Good move by an extraordinary intelligent women.. Im all for such an important innovation in our electoral system..
Nana this is needless exercise.
This young and beautiful lady is set to do things right, hence, let us all encourage and support her wholeheartedly without any biased, that partisan ***barred word***. Bearing in mind that, there is only one Ghana who is going to benefit at the end of the day. Genuine voting is very critical in the democratic dispensation, while, that is the most efficient way for the electorates to express their dissensions, and to chose whom should be entrusted with the mandate to represent their interest. A good democrat rather desires or aspires to be genuinely entrusted with the power of the people to work and decide for their common good and interest. Then, having the backing of the citizenry and deriding your powers from the same guarantees and encourages good Leadership. Therefore, NDC should better forget about the vote rigging and firmly and repentantly say,' gone are the days we used to rig elections'.
