The point is that it is the same stale dish that is served to Ghanaians every four or eight years, party after party, regardless of which party is in power. Alas, Ghanaians have failed to see this.
Of all her numerously written about Plans A, B, C, etc. to rig Election 2016 in favour of the NDC and President Mahama, she has in what amounts to the last straw that broke the camel’s back, resorted to disenfranchising the majority of Ghanaian electorates.
The last few years of the Mills-Mahama Administrations and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) were indeed abusive. And the rebound effect will be so strong that a good number of Ghanaians have fallen into the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and Nana Addo-Dankwa Akufo-Addo embrace.
