EC transfer of votes: Calm returns to Central Gonja

Calm has returned to the Central Gonja District of the Northern Region, where two vigilante groups of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC), clashed on Thursday September 22, over the ongoing voters’ transfer exercise. The NPP’s attempt to stop occupants of two mini buses suspected to be aliens imported from Damongo by the NDC, caused the clash, the district electoral Officer, Gariba Djampana-Jackob told Citi News. He said the exercise was halted with the EC offices closed down to avoid a bloodbath. Gariba Djampana-Jackob narrated that, security reinforcement at the EC’s premises scared the rioters. He explained that, there is apathy in the transfer exercise for which reason the two major political parties are busing people to the district EC office. He admonished the leadership of the political parties to renew their trust and collaborate with the EC to conduct free, fair and transparent elections on December 7. Gariba Djampana-Jacob bemoaned the early warning signals of political violence ahead of the December 7 polls and called for ceasefire. “Violence will not solve electoral violence and I entreat leaders of political parties in this area to stop inflaming passions.” The Yapei-Kusawgu constituency in Gonjaland has over 50,000 voter population and 142 polling stations. Deputy Minister for Power, John Jinapor, a first timer, is in the 2016 parliamentary race with the NPP’s fourth time parliamentary candidate, and a former District Chief Executive for Central Gonja, Yakubu Zakariah. - See more at: http://citifmonline.com/2016/09/24/ec-transfer-of-votes-calm-returns-to-central-gonja/#sthash.6jX0tya5.dpuf

Amissah-Arthur escapes accident as saloon car crashes his convoy; 4 injured

Ghana’s vice president, Paa Kwesi Amissah-Arthur, has narrowly escaped an accident, which has left four persons, including journalists and presidential bodyguards injured. A saloon car which failed to heed to the signal of the veep’s motorcade, crashed into one of the black SUV V8 vehicles causing it to summersault about four times before it rolled and landed upside down in a bush, TV3’s Komla Klutse reports The vehicle is the emergency car for the vice president, and is said to contain the guns and ammunitions of his security detail. It directly follows the one in which the veep sits. The accident happened at Gomoa Adams, near Nsakyire junction on the Winneba – Cape Coast highway. Two journalists from Radio Gold and the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation together with some security details of the vice president were in that car at the time of the accident, Komla reports. “About four injured but not so severe. They had cuts in the arm. Some are complaining about bodily pains. The driver was very tactful otherwise it would have been disastrous,” Komla who was part of the convoy reports. How it happened According to our correspondent, the veep was on his way to Dominase for the 20th anniversary of Nana Kwebu Ewusi, as well as to join the people for the celebration of the Akwambo Festival. He reports a pick-up that was heading towards Accra from Mankesim area, refused to heed to the signal of the police motorcade to stop and veered into the lane of the vice president’s convoy. According to Komla, the vice president’s vehicle managed to swerve the pick-up vehicle, noting that the unregistered Daewoo which had also defied the motorcade signal, crashed the second vehicle, which followed Mr Amissah-Arthur’s. The pick-up driver, according to our correspondent, did not stop. The vice president was quickly surrounded by his security detail and within seconds, was moved away, our correspondent reports. source; 3news.com

MICHAEL AFRANIE , KUMAWOOD ACTOR TO CONTEST AS MP 2016.

MICHAEL AFRANIE RUNS FOR MP AT AMANSIE WEST

Veteran Ghanaian actor, Michael Afranie who has been off our screens for quite some time now is now making headlines. The ace actor who has been known to dominate the Kumawood industry sometime back is now the talk of the media; but this time not as an actor but a politician. Yes!  a politician.

Michael will be seen on the parliamentary ballot paper of the people of Amansie West  constituency coming 7^th December, 2016. Mr. Afranie is aspiring to be the Member of Parliament for the people of Amansie West.

Surprisingly, he isn’t running on either the ticket of the two major political parties in the country nor is he running on the ticket of any minor party. The man is going independence! Could he be leaning on his fame to outtake an NPP dominated constituency? Well time could only tell.

His active participation in politics surprisingly, didn’t come as a surprise to us as it is just a reverb of popular actor and voiceover artist Kwame Djokoto  who is also running for MP.
