Politics of equality and track record: the media is responsible, not politicians

2020 elections is fast developing into an election of track record between the 2 leading political parties, National Democratic Congress and the ruling New Patriotic Party. Since the history of Ghana began in 1957 successive governments have come and contributed their own quota to nation building. But as done in every election, one would ask why vote for party X or Party Y. The answer remains very simple; campaign message and track record. An informed voter bases his/her franchise in one of either of the above mentioned and thereby choosing a party and a presidential candidate. For the first time in the history of Ghana, 2020 elections presents the most ideal case of solid track record and campaign message as a sitting president- HE Nana Addo Dankwah Akuffo Addo is being contested by a former president- HE John Dramani Mahamma. President JDM was president from 2012-2016 and likewise president NADAA 2016-2020. Accordingly, these are the thematic areas to decide the elections 1. What did you do during your 4 years 2. How many people felt what you did 3. Giving all growth indices- justify what you did to Ghana when you were given the opportunity Furthermore, Ghanaians are simply tired of politicians throwing dust into their eyes. The media being the 4th estate realm of governance, should make this analysis devoid of a political spectacle and account to Ghanaians on the real true score and indices of both governments to help the average individual make an informed decision.
