President John Mahama has asked Ghanaians not to risk voting a divided New Patriotic Party (NPP) presided over by a dictator into office.
Addressing party supporters at Bimbilla in the Northern Region during a campaign tour, the president said NPP flagbearer Nana Akufo-Addo has failed to unite his party and should therefore not be voted for in the December elections.
The “NPP is not ready for power; it will be a very dangerous thing to hand over power to a party that is not ready,” he told the cheering crowd.
The president was playing on disciplinary action taken by the National Executive Committee (NEC) the NPP which upheld recommendations of the party’s disciplinary committee to suspend three national officers for stated misbehavior.

Two of the suspended officials – Paul Afoko and Sammy Crabbe – National Chairman and 2nd Vice-Chairman respectively, unsuccessfully challenged their suspensions in court.
In both cases, the Human Rights Division of the High Court held that the pro…

North Korea has fired a submarine-launched ballistic missile off its east coast, according to South Korea's military, the latest in a string of missile launches by Pyongyang in defiance of UN Security Council resolutions.
The missile was test-fired at around 530am (08:30 GMT) on Wednesday near the coastal city of Sinpo, where satellite imagery shows a submarine base is located, an official at South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said.

Yoshihide Suga, Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary, said the projectile reached Japan's air defence identification zone (ADIZ) - an area of control designated by countries to help maintain air security.
The launch comes two days after South Korea and the US began annual military exercises that North Korea condemned as a preparation for invasion, and has threatened retaliation.
China's Xinhua news agency said the launch could be seen as a response to the drills, calling the exercises "a dangerous game."
North Korea has becom…

President John Mahama has commended former President John Agyekum Kufuor for his comment that four years is not enough for presidents to achieve their target.

Addressing voters as part of his campaign tour of the Northern Region, President Mahama said four years is simply not enough for any government to achieve their campaign promises.

Speaking in Twi language, he made a passionate appeal to voters in Kpandai, Bimbilla and Wulensi in the Northern Region to renew his mandate for four more years.

He has argued that in view of the global race for development, a Ghanaian president needs time to implement his programmes and also plan the economy.
President Mahama said four years is simply not enough for a president to finish all the work at transforming the nation, so the Constitution recommends four more years after the expiration of the first term. He said then the president steps down after the second term for another person to take over.

'Former President Kufour is a sen…

The 2016 presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party, Nana Akufo-Addo has described the outgoing Moderator of the Presby Church Professor Emmanuel Martey as a “remarkable man who has given contemporary meaning to the concept of a true Presbyterian: fearless, hardworking and passionate about the pursuit of justice.”

Describing the entire period in office of reverend Martey as “a most refreshing time,” Nana Akufo-Addo noted that “there has certainly not been one boring moment during his tenure as Moderator, as he has rendered service to the Church, to Ghana and to mankind.”
According to him, “we, who are politicians, might not always have been comfortable with some of his pronouncements (and as the Moderator knows, I have firsthand experience of that!); but I suspect Professor Martey would not consider it his duty to put any politician in a comfort zone.”

He continued, “It is not his style, and it is fair to say he has kept his eyes firmly on his primary goal of protect…
