AND I PLEDGE MYSELF IN ALL THINGS TO UPHOLD AND DEFEND THE GOOD NAME OF GHANA. SO HELP ME GOD.
Ghana has always been described as the trail blazer in democracy and this is the time to showcase to the whole world that we have arrived and that democracy is here to stay. Out of the 7 qualified presidential candidates for this election, the two leading parties are the National Democratic Congress (NDC) with the candidate in the person of HE. John Dramani Mahama the sitting president and the leading opposition leader Nana Akufo-Addo representing the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
HE. John Dramani Mahama: Sitting President
A John Mahama win will be historic as the only president in the history of the country to have served as President for more than eight years. A lose by President Mahama will be historic because that will be the first time in the history of the country for a sitting president to lose an election and handover to an opposition.
Nana Akufo-Addo: Leader of Leading opposition
A win by Nana Akufo-Addo will be historic. He will be the first-ever president to have unseated a sitting president in a competitive election. A lose by Nana Addo will be historic because, he would have been the first-ever candidate vying for the presidency in the Busia-Danquah tradition to have lost an election three consecutive times.
These makes the two of them and this very election highly competitive
Who is going to win? will a new party evolve outside these two parties? The answer is yet to be discovered.
What are your take on this election? Can you predict the winner from your experience and point of view?
Whatever the outcome will be, it will be a win for Mother Ghana..... Wishing Ghana a PEACEFUL ELECTION.. Long live Ghana!
