Ghana Decides: Two Voters Shot Dead In Election Violence

At least two people have been shot dead at the Church of Christ polling station at Kasoa in the Awutu Senya East constituency of the Central Region of Ghana in the ongoing general elections.

It was learnt that gunshots boomed from a black Toyota Land Cruiser.

The targets of the shooters were reportedly driving in a Kia saloon car.


According to GhanaWeb, the occupants of the two vehicles have yet to be identified.

However, the injured victims have been rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment.

After the shooting incident, more police and military personnel were deployed to beef up security in the area.

A similar shooting incident happened in the constituency during the voter registration exercise a few months ago.

Meanwhile, several polls have predicted a one-touch victory for the New Patriotic Party and its candidate, President Nana Akufo-Addo.

According to The Chronicle, these polls, some of which the most considerable opposition National Democratic Congress has described as not credible, come at a time when campaigns have intensified for both sides of the political divide.

The NDC has been known for preaching a comeback on the fact that they have better policies than the ruling NPP.

The party, however, wants Ghanaians to vote for them to roll out a GH¢10 billion big push programme to support small and startup businesses to grow. They also are campaigning for the introduction of “Operation Sting to Fight Corruption.”

The NDC has also promised to legalise the commercial aspect of motorcycle operations, popularly known as okada, even though they banned it by the last government. They say that in consultation with the Muslim community, mortuaries would be built where necessary.

The party has also said it will review the famous free Senior High School policy, and also take steps to end the double-track system.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
