NDC Evalue Ajomoro-Gwira youth to vote ‘skirt & blouse’
New Party to Emerge from the NPP by December 2015
While the potential split of the NPP is something that has been lingering on for some time now, the final straw, signaling the ultimate split of the party, is the ongoing move by Council of Elders to use the party’s Disciplinary Committee to remove party’s National Chairman, Paul Afoko, who they have accused of violating the NPP’s constitution.
There are also moves by the NPP council of elders, (described by former Communication director of ‘Akufo Addo 2012’ Campaign, Dr Arthur Kennedy, as appendages of the NPP flag bearer, Nana Akufo-Addo,) to also get the party’s General Secretary, Kwabena Agyapong sacked.
According to a member of the NPP’s Council of Elders, Boniface Gambilla, the National Chairman is the main person that must be dealt with immediately before attention is turned on Kwabena Agyepong.

NDC Primaries: 120 File In Northern Region
This paper’s checks at some NDC constituency offices revealed that a great number of candidates could not file their forms at the close of nominations on Thursday.
For instance, at the Bole/Bamboi Constituency, Today gathered that only two aspirants were able to file their nominations.
NDC To Vet All Aspirants at Accra Headquarters
This means President John Mahama and over 600 parliamentary aspirants would be trooping to the party’s headquarters in the coming weeks to face executives of the party’s election committee.
On august 27, the NDC opened nominations for parliamentary and presidential aspirants. Interested members had 14 days to pick and submit their forms.
As of Thursday September 10, all regions had closed nominations except the Ashanti region.
The region could not start the process by the given date due to an ongoing registration of members as part of the introduction of an inclusive franchise system.
Closing date has therefore been extended to September 17 in the Ashanti region. A total of 689 aspirants have submitted their forms out of which only 56 were females.
The northern region had the highest nominations of 120, followed by the Greater Accra with 110, Volta region 97, Eastern region 81, the Central and Brong Ahafo regions had 66 nominations each, Western region 69, Upper East 44, and 35 nominations filed in the Upper West region where Minister Of Chieftaincy and Culture, Dr Seidu Danaa filed his nomination.
19 of the aspirants some of whom are incumbent MPs are going unopposed.
Meanwhile, some big names like the Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Ebo Barton Oduro and Dr. Benjamin Kumbour are not contesting. The presidential slot according to the party was only contested by President John Dramani Mahama.
In an interview with TV3 News, General Secretary of the party Johnson Asiedu Nketia said all aspirants including incumbent MPs and the president are expected to be vetted as a sign of the party's commitment to deepening democracy.
He said “this year we’d do a one stop shop vetting. That is we would deploy teams to the various regions and then we would invite the respective constituency executives, and respective regional executives and the national team that goes would join them and we’d do the vetting.”
“The party gave fourteen days within which nominations should be filed. You could file any day out of the fourteen days. If you couldn’t file how are you going to file with the electoral commission that would give only three days?
“We know of presidential candidates who found themselves in similar circumstances before the 2012 elections. The Electoral Commission did not look at the status of the persons involved; they applied the law which we also applied.”
The parliamentary and presidential primaries have been slated for November 7, 2015.

NPP to picket at EC over new voters' register
According to the National Youth Organiser of the NPP Sammy Awuku, the decision to join the protest being spearheaded by pressure groups, Let My Vote Count, Alliance For Accountable Governance and Movement for Change, is because a new voters' register for 2016 borders on the very survival of Ghana's democracy.
Determined to ensure that the call for a new voters' register is not reduced to the "usual NPP and NDC banter", Awuku explained the planned picketing at the EC is not an antagonistic crusade.
Akufo-Addo to storm Upper East with ‘Arise and Build’ tour today
The flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Nana Akufo-Addo is expected to take his ‘Arise and Build’ tour to the Upper East region today.
Nana Addo has so far visited the Volta and Eastern regions. The tour is part of his campaign strategies for next year’s elections.
Speaking to Starr News, special aide to the NPP flagbearer Mustapha Hamid said the campaign will take a different format in the three regions up north.
“ It will be a seven or eight-day tour which will begin today. The objective hasn’t changed except that some of the dynamics will change because of the religious setting of those regions. It is a predominantly Muslim community and so that will be factored in the message.
“ In the Muslim centers, he will promote peace and urge that we rise against what is bad and promote what is good,” Hamid stated.

Prince Kassim attempts to ‘oust’ Akatsi South MP
Popular National Democratic Congress (NDC) rising star Prince Kassim Alubankudi filed to contest the Akatsi South constituency primaries of the Volta region.
In what has been described as a wind of change blowing through the constituency, Kassim was the only one who filed Thursday to unseat the incumbent Bernard Ahiafor who is said to have lost favour with the electorate. The Akatsi South constituency used to be held by the Speaker of the Ghanaian Parliament, the Rt. Hon. Edward Doe Adjaho.
Just when Hon. Ahiafor’s supporters thought the MP was going unopposed, Kassim filed his nominations close to the deadline to send shivers down the spines of the incumbent and his supporters.
Agyepong has just been unfair to Nana Addo – Gabby
According to him, Kwabena Agyepong knew in advance, the road-map for the tour but asked to be excused because he would be out of the country by the time Nana Addo’s team arrives in the Volta Region.
Kwabena Agyepong had lamented in radio interviews about attempts by officials close to Nana Akufo-Addo, to sideline him from activities of the flag bearer. The NPP’s General Secretary said he only read about Nana Addo’s tour on the internet because he was not informed about the exact dates.
“National Executives went for a meeting and there was no indication that the date of the National tour was 2nd September. In fact it was on the 1st of September that I read on the internet that Eugene Arhin who is the press secretary to the Presidential candidate had issued a statement indicating that Nana Addo will start his tour in the Volta Region,” Agyepong said. Unhappy about the General Secretary’s claims, Gabby Asare Otchere Darko on the The Big Issue on Citi FM, insisted Mr Agyepong is being “unfair” to Nana Addo. "I try not to get involved in this internal thing but I think it has also been unfair to the presidential candidate.”
“On his national tour, Akufo-Addo made it absolutely clear to the General Secretary that he was going to travel with him. And I had the opportunity, a day before the Alisa hotel meeting, to personally sit in front of the General Secretary in his office and he told me he was traveling for two weeks so he can’t join Nana for his national tour, so when he comes back he will join him for the rest of the tour.”
Gabby disclosed that initially, “Nana wanted to start the campaign in the North,” but later changed to the Volta Region of which Kwabena Agyepong was aware off.
Gabby said, Kwebena Agyepong’s name did not appear on the list released to the media because he had told Nana Addo that he will be away for two weeks. Gabby explained that Mr Agyepong had told him that Nana Addo can begin the tour in the Volta, “when I come back I will be with him,” the Kwabena Agyepong said.

Suspending Afoko would muddy NPP waters - Lecturer
The decision by the Council of Elders of the New Patriotic Party to ask National Chairman, Paul Afoko to be suspended has been described as a step that could further muddy the party’s waters.Some political watchers have described the move as one that could deepen the woes of the NPP because instead of healing the party. The decision, they say, would rather infuriate supporters of Mr. Afoko and worsen the cracks within the rank and file of the party.
The main opposition in Ghana has in the last few months been in the media for all the wrong reasons especially amongst its senior executives. The latest twist to the never ending drama in the NPP was when the Council of Elders wrote to the National Executives Committee to suspend Paul Afoko until after the 2016 elections.

Ex-DCE Cries Like Baby
The NDC top official recounted painfully how the Ashanti Regional NDC, including his own friends in the ruling political party in Kumasi, turned their backs on him when he was receiving treatment at the hospital for seven months at the hospital.
Tony Nyame disclosed that some known New Patriotic Party (NPP) members in Kumasi, especially Ayisi Boateng offered to help him on his sick bed, noting that he was saddened by the treatment meted out to him by NDC members.
“I was sick for seven months receiving treatment at the hospital but nobody in the NDC in the Ashanti region even cared to visit me on my sick bed,” he disclosed amid intermittent wailing, adding that Alhaji Alhassan Tapsoba was the only NDC member who helped him.
According to him, he had served the NDC faithfully for decades with his expertise and resources.
He expressed surprise about the party’s decision to abandon him during difficult times.
Tony Nyame, who was unhappy with the total neglect of his party members, could not control his emotions as he wept uncontrollably during the interview, compelling the host of the show, Kofi Asante to end the interview abruptly.
Earlier Tony Nyame accused his predecessor, Kwabena Nkrumah, who is the sitting DCE for Atwima Kwawonma, of masterminding his removal from office by President Mahama.
“He peddled falsehood about me leading to my sack from office.”
He indicated that Kwabena Nkrumah allegedly paid money to some people in the party, who concocted negative stories about him, saying now that he (Tony Nyame) had fully recovered from his sickness, he was combat ready to retaliate.
“I will face Kwabena Nkrumah squarely this time around.”
Tony Nyame said he had realized that Kwabena Nkrumah had picked nomination forms to contest in the NDC parliamentary primary at Atwima Kwanwoma.
“Therefore I have also picked forms to contest and defeat him in the party’s polls to retaliate since he made me suffer.”
Kwabena Nkrumah, when contacted to comment on the wild allegations leveled against him, stated that he was not ready to engage in verbal war with Tony Nyame, adding that he is not bothered about the development.

MP accused of bankrupting Zabzugu Rural Bank
“We have taken evey step to take the money....we have tried all to get the money back” Board Chairman of the bank Alhaji Baba Munkaila said.

Dr. Omane Boamah gives updates on alleged plot to rig Talensi By-election
It was alleged by the communications minister few days before the by-election on July 7, 2015 that some members of the opposition New Patriotic Party had plots to rig the election by spoiling some ballot papers in strong holds of the National Democratic Congress with cream. This came to light when a message was purportedly sent wrongly to the phone of the upper east regional minister Hon. James Zuugah Tiiga and followed by a call from the sender. The communication minister in an interview on Asempa fm promised to get details of the caller from the National Communications Authority by Friday July 10, 2015 to aid in investigating the matter since it has become an issue of national security.
In what appears to be incessant calls on Dr. Omane Boamah by many especially on social media including senior journalist at Joy fm Manasseh Azure Awuni for the minister to disclose details and of the caller and findings of the investigations, the communication minister insists the matter is under investigations.
