Bullgod, also known as Lawrence Nana Asiamah Hanson, is an entertainment commentator and artist management who has recommended to the Electoral Commission that the election date be moved from December.

Speaking on Joy Prime's Prime Morning broadcast, he claimed that because most diaspora members are afraid to travel because of the possibility of violence, the exercise has an impact on artistic endeavors and investments over the holiday season.

Most event planners work hard to plan events after the elections, but they end up with lesser attendance than they would in any other year, thus they are losing money.

"I believe that changing the election date is one of the things we should think about. Last year, there was a rumor that they planned to place it in November. Therefore, I believe we can achieve it in November, just like the Americas, or even earlier. Why don't we? It's only a day. The impact it has on investment is the reason. A significant amount of revenue is generated during that period.



Regarding if it would have an impact on the transition process, the analyst stated that constitutional amendments may be introduced to direct the process and establish a new date for the handover to the new administration.

The conventional method of doing things has changed, and politicians must adapt to keep up with the times, he noted, adding that Ghana cannot continue to be mired in the past.

The things that are constant in my life have changed. We can't remain locked in our habits unless they claim that December's revenue is insignificant because of the time.

Bullgod is therefore urging industry participants and stakeholders to support this, proposing that the date be rescheduled for either November or the middle of the year.

Entertainment commentator Edem Mensah-Tsortome, who was also contributing to the show, agreed with Bullgod, stating that some individuals who were in the nation prior to the elections were considering leaving because they were afraid of war and mayhem.


Due to the possibility of a sharp drop in attendance, this may have resulted in enormous losses for the entertainment sector and event planners, including musicians.

It seems as though none of us who were present can predict what will occur. In a way, we felt nervous," he continued.

He begged the responsible stakeholders to reconsider and take the change into consideration if there was any chance of changing the decision.
