THE
TWO MAIN PARTISAN POLITICS IN GHANA
There are two main partisan politics in 62-year
old Ghana, not three
They are not just politics clothed with mere
socialist, capitalist or democratic philosophies
There are two main partisan politics in Ghana,
not four; yes, not five
They are not just the politics of Nkrumah,
Danquah, Busia, Limann nor Rawlings.
There are two main partisan politics in modern
Ghana, not one
They are not just the politics of CPP,
NDC, NDP, PPP or NPP
There are two main partisan politics in Ghana,
not six
Yes, they are not just about Kufuor,
Mills, Mahama or Nana.
The two main partisan politics in modern Ghana
are twins
They are identical and uterine siblings
yet they are of different fathers
They are always active, current, visible
and alive!
Very much alive in the valleys and on the
mountains in Ghana.
Truly there are two main partisan politics
in today’s Ghana
They are not just politics of a political party
in power or in opposition
There are two main partisan politics in Ghana,
not just three; not four; not five
They are not politics of real nationalism,
patriotism, democracy or good governance.
The two main partisan politics in Ghana
are politics of deceit and pretence on one hand
And politics of greed and wickedness on
the other hand – they are two, not one; not four!
These two main partisan politics continue
to bleed corruption, division, insecurity, lawlessness and needless hardship in
the country
The power to change these unfortunate partisan
politics resides in Ghanaians most of whom remain mere observers, mere complainers
and are even complicit in the big mess.
