I can assume that most people have put the December 7 shock, or the Black Sunday story, behind them and are looking forward to the prospects of December 28. As to whether it would be another shocker or otherwise largely depends on what one does or fail to do. What one says or fail to say, as well as what one hears.
Arguably, the most essential commodity from now to December 28 is Time. It is, therefore, no wonder that the leadership of the two main political parties are moving swiftly to see to how to better their gains. In the camp of the NPP, some have started the blame-game which I can emphatically say is suicidal for them at this particular moment.
The parliamentary loses, though painful, should not derail the attention of the NPP, their supporters and sympathisers from winning the impending presidential run-off. It would serve Ghana a great deal if, at this time of our democratic dispensation, we have two parties, each, controlling the executive and the legislative steering the affairs of the country.
To achieve this, a lot of things need to be considered. The blame-game should stop forthwith. Complacency that led to voter apathy must also cease. The NPP supporters must accept that Nana Akufo-Addo did not get the required number of votes not because the NDC covered a lot of space than the NPP or that, they had the right message. I would not want to take anything away from the NDC. They are the second largest party in the country and as such command some respect. However, after stretching to their last limit, they could not win the presidential slot. The reason for their failure is not far-fetched. They could not contain the achievements of the NPP’S eight-year rule in relation to their 19 years (PNDC years inclusive). As a result, they could not help but to use unconventional campaign tactics to confound the electorates.
