President Rawlings has asked voters not to confuse his picture with that of Mr. Goosie Tanoh, the 44-year-old flagbearer of the National Reform Party, and end up voting for the brown-faced Goosie, instead of the dark-faced Vice President John Evans Atta Mills.

"When l look at the presidential candidates, there is one brown face, almost like mine. Don't make a mistake of thinking it is Rawlings' face and go and put your thumbprint there o-o-o!"

To the amusement of the crowd, Rawlings said, "The Professor's face is black like the others. If you are not sure, he is in the number two position. If you are not sure, the umbrella is by his face".
