When things go terribly wrong in a group and you happen to be a leader there are three truths to hold on to:
Dr Okoe Boye
The leader bears ultimate responsibility; accept all blame , do not explain matters, people shouting at you do so to get out poison and pain, once out, same people will help build again.
Let go of all grudges; many are those you might have helped but will also play victim, forgive , be the bad person as the leader and they too will join the rebuilding process.
Hold on to hope and give it to all; hope is so critical. We must believe that the same people who rejected us will come for us soon. It is the humility we show, the listening we do and the adaptations we make that will make our journey from defeat to victory shorter.
In conclusion only one person can be right in the democratic process, the voter , only he or she has the power and only he or she deserves commendation.
The NPP lost miserably and painfully in the just concluded general elections.This awfully catastrophic defeat is a REFERENDUM on President Akufo-Addo, his leadership style and the performance of his government. NADAA is unapologetically nepotic to the detriment to our Party and his government. NADAA must take full responsibility of our defeat.
DMB is a great man. He worked so hard and put in his utmost best in the campaign but got punished for the “sins”of NADAA.
How come E-levy got implemented when DMB publicly denounced it?
Why did KOA keep his job as Finance Minister when it was clear to everyone that he was an absolute liability to the government?
Why didn’t NADAA listen to the over 90 MPs when they had concerns about KOA’s diminished capacity to continue in the job and asked for his removal?
Wasn’t it reprehensively ironic that Mr. President refused to reshuffle his fatigued cabinet when the majority of Ghanaians, including many members of the NPP demanded for it? And only did a limited reshuffle when it didn’t matter anymore?
What was this nonsense about the cathedral?
Why did the government cancel a successful programme like NABCO?
How come electricity and water tariffs went up few months to elections?
These and many more avoidable mistakes caused our defeat.
Look, we lost this election because NADAA didn’t care. We lost because we got some important things wrong. We lost because the party became weak, unresourceful, and lost gravitas and failed to galvanize and excite the base of our supporters.
Commissioning and cutting sods for projects as lame duck president hurt most people. l was hurt me too. It didn’t make sense! It showed a sign of desperation.
Let’s step back and rebuild our party. Going forward, we must be courageous enough to begin an honest conversation to repair the party. We will come back strongly if we sincerely reflect upon this humiliation and set a recovery plan, build a concrete platform for the reconstruction of our Party.
I congratulate DMB for his courage and resilience. He has demonstrated greater efficiency and bravery in the campaign.There is no doubt that DMB exemplifies commitment and intellectual acumen. He remains an important stakeholder in our party and country.
Jean Mensah’s statement, “it is finished,” has sparked intense speculation about its meaning in the context of her role as Electoral Commission Boss of Ghana. While her words are reminiscent of Jesus’ declaration on the cross, which signified the completion of his redemptive work ¹ ² ³, the implications for Jean Mensah’s situation are less clear.
In biblical context, “it is finished” signifies the culmination of Jesus’ mission to fulfill Old Testament prophecies, complete the judgment of sin, and provide forgiveness through his sacrifice ². However, when applied to Jean Mensah’s situation, the phrase takes on a different connotation.
Considering the threats made by the newly elected NDC party during their opposition days, it’s possible that Jean Mensah’s statement is a response to perceived political pressure. Her appointment by the outgoing president and the NPP party could be a factor in her assertion that her work is done.
Possible interpretations of her statement include:
Political Context
Completion of Mandate: Jean Mensah may be signaling that she has fulfilled her duties to the best of her abilities, regardless of potential backlash from the NDC party.
Political Pressure: Her statement could be a response to the threats made by the NDC, indicating that she is prepared for any consequences.
Personal Perspective
Confidence and Resilience: Jean Mensah’s statement may reflect her confidence in her work and her ability to withstand political pressure.
Personal Satisfaction: She may be expressing personal satisfaction with her accomplishments, regardless of the political climate.
To understand the true meaning behind Jean Mensah’s statement, it’s essential to consider the specific context and potential motivations. Without further clarification, the interpretation of her words remains speculative.
Perez Chapel International owned by Archbishop Charles Agyinasare (initially started as World Miracle Bible Church which was later renamed World Miracle International) started in Tamale, the Northern Region of Ghana in 1987.
It is without doubt that, alot of Muslim Friends in Tamale assisted Archbishop Charles Agyinasre and his family to survived in Tamale for 7 years (from residence to church premises) before moving to Accra in 1994 to continue his Ministry.
Before starting a Ministry for our Lord Jesus Christ, the respected man of God, Archbishop Charles Agyinasre practiced Buddhism for four years, and subsequently fasted and prayed with Muslims in contemplation of converting to Islam. Throughout this beautiful journey, God used the process to build Archbishop Charles Agyinasare for his current Ministry. It is factual to state that, the Muslims that Archbishop Charles Agyinasare fasted and prayed with in many ways and times provided support to him for survival before encountering Jesus Christ.

King Darius, the 3rd Persian (Iran) Emperor was an extremely important figure for the Jews in the early Persian period because of his excellent role in the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem.
Hiram (Phoenician King of Tyre) tremendously and graciously helped King Solomon to build the Temple by supplying Men, builders, building materials, cedar and cypress trees to King Solomon.

Great Nations are built with Great Ideas and Possibilities mindset.
Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has great ideas, possibility mindset, and bold solutions to upgrade Ghana to an advanced economic nation driven by 4th Industrial Revolution, Blue Economy, STEM Education, Digital Economy etc.
Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia stands for Religious Tolerance, Peaceful Co-existence, and All-inclusive development.
Vote for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as the next President of the Republic of Ghana.
Former President John Dramani Mahama’s recent statements reveal a troubling pattern of disrespect and division that Ghanaians cannot afford to ignore. His remarks, which disparage various ethnic groups in the country, demonstrate his disregard for national unity and the aspirations of those he seeks to lead. Such behavior is unworthy of someone seeking to lead a diverse and democratic country like Ghana.
Mahama’s remark that “Gas do not need digitalisation; all they need is kenkey and fish” is both reckless and dismissive of the Ga community’s aspirations. It reduces their needs to mere survival, ignoring their right to development, progress, and participation in Ghana’s technological future. This statement demonstrates a gross underestimation of the Ga people’s potentials and dignity vis-a-vis the historical significant contributions they have made towards the country’s development.
It is insulting to suggest that a person’s value can be reduced to their diet rather than their intelligence and abilities.
Equally troubling is Mahama’s disparaging characterization of the Ashanti people as “villagers” because of their conversational style.
Former President Mahama insulted the Ashanti people and their cultural nuances by claiming that Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia was “acting like a villager” for answering questions in a specific manner. Such divisive rhetoric only serves to alienate a proud and hardworking group of citizens who have contributed significantly to the nation’s progress. A leader’s responsibility is to bring people together rather than sow seeds of discord.
Furthermore, the NDC Member of Parliament for Ketu South’s remarks, which implied that votes in the Volta Region could be secured by simply distributing cassava dough and Maggi cubes, were equally offensive. This statement reflects a patronizing attitude toward the Ewe people, implying that their votes can be bought with small gifts rather than earned through meaningful policies and respect. It highlights a larger problem within the NDC; a consistent failure to respect the intelligence and dignity of the people they claim to represent.
These incidents highlight a troubling pattern of behavior within the NDC, led by Mahama, that disrespects the very people it seeks to lead. Ghanaians deserve better leaders who value and respect all ethnic groups, strive to unite rather than divide, and prioritize progress and development over personal insults.
It is time for Gas, Akans, Ewes, and all Ghanaians to speak out against such disrespect. By voting against divisive leaders such as John Mahama and the NDC, Ghanaians can send a strong message that they will not tolerate leaders who denigrate their countrymen. The nation’s future requires leaders who respect and empower all citizens, regardless of ethnicity or region.
Kumasi, December 2 ,2024 – To vote or not to vote in the 2024 general elections in Ghana is a pivotal decision that many citizens are grappling with.
The realm of politics has undeniably seeped into every facet of Ghanaian life, shaping conversations, decisions, and even daily interactions.
Whether it’s the vibrant campaign rallies that electrify the streets or the heated debates that echo through communities, politics has truly become the heartbeat of the nation.
Amidst this political fervor, there exists a stark divide among voters. While some individuals find solace and purpose in engaging with political discourse, others are left feeling disillusioned and disheartened.
These frustrated voters, disillusioned by broken promises and unmet expectations, struggle to see the tangible benefits of participating in the political process. For them, the once noble pursuit of democracy has been tainted by corruption, inefficiency, and unfulfilled potential.
The author
Take, for instance, a disillusioned voter in a rural village who has witnessed generations of politicians make grand promises during election season, only to vanish once votes are cast.
Or consider a young professional in the bustling city of Kumasi jaded by the endless cycle of political scandals and power struggles that seem to overshadow any genuine progress.
Despite the challenges and frustrations that many voters face, it is crucial to remember the power and significance of each vote cast. Every ballot holds the potential to shape the future of Ghana and influence the trajectory of the nation.
As the 2024 general elections loom on the horizon, the decision to vote or abstain carries weighty consequences that extend far beyond individual grievances.
In this complex landscape of political engagement and disenchantment, it is imperative for citizens to critically evaluate their role in shaping the destiny of their nation.
The choice to vote or not to vote is not merely a personal decision but a collective responsibility that impacts the fabric of Ghanaian society.
As the voices of frustrated voters echo through the corridors of power, it is essential to seek solutions that bridge the gap between political ideals and practical realities.
Only through informed, engaged, and empowered citizenry can Ghana truly fulfill its democratic potential and pave the way for a brighter future for all.
Former President J. A. Kufuor is 100% right to say that Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is the person with the right attitude, competence, integrity and strategic mindset to transform Ghana.
The unpleasant attacks from Alan Kyerematen in response to Kufuor’s endorsement of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia can be best described as “a person old in age, yet carrying the burden of wounds and bitterness due to the person’s defeats in the 2007, 2010, 2014, and 2023 Presidential Primaries of the New Patriotic Party”.
J.A.Kufour
Without healing it would be extremely difficult for God Almighty to grant Alan Kyerematen access to the Jubilee House.
Sincerely speaking, Alan and his household are the major cause of the defeats and declining relevance of Alan in the political environment of Ghana.
Unfortunately, Alan’s relevance in the NPP faded like a leaf largely because of his inability to sustain and improve upon the goodwill that he attracted during the 2007 Presidential Primaries.
Alan Kyeremanten
Former President Kufuor never devalue your worth, in fact your name was not mentioned throughout his interview endorsing Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
Why should Alan therefore be offended by Kufuor’s endorsement of Dr. Mahamudu? Is Kufuor a member of Afrafanto?
The sense of political entitlement by Alan and his supporters is a very serious character-challenge.
Razak KoJo Opoku
Has Alan ever wondered about the number of people that his political decisions over the years have negatively impacted and rendered useless in NPP; creating a high level of mistrust for his followers?
According to Hon. Alan Kyerematen, he is the originator of 70% of the Policies under the Kufuor administration. This is a complete fallacy and delusional.
Apart from the field of trade, what expertise does Alan Kyerematen possess?
A bigger question is, were 70% of Kufuor’s policies trade related?
Is Alan Kyerematen the only person in the NPP and Ghana who could reason and come out with excellent policies or ideas?
The utterances of Alan against Kufuor amount to hyper-inflated view of his performance and track record in Kufuor’s government.
It is important for Alan Kyerematen, and supporters to understand that the loss of NPP in the 2024 general election would not automatically get Alan Kyerematen elected as the President of the Republic of Ghana.
Also, it is very necessary for Alan Kyerematen to do sober reflections on the following:
John Agyekum Kufuor has been a President of the Republic of Ghana before, an achievement Alan Kyerematen might NOT be able to experience for the rest of his political career.
Former President Kufuor has NEVER served under Alan Kyerematen as an appointee but Alan Kyerematen served under Kufuor’s presidency.
In effect, politically, Kufuor’s government made you relevant in the public service. A servant, in this case Alan can NEVER outshine his Master Kufuor.
No one pushed you out of NPP, it was your own decision supported by your lovely wife to exit from the NPP because you were seriously offended and angered by the decision of delegates of NPP to settle on Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia (1st) and Kennedy Agyapong (2nd) over you.
Kufuor as a Former President on the ticket of the New Patriotic Party(NPP) has every legitimate right under the 1992 Constitution and the Constitution of the New Patriotic Party to fully endorse and promote Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to the electorates ahead of the December 7th, 2024 general election.
Alan exited from the NPP to form his own Movement for Change (Afrafanto) without informing or seeking wise counsel from Kufuor.
Therefore, Kufuor is not obligated to seek the opinion of Alan Kyerematen before endorsing or refusing to endorse Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, a man destined to lead Ghana and NPP.
No one in the NPP prevented Alan Kyerematen from consistently engaging party’s grassroots, and nurturing, mentoring, resourcing, and sponsoring members of NPP for the positions of Executives and Parliamentary candidates.
No one in the NPP prevented Alan Kyerematen from building media structures, think-tanks and grassroots support within the Party.
No one in the NPP prevented the wife of Alan Kyerematen from actively taking an interest in the activities of the NPP.
No one in the NPP prevented Mrs. Patricia Christabel Kyerematen, the wife of Alan Kyerematen from setting up a “Foundation”, a special purpose vehicle to support the presidential ambition of her husband just like Ghanaians experienced the positive works of:
(a). Samira Empowerment and Humanitarian Projects(SEHP), owned by Mrs. Samira Bawumia.
(b). Rebecca Foundation, owned by Mrs. Rebecca Akufo-Addo.
(c). Mother and Child Community Development(MCCDF), owned by Mrs. Theresa Kufuor.
(d). Foundation for Child Education Ghana(FCEG), owned by Mrs. Ernestina Naadu Mills.
(e). Lordina Foundation, owned by Mrs. Lordina Mahama.
(f). 31st December Women’s Movement, owned by Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings.
While some women were busy strategically setting up Foundations to support their husband’s presidential campaigns, a particular wife of a presidential candidate is busy sowing seeds of discords, bitterness, and jealousy, into the heart of her husband; completely poisoning the emotions and psychology of a once respected politician who served in Kufuor’s government and Akufo-Addo’s government as a Minister of Trade and Industry.
Did anyone in the NPP prevent Alan Kyerematen from regularly attending Akwasidae and Awukudae in the Ashanti Region?
Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, a non-Ashanti has consistently, without fail, attended almost all the celebrations of Akwasidae and Awukudae of Asanteman, respecting the culture, traditions and customs of Asanteman.
How can Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, a non-Ashanti relate so well with Asanteman but an indigenous son like Alan Kyerematen struggle to do so?
Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has personally contributed to the building of a Central Mosque in Ashanti Region, benefitting thousands of Muslims in the Region including Asantekramos.
What has Alan personally built for the Christian Community in the Ashanti Region, which is both his father’s and mother’s hometown?
Did any Member of the New Patriotic Party ask Alan Kyerematen to abandoned the 2012 electioneering campaign of NPP in pursuit of his personal ambition of becoming the Director-General of World Trade Organization(WTO)?
Did any member of the New Patriotic Party force Alan Kyerematen to issue a resignation letter to the Party’s leadership after the 2007 Presidential Primaries?
Having vision and ambition alone is not good enough to become President. You equally need superior strategy and structures within and outside of the Political Party, and this is an approach Alan Kyerematen failed to appreciate.
Always campaigning with bitter souls has negatively affected Alan’s chances at the Presidency.
We were told by the supporters of Alan Kyerematen that, the Presidential Special Initiatives(PSI) introduced in the erstwhile Kufuor’s government was the brainchild of Alan Kyerematen. The question is, what has been the impact of those PSI in Ghana since their implementations?
However, many Ghanaians are directly and indirectly benefitting from the sustainable initiatives of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia such as:
1. Medical Drones
2. Mobile Money Interoperability
3. E-Pharmacy and Telehealth Services App.
4. Paperless Port System.
5. Digital Addressing System
6. Ghana Card
7. National Health Insurance App
8. Ghana. Gov, enabling MMDAs to offer top-notch digitized services to Ghanaians from a single platform.
9. Automation of Premix Fuel Distribution System
10. Sinohydro deal, leading to the construction of Tamale Interchange.
Also, ahead of the 2024 general elections, the two most powerful policies that can position Ghana well in the community of nations were proposed by Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia namely:
Blue Economy
The blue economy(also known as ocean economy) has an estimated turnover between $3 and $6 trillion, as well as create about 260 million jobs to the global economy.
Digital Economy
In 2016, the global digital economy was worth $11.5 trillion, equivalent to 15.5% of the World’s overall Gross Domestic Product. In 2022, digital economy contributed $4.27 trillion to the economy of United States of America. In 2023, digital economy constituted 43% of China’s Gross Domestic Product. The total economy of Africa is $3.1 trillion(2023 final data), which is far below the $4.2 trillion contribution of digital economy to the economy of United States of America in 2022.
The future of every economy is digitalization, technology economy or digital economy. The 24-hour economy is a subset of a digital economy.
In conclusion, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is the Best Man to lead Ghana for the next four years, and Former President Kufuor is Right for promoting the candidacy of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
IS IT TRUE THAT A CERTAIN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE IS DEAD?
Under the 1992 constitution of Ghana, specific reference to article 50 clause 4 which says that ” where at the close of nominations, but before the election,one of the candidates dies, a further period of ten days shall be allowed for nominations:, and where the death occurs at any time within twenty – five days before the election, the election in that constituency or unit shall be postponed for twenty – one days . Two scenarios can be picked from clause 4 of article 50 of the constitution
Madam Akua Donkor,Ghana Freedom Party, Presidential candidate reported dead
First scenario is where at the close of nominations, but before the election,one of the presidential candidates dies, a further period of ten days shall be allowed for nominations.
Second scenario, is where the death occurs in either a district assembly election or Parliamentary election at any time within twenty-five days before the election, the election in that constituency or unit shall be postponed for twenty-one days.
It could also be gleaned from C.I. 127 Regulation 13 subregulation 4 ,which says that where at the close of nominations, but before the election, one of the candidates, a further period of ten days shall be allowed for nominations. In this regard, I think that the framers of the law were making reference to the case where a Presidential candidate dies at the close of nominations, but before the election. See Regulation 13 (5) which also talks about where death occurs in a parliamentary election or district assembly election.
Regulation 17 (1) of C.127, says that where an election is to be held and a candidate dies on the eve of the election and proof of the death of the candidate is given to returning officer before the commencement of the poll the returning officer shall put on hold, proceedings in relation to the election and inform the commission.
Regulation 17 (2) , says that the Commission shall on receipt of information under subregulation (1) adjourn the poll and allow a period of ten days for the political party to which the candidate belonged to nominate a new candidate.
Further reading of Regulation 17 (3) posits that,where the deceased candidate was an independent candidate, the Commission shall not permit the nomination of another person and proceedings in relation to the election shall continue. What this means is that, where the deceased person was either an independent presidential or Parliamentary candidate in the election, the Commission ie Electoral Commission shall not permit the nomination of another person or replacement and proceedings in relation to the election shall continue.
I shall now invite the lawyers and judges to give their interpretation….
After successfully establishing my ABROYE COCOA FARM, it became necessary to hire a caretaker (KOOKOO NHWESONI) to look after it for me. He was to ensure that the farm which was yielding 100 bags a year was cleared of weeds, applied fertilizer regularly, smartly pruned the trees, controlled diseases and pests, and whenever necessary irrigated the cocoa trees in dry seasons.
It was also agreed that, the caretaker earned one-third (1/3) of the harvest each year. To ensure efficiency and fairness, we also agreed to review his performance at the end of a four-year production cycle. His contract was to be extended or terminated based on performance measured by the number of cocoa bags produced per year from the Abroye Cocoa Farm.
Prof.Peter Twumasi
First, I hired Odooka to oversee the Abroye Cocoa Farm. He moved into Abroye Farmhouse with his wife, children and farm laborers. Odooka is experienced farmer who worked hard on the farm but also never joked with his social and fun part of his life. After every hard day’s work, Odooka and his friends entertained themselves with drinks, food and music. This aspect of life sometimes slowed his operations on the Cocoa Farm.
For instance, he couldn’t weed entire farm in a season, he failed to spray entire farm with pesticides, he partly applied fertilizer to the cocoa trees, and he mostly delayed in harvesting the ripened cocoa pods leading to their decay. When the cocoa beans were put on mats for solar drying, Odooka, due to his frequent drinking and partying, obtained mouldy beans thereby reducing the overall yield.
In the first year, Odooka obtained 45 bags of cocoa beans for the Abroye Cocoa Farm. In the second year, the total yield dropped to 39 bags. It further dropped to 35 bags in the third year, and 29 bags in the fourth year.
I was highly dissatisfied with Odooka’s performance since none of the four years yielded even half of the Abroye Cocoa Farm’s capacity. So I immediately terminated his appointment during the four-year review exercise.
Next came another caretaker by the name Bamputa. He brought his family and servants to the Abroye Farmhouse. We agreed on same conditions set earlier. Bamputa worked so hard on the Abroye Cocoa Farm in the first and subsequent years. Assisted by his servants, they cleared all weeds on the farm, applied fertilizer and insecticides on the entire farm, and he pruned the cocoa trees to ensure high yield. Bamputa loved his family very much, and he always stayed home after work and during holidays.
He fed his servants well at home and occasionally entertained them with good music and sports. Harvest in his first year was 85 bags of cocoa. He again increased to 105 bags in his second year. The yield reached 120 bags in his third year.
In his fourth year, unfortunately, the area was struck by severe drought and locusts infestation. This double-disaster nearly decimated the Abroye Cocoa Farm and other neighboring farms. Disappointingly, the cocoa yield for the fourth year drastically dropped to 65 bags..
This year, I am to review performance of my caretaker, and to consider whether or not to renew Bamputa’s contract for another four years. Seeing the disappointment in this year’s cocoa production and the possibility of replacing Bamputa, my former caretaker, Odooka, has applied to be given another four-year contract with assurances that this time he will put up his maximum effort to exceed the current abysmal performance of Bamputa. He promises to bring me satisfaction and happiness during the next cocoa season if I give him another chance.
Ladies and gentlemen, I am still comparing and contrasting attributes of these two caretakers to arrive at one who will give me that satisfaction and happiness in the next four cocoa seasons.
Comrades, I urgently seek your advice. Should it be ODOOKA or BAMPUTA for the next four years?
After interacting with students of the two nursing and midwifery training colleges in the Ellembelle Constituenucy, I proceeded to Ayinase to interact with market women, traders, shoppers, commercial drivers and the general public.
I told the women about NDC presidential candidate John Dramani Mahama’s strong commitment to empowering women financially.
As part of this commitment, the next NDC government will establish. Women’s Development Bank to offer loans to about one million women with flexible repayment terms. This will be a big boost to women in various self-employed business as well as those in the corporate world.
I also assured the people that we will use our 8th position on the ballot paper to break their 8 and to break corruption, nepotism, state capture, poor quality education and poor governance, among others.
