    this govt due to their anti Akan agenda and discrimination saturated by hate and envy of the Akans can never do anything right or good . Their wickedness is so deep in their subconscious and conscious that its fully geared to ...

  • Areo 9 years ago

    Then let's elect Addai Nimo, he is 49 and the youngest among the seven. This politics of age is stupid.

  • Away 9 years ago

    It could be stupid but THAT IS THE REALITY. Sometimes it is difficult to understand the masses.

  • OKATAKYIE 9 years ago

    Inasmuch as age is a critical factor in political leadership elections/campaigns, winning or losing elections in Ghana is not just a simple matter of having a rather 'youthful' candidate.

    Can you adequately tell us Alan's ...

    "Alan John Kyerematen turns 61 years by October 2016."President John Mahama was born in 1958. He will be 58 years old in 2016. Per your stupid analysis based on age, Alan will be no match for Mahama.

    The earlier Katakyie is taken to the psychiatric hospital for brain surgery the better because I strongly believe something is wrong in his human anatomy.
    Family members should contact me for help if they want to fly him to ...

    For what reason. This is historical records. Challenge the figures. We are all here to learn.

  • Ugly Akufo Addo 9 years ago

    Akufo Addo is nt fit for npp flagbearership, he will die by 2015

  • Onipanua 9 years ago

    Any person who thinks that Rawlings winning the 1992 election over Adu-Boahene is a shocker is really an idiot, and such is Katakyie Kwame Opoku Agyemang. You are the one sowing the seeds for politics of age right now.

    Masa, forget. Go and set the records straight in your family. Make sure the head of your family is given to the young ones. Kwasia ba

  • Haruna 9 years ago

    If your analogy about family heads makes sense, can't we just go the Birth's and Death's registry, find the oldest man/woman in Ghana, and make him/her the president? Why waste time on elections? You are rather displaying, ex ...

    This is not a matter of family inheritance but NATIONAL POLITICS.

    Silly write ups from silly man

  • Okatakyie 9 years ago

    You really need to restrategise on how you present Alan. There is still no traction in his campaign because he has not articulated any vision. He needs to go back to the drawing board. This insinuatory articles alienate the N ...

  • FQ 9 years ago

    Your point can be clear and concise. You do not need a lengthy artice to express it. I live in the US and don't have the time for such garbage. You lose substance, so make it brief next time.

  • Annorwuo 9 years ago

    Broadening the scope of this 'need for change debate',rather than covering the same territory over and over again! Frankly speaking,I believe the law of diminishing returns is beginning to set in.
    Nonetheless, I really like ...

    We need a change that we can believe in.Nana Addo supporters are not able to convince anybody with facts.They are not able to explain why he should be given a third chance.What about if he fails again?Thank you.

    This stale and ugly cacophony about choosing a younger presidential candidate over an older one is a scam . Loud-mouthed, unscrupulous and opportunistic free-loaders doubling as politicians have for far too long held sway ov ...

    I think the civil society should lead this advocacy. However, in politics,the youthfulness and appearance of the candidate count a lot.

    Do not falsify points to present your position. Kufour is older than Mills. Mills would have been &0 years this year 2014 whereas Kufour will turn 76 December this year.

    You are being disingenuous, come clean

  • Mark 9 years ago

    Still age matters. Do you think Nana is still VIBRANT as he was in 2008 and 2012. The man looks very tired after continuous travels and talks over a decade. I don't know how he will manage himself in this contest. Maybe...

    Can somebody bring this lunatic to order? You have nothing to do so you just sit infront of your computer to write anything that comes out from you stomach. Please leave the asakyiri out of this. We don't people to assume asa ...

    This guy is a luntic indeed. CPP was banned so Busia won his election on a silver platter without any challenge. Gbedemah won his seat as an MP but Progress Party government threw him out to make Ghana a one-party state which ...

    We have gone beyond politics of experimentation as a country.

    Koffi, how many Ghanaians think and analyse issues as you do. There is no doubt that Nana would perform well should he get the power. Politics in Ghana is greatly influenced by tribalism, looks, age, religion, and other frivo ...
