Ghanaians will exercise their voting rights on December 7th to elect a President and Members of Parliament for the next four years.
Don’t vote like someone without a future. As a voter, this right to be part of national decision making must be exercised with the future in mind.

On December 7th our votes will determine the direction where this beautiful nation called Ghana will head towards.
Voting on the wrong basis, given the authority to rule to the wrong person would me, choosing to stagnate, derail progress and frustrate the future of the citizenry.
Democracy is beautiful, the majority may not always be right but it is better than war, conflict, and military takeovers. Democracy is not always right unless the collective decision by the majority provides a far better alternative based on the objective judgment of the right-thinking members of society and the successes achieved.
Ghana needs peace, in one piece and not in pieces if any of our aspirations would be realized.
Don’t vote like someone without a future, Electoral violence has the tendency to unmake our progress and stagnate development, frustrate opportunities, and shut dreams of our youth, women, and children.
Ghanaians have a role to play to ensure Ghana comes out of the December elections the winner, and not the parochial interest and wishes of persons who think about themselves and not the total good of the nation and its people.
Do not be deceived, each Presidential and Parliamentary candidate has what it takes to lead this nation in their various capacities if voted for. But Ghanaians must choose who can help the nation realize its competitive advantage for each constituency and the country at large.
Equally factual is the fact that none of them is a saint, they are all fallible beings yet want to help us as a people to realize our national goals.
As we go into the elections, your interest and decision to vote for one candidate or the other should hinge on what they can do and have done, their manifestos and programmes and not their personalities and human inefficiencies.
Do not let their political affiliations compromise your choices. Don’t let a Ghs50, Ghs100, or a Ghs200 influence or vote-buying tricks prevent you from making a well thought of decision for mother Ghana.
If we do, we will affect our lives, others, and the entire country may continue to go the wrong way as it has been in many instances to date.
Let us make objective comparisons between candidates and make a good choice not based on the tips we are getting in the election season. Remember, such gifts are for the moment.
Don’t vote like someone without a future, Don’t act like someone without a future, Don’t engage in any form of electoral violence like someone without a future. Ghana is where she is today because of the choices of the past. Vote wisely, vote objectively, vote truth to power, make the right choice, and let Ghana remain one piece, in peace and not in pieces.
