vacancies,” he said.
Reacting to his comments also on the same show, Deputy Minister of Education in charge of Second Cycle Education Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum said the NDC only tackled the symptoms of the problems in the sector and left the actual problem.
“If you solve teacher absenteeism and not take a look at the school leadership and accountability you are not going to get anywhere.
“When it comes to education you have to be mindful of what you are doing. You may end up solving the

The Ghana Committed Drivers Association (GCDA) has expressed total disappointment in former President and flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) John Dramani Mahama for promising to legalize and regulate the operation of motorbikes, popularly known as Okada, should he win the December 7 polls.
The drivers consider the legalization of motorbikes for commercial purpose contradictory to the Road Traffic Regulation 2012 and Legislative Instrument (LI) 2180, which ban commercialization of motorbikes in Ghana.
Chairman of GCDA Charles Danso, in an interview on Yensempa on Onua FM on Wednesday, August 26 stated categorically that legalizing okada is like introducing genocide in Ghana.
Mr. Danso wants former president Mahama to be dragged to court for publicly announcing his intention to legalize the operation of okada in the country for commercial purposes.
“Former President Mahama needs to be dragged to court because what he is saying is like introducing genocide where people are given guns to kill.
“We have laws which forbid motorbikes to be used for commercial purposes and this same law was gazetted when Mr. Mahama was president,” he stated.
The Road Traffic Regulation, according to Mr. Danso, only allows Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) to register motorbikes for courier services but not for commercial purposes hence do not understand the rationale behind former president’s intent.
Mr. Danso lamented on the mutilation Okada had had on the society, counting the huge number of lives lost through motorbike accidents as well as those who have been rendered inoperative.
He bewailed that okada has caused more harm in society than good and therefore drivers would forever resist its legalization by any government.
He threatened that the day the government would commercialize operation of okada in Ghana would be the same day all road safety laws regulating commercial drivers would cease.
The chairman for committed drivers thus appealed to political parties to desist from politicking with issues of national interest.
An independent candidate is likely to contest for Ghana’s next general election in 2020.
Marricke Kofi Gane, describing himself as “a son of the land”, declared his intention Thursday to run for president of Ghana as an independent presidential candidate in a Facebook post.
“I am here to put Ghana first because Ghana deserves better! Because you deserve better! Because we deserve better,” he said in a four-minute video posted on the social media network.
“Our generation is a bridge – the only remaining bridge between the truncated dreams of our forebears and the eager hopes of posterity unborn. We have no choice but to disrupt every faulty status quo and make Ghana work for all of us. It is a grave burden that will demand more from all of us collectively. God has indeed blessed our homeland Ghana. It is we, who must now make her Great and Strong,” the audit and consultancy manager said.
Below are the full details of his statement:

He believes the solution to our development, lies in Ghana’s youthful population, if well-equipped, motivated, then directed. He is a passionate Ghanaian with high integrity, a balanced Christian and respecter of all faiths and creeds.
In his own words: “Our generation is a bridge – the only remaining bridge between the truncated dreams of our forebears and the eager hopes of posterity unborn.

As a demonstration of their commitment and pledge to the party and its progress, newly elected executives of the Convention People’s Party, took an oath of allegiance during their swearing-in ceremony on Tuesday, August 26, 2020.
The event which was held at the party’s headquarters in Accra saw the Flagbearer, Ivor Kobina Greensheet, and other executives of the party, officially being ushered into their respective leadership positions.
This follows the party’s national delegates congress held in the Eastern Region on Saturday, August 22, 2020.
Greenstreet won 213 of the total valid votes cast against Bright Akwetey and Divine Ayivor who polled 27 and 14 of the total valid votes cast respectively.
Nana Akosua Frimpomaa Kumakuma, who was the 2012 running-mate of the then CPP flagbearer Dr Abu Sakara Foster, was elected National Chairperson.
Nana Yaa Akyimpim Jantuah, former Public Affairs Director of the Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC), was elected General Secretary with 187 votes against acting General Secretary James Kwabena Bomfeh popularly known as Kabila who polled 67 votes.
Emmanuel Ogbojor won 125 votes to become Vice Chairman of the party against Onsy Kwame Nkrumah, self-acclaimed son of CPP’s founder Kwame Nkrumah who polled 84 votes.
Meanwhile, Flagbearer, Mr. Greenstreet has entreated Ghanaians to be circumspect with their votes. He believes a vote for the CPP is a vote for the Ghanaian populace whereas a vote for the two big parties, New Patriotic Party and National Democratic Congress a wasted one.
“People of Ghana, a vote for the CPP is a vote for yourself. For the past 28 years, our country has been governed by the NPP and the NDC who have ruled more to serve the interest of they themselves and not the interest of the people of Ghana,” he stated.
