NDC IS TOO SURE; Of First Round Victory In this Year's Election.

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) appears too sure of a first round 

victory in the 2016 presidential election and its communicators exude that confidence.

Speaking on "Peace FM" Kokrokoo morning show, Mr Ametor Quame communicator of the party boldly predicted that the NPP will have its worse electoral performance this year.

             

He said the development of national infrastructure, the expansion of access to education, portable water and housing would easily do the trick for the NDC.

Ametor also spoke eloquently about the humility of President Mahama and his willingness to listen to his opponents.

Very well informed sources have predicted a 52 per cent victory for President Mahama.

A survey conducted for the NDC by a professional group which has been seen by The Insight firmly confirms the prediction of 52 per cent as at mid-October.

The problem with the prediction is that at the time of the survey more than 10 per cent of the electorate were still undecided.

The margin of error is put at 3 per cent

Interestingly, the communicators the New Patriotic Party (NPP) are also confident of victory.

Sammy Awuku, the National Youth Organiser of the NPP says that he would be shocked if President Mahama wins the election.

He says that the hardship being endured by the people of Ghana is the surest guarantee of defeat for President Mahama and the NDC.

Professor Edmund Delle National Chairman and leader of the Convention Peoples Party (CPPO has also claimed that his party will be victorious in the presidential election of 2016.

He said "On January 7, we will all be at the inauguration of Ivor Greenstreet as the President of Ghana and that will mark the beginning of our effort to restore hope to all Ghanaians".

THE AGONY

Mentally ill people have had to endure some very severe agony as a direct result of the ignorance of society.

Some of them have actually been kept in so-called spiritual homes for years chained to trees and receiving daily doses of brutal beatings.

Even those who have gone through proper psychiatric treatment and have returned to their families are heavily discriminated against.

By far the most agonizing treatment mentally ill people get is the result of the claim that they are manifestations of evil spirits.

The Insight believes that the time has come to remove the stigma attached to mental ailment and to help or mentally ill people re-adjust in society.

This can be done if we will all rise above useless superstition and look at the science of mental health.
