topsyking: The election was rigged but cos of d foolish record dey want to keep as a good democratic country in africa.,opposition no won talk....rubbish!!!
..There is no free n fair election anywhere in africa

hmmmm interesting...

Very true

jbrodaly: I asked a Ghana friend about the election and this was what he said:"If the current(acting)president wins the election ,then hope is lost for a better Africa.People are voting for a particular party because of monetary enticements and turning away from a party that has clear cut plans for the country."I asked him to give me one of such plans.He actually gave me two when i asked him.Hear him again-"They are making national health insurance available to everyone in the country as long as they register for it.Free education until secondary school level."
Please are there Ghanians in the house?Please confirm this.
Thanks

OLUSEGUN OBASANJO was here in Ghana during the election.... All ghanians believe he ringed it... Cos the incumbent presidential opponent promise free education when he comes to power and he truly pulled crowed.....OBJ!

leomaxx: I doubt that very much, anyway if they are up to 25m, it means a lot of people didnt vote. Lagos is about the size of Ghana, its a little country its prolly why less than 3000 Megawatts can power the entire country.

14mil registered voters, and 11mil validly voted in this election

shabi john dey among him name? Na him go win am b4 nah, i no nid prophet 2 tell say na him win am

Why do you say that it was rigged?

Techwriter: Ghana must go, Ghana must go! Well they left to build their country and soon you would be needing VISa to enter Ghana. Their democracy is working, their light is working, their education is working. Anyway I doubt if the Igbos would do better if all Nigerians begin to shout Biafra must go! Biafra must go!! Cos in this Lagos, landlords & Fashola are already saying it silently and in the North Boko Haram believes that action speaks faster than words

why are u posting rubbish my friend. which ghana has electricity? are they generating more electricity than nigeria or what?... are u talkin about ghana in west africa or another planet? and which fashola ask igbos to go.. can u back it up with credible source... no nation is perfect but u must speak ill of ur nation to gain rank ... please stop talking like a mor0n okay? thanks

That cannot be possible, OBJ was the chairman of an AU/Ecowas observers of less than 30 pple how could they have rigged an election of about 10 regions/states and 20k plus polling stations in Ghana

Da election was not rigged, you all Jux think about your own election coming very soon.

Ghanaian here, the ELECTION was NOT rigged!!!

SmoothLIFE: Ghanaian here, the ELECTION was NOT rigged!!!

What was the reason for the massive protests and riots bro ?

ekt_bear: Can someone summarize the views/general philosophy of the two leading candidates (Mahama and Akufo-Addo) and/or their parties? I don't know anything about Ghanaian politics.

Mahama : free quality education in second school 20yrs time that its not possible for the economy to sustain it now. Moreover there is a continuation of project execution whoever is in goverment so one cannot really say who did what but its mostly credited to who finished the project

Nana : Free second school now, btw if u are in ghana you know that they are lagging behing in education. The only reason I see the Npp didn't win was they were arrogant in their campaigns and were always atacking credibility of Ndc personalities instead of their principles

yes it's true.
The national health insurance was made available when the npp(opposition party) was in power. During the Mills/Mahama regime, people started complaining about the effectiveness of the NHIS, so Nana Addo promised to make it more effective once he is elected as president.
The free shs is also true, it was actually his top priority.
Note that John mahama(his excellency) also proposed quality education,so the people had to decide whether they want free or quality shs.

Nothing like impossibility especially wen it comes to elections.... 'm an eye witness bro!

leomaxx: What was the reason for the massive protests and riots bro ?

that is what happens when people lose.

For example, when your team loses a football match don't you try to find excuses to help you cope with the loss??

Similar things happen during elections!

Thank God he has shoes

Ghanians are too emotional to say the least

I understand, but Ghana has been conducting elections and there are always opposition failures without rioting. Why was this different ? Did the opposition have evidence of rigging ?

ybman:

So tell NL how he was able to do that

Popowaa: Very true

Got it!Then the result is not a sign of good things.I mean people cannot be stupid to vote for the other party that have not clear cut manifesto.
Is Africa retrogressing or what?Unless the rigging allegations are true.

leomaxx: I understand, but Ghana has been conducting elections and there are always opposition failures without rioting. Why was this different ? Did the opposition have evidence of rigging ?

They say they have concrete evidence and the electoral commision say they are free to go to court, so maybe they will be doing that but personally I don't see that happening.

I would have really loved to see the free shs policy manifest.Education is the bedrock of every society. We don't go to school to be educated, we go to school to learn how to be educated

which Ghana are u taking about ? listen my friend, there is nothing like steady light in Ghana. There is no good roads in Ghana. Ghanaians children pay 5.5 million old cedi i.e 50,000 naira to attend ordinary government secondary school and 75% Ghanaian children can't afford it. That is why SSCE holder in Ghana parade himself like semi God. Honestly Ghanaians are suffering and that is why NPP Presidential candidate Nana Akofo Ado promise Ghanaians free senior high school.

There were no "riots"... Just a few people gathering after by the Electoral commissions office mainly teenagers

if its just few people gathering, why heavily armed soilders had to use tear gas to disperse them? That doesnt sound peaceful u knw?

It wasn't perfect they were pockets of violence here and there,some Npp thugs attacked a tv stations vehicle and some of their reporters and was almost going to the station hq but for the intervention of the security

well, if the rigging allegations are true, then they need to give sufficient evidence, which will take a fairly long time. so the harm's already been done.
also people did not vote for Nana Addo because they felt he was too proud and arrogant. Even most people in the constituency which he originally comes from voted for the NDC.

Nigeria generates more money than Ghana its just that Ghana is less corrupt, but I am afraid that they are gradually going there btw no incubent has ever lost an election and this is the third time running that should be the next step of their democracy.

It could still be that the NDC ruling party campaign jingles were too sweet and people danced forgot policies and voted according to superior Azonto lol

There is no country in the world that is perfect. Why are u always disgracing urself in this forum. Do u want us to believe that Ghana is heaven or what. Honestly u have problem in ur life. Plz my belove Nigerians, if u have not being to Ghana, just google Ghanaweb.com. U will be surprise to hear the kind of crimes, abomination etc that is happening in that hypocrite shit-hole called Ghana. Ghanaians don't care about the problems in their country, there main problem is Nigeria.

Ghanaians have proven once again that they can organize peaceful and credible elections. I did not hear or read any story of unnecessary killings.

Congratulations to my Ghanaian brothers and sisters.
