It’s not time for a third force in Ghana’s politics – Lecturer

Political Science Lecturer at the University of Ghana, Dr. Asah-Asante, has indicated that 2024 is not a time for a third force in Ghana’s politics.

He indicates that Ghana is naturally a two-party system, explaining that this stems from the electoral system the country has.

Dr Asah-Asante is of the view that the two large political parties in the country will continue to dwarf the smaller political parties, indicating that it will take a longer time to build a third force.

“Every country, you check the other jurisdiction when you have two strong parties, that is a two-party system; you realize that other parties have been dwarfed. It will take a very long time for you to get a third force,” he said.

When asked if 2024 was the time for a third force to emerge strongly in Ghana’s elections, he said, “No it’s not. A third force is a function of proportional representation. When you have such a system, it produces results such as that, and you can find evidence in Germany, Israel, Belgium, and the rest of them”.

He continued, “Until you change the electoral system, I’m afraid these two parties will continue to reign supreme while other parties will continue to be eclipsed and then they will remain as dwarfs”.

Commenting on the movement for change by Alan Kyerematen, he indicated that “the best they can do is to get some significant number of votes, add to other parties to push the elections to a run-off”.

Most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by their Pastors – Papa Shee

Evangelist Papa Shee says most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by Pastors. According to him, most Pastors in Ghana currently are occults and with the way they are been celebrated by their followers, they initiate them into occult groups without their knowledge. He mentioned that Ghanaians lack knowledge and that has always been the reason why Pastors take advantage of them. Related Posts Quoting a Scripture from Matthew, Papa Shee mentioned that no one should refer to a man as his/her spiritual father because the word speaks against it.

Residents of Samreboi cry on gov’t to fix their roads

Residents of Samreboi are up in arms with the Government of Ghana over neglect of their roads. According to residents, It has become very worrying as their bad road network is affecting not only economic activities but also their social activities. Residents of the timber and Cocoa producing town in the Western Region of Ghana say they have been unfairly treated by several governments; the neglect they say they do not know what to attribute it to. A worrying feature of their roads they say is the fact that moving from Samreboi to neighbouring villages and towns become impossible especially during the rainy season hence bringing economic activities to a standstill. Residents say even though the year has been declared “Year of Roads” they are yet to see a kilometre of road being constructed.
