well it is time for elections in ghana and one will not believe what is happening.just recently the ex-president mr rawlings beat up the district chief executive( DCE) of the bongo district in ghana.the DCE's car was destroyed by supporterS who followed the ex-president.THIS I THINK WAS BECAUSE THE DCE belonged to the npp party in ghana.we are praying for peace in this country as the election draws nearer.

election in ghana has been peaceful dispites the many talks of the things political parties say and do.we will go to the polls in nov/dec to elect our president ,we will either maintain presz kufour or change him this basicaly depends on the people of ghana.all the parties submitted their nomination to the electoral commission on monday.it is now time for the campaigns to begin,people of ghana to their own means have appealed to parties to make their campaigns void of insults and discuss issues that will bring peace.all the religions in the country are praying to God for a peace election.FORM MY DISCUSSION WITH people as ajournalist,some people think this yeary's election will be tough whiles others are of the view that it will go smoothly.
the parties are now arguing on who should use a particular solang.i think that the solang does not matter to the people who will vote, what matters to them is that the country has a peacefully election.
