Democratic Orgasm through Political Impotence:


I don’t dispute the fact that NDC has touched some of the numbers in the just ended Ghanaian elections – of course, they did. No lie about that. But they also did in the past and yet ex president Kuffour of the NPP snatched victory from them – it just goes to show that the voice of the people will always be reflected at its rightfully appointed time.

The NPP is intentionally clothing itself with disgrace by the post election actions of violence it wants to engage in...... they are now making it obvious (even if it wasn’t the case) that the people's needs and the people's voice was never the agenda and was never going to be embraced.

We as an entire nation put our faith in the independence and ability of the EC. No one challenged its mandate, its make-up, its bias, its constitution before the elections. In that regard let’s respect the FAITH that WE as a people put in it. If we approved them to do the job and we now turn around to say they didn’t do a good job, are we not insulting our own intelligence by which WE chose them in the first place? Com’on now – Ghanaians are a lot more discerning than that. IF the NPP had been declared winner, they would have expected the NDC to show the same political maturity in gracefully accepting defeat. You cant sit at the head of the table if you are not willing to be the one who says the Grace. And you cant say grace if you cant exhibit it.

Lets stop behaving like a child who dropped his toffee in the sand because he was throwing it at someone, and is now throwing a tantrum at his mum.


I guess there’s only one way to describe the tensions in Ghana. Democracy has won, but politics still has a long way to go. Or better still:

Democratic orgasm has been reached with political impotence.
