Could President Akufo-Addo Be Re-Elected By A Coalition Of Thoroughly-Fed-Up Ghanaians?

Has Ghanaian society undergone dramatic sea-change,  resulting from deep public  anger, and loss of patience, by ordinary  people,  with a hard-of-hearing political class - many of the members of which daily demonstrate (by deed and word) that they are clearly prepared  to push Mother Ghana over the precipice, at the next presidential and parliamentary  elections: if that is what will enable them either hold on to power, or win power?

And, perchance, is that sea-change fueled  by interactions on various  social media platforms, amongst Ghanaians, across the globe? Furthermore, does that online political engagement  pose an existential threat to the two major political parties in this country, the  governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), and the main opposition party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC)?

The millions who belong to churches  under the Ghana Pentecostal  and Charismatic Council (GPCC) are real human beings, are they not? And are they not all determined to rid their country of the private militias that pose such a threat to our constitutionally guaranteed rights? Ditto the political parties that sponsor and protect them? Who born dog?

Clearly, the national mood today, is that despite being thoroughly fed up with the Kweku-Ananse politics-of-equalisation (championed  by the constituent parts of the NPP/NDC duopoly), most Ghanaians are still prepared to keep faith with President Akufo-Addo  in the 2020 presidential election  - because  in him, they find  the selflessness, seriousness of purpose,  strength  of character and self-discipline, which  they instinctively feel are qualities  needed by any Ghanaian leader, who will be able to successfuly transform our African-society-in-transition, into one that is equitable and  prosperous.

The question that then arises is: Why has there been such deafening  silence from Ghana's mainstream media - about such a consequential societal development: that could enable an  independent  coalition of apolitical and nationalistic individuals, civil society organisations, religious bodies, etc.  etc., to be formed to find suitable individuals to  contest the NPP/NDC,  at the parliamentary level, and support President Akufo-Addo,  in the November 2020  presidential election?

By not highlighting the sea-change that has occured, Ghana's   mainstream media has failed Mother Ghana terribly. Is the sense of outrage felt by the vast majority of ordinary people, across the nation, not palpable? Ebeeii.

And does that anger not arise because of the existence today,  of a political climate that enables thuggish-myrmidons,  remote-controlled by greedy and powerful politicians from the shadows, to operate as if they were above all the laws on our Statute Books?  Haaba.

For the information of  media professionals in Ghana,  the mood in Ghana has actually  changed: It really  isn't beyond the realms of possibility that the NPP/NDC duopoly, will end up becoming irrelevant in the grand scheme of things,  in Akufo-Addo's Ghana.

That is why  President Akufo-Addo could be re-elected  by a coalition of  thoroughly-fed-up Ghanaians - who now see political parties for what they really are: super-dangerous criminal organisations,  which are tailor-made legal vehicles for use by a greedy and powerfull few:  who seek to dominate our country, in order to enrich themselves, at society's expense. We rest our case.
