The Ghanaian Democrat

"NDC to recapture Ablekuma Central...Two-thirds majority in the offing", says the Ghanaian Democrat in a front page banner. According to the paper, the die is cast and come Friday, March 26, the battle for Ablekuma Central would have been won and lost. The paper says from all indications, and judging by the mood of the electorate, the good people of Ablekuma Central, whether in Mataheko, Zongo Junction, Lartebiorshie Sukura or wherever, have made up their minds, "and the pendulum is going to swing at the right direction and it is going to be Honourable Ismail Safianu Bawa, the NDC candidate". The Democrat says the NDC has fought to ensure victory next Friday and that the election of Mr Bawa will give the "party of the people" a comfortable majority in Parliament, the dreaded two-thirds majority that is sending shivers down the spines of the opposition. "The NDC has worked hard to annex the Ablekuma Central constituency and to reclaim the seat that rightly belongs to the ruling party", says the paper.
