It has actually been seized and surprisingly, on the laptop is another video, really the same video…”</p><p><br /></p><p>“This is the most dastardly, the most ridiculous [attempt] to have happened in the fourth republic and it is painful that it is happening not in 1992, not in 1996, not in the year 2000 [but] twenty years after the year 2000,” Adom-Otchere averred.</p><p><br /></p> <p>“Technology has come, Facebook, editing machines, everything, people can just look at the video and determine it’s been edited.

While noting that the government has braced itself for more fabricated and concocted information with a few days to the elections, Mr Oppong Nkrumah said the encounter captured on tape ensued at a time Akufo-Addo was not yet president.</p><p><br /></p><p>“Whilst we are not surprised by the new low by the opposition candidate and his party, we remind Ghanaians that they should expect more of such falsehoods and fabrications in the days leading up to the election," he said in a statement.</p><p><br /></p><p>“It has become clear that candidate Mahama’s failed campaign now sees fake news and fabrications, as well as an amendment of their earlier promises as the only hope to salvage what is going to be another decisive victory for President Akufo-Addo and the New Patriotic Party.</p><p><br /></p><p>“For the avoidance of doubt, President Akufo-Addo has never been involved in any untoward conduct, let alone take a bribe.

Ghana Election 2020: A battle of records will decide if NPP or NDC? - ‘Nana Addo, Toaso’ (continue) and ‘JM, Sanbra’ (come back)

After all, since 1992, every incumbent party has enjoyed no less than two terms, and no fresh opposition candidate has ever won the presidency in a first attempt.<br /> <br />  But, I am sure the general thinking in the party, quite understandably, is that there is always a first time, that JM is their best shot for now, and that should they get to that bridge in 2024, they will cross it.<br /> <br />  The fact that constitutionally, he would only be eligible to serve one term if he wins the 2020 election, seemed to be far away from the minds of the over 213,000 delegates who donated their thumbprints to him last Saturday. <br /> <h3> <b>Election 2020</b></h3> I believe Election 2020 promises to be an exciting campaign, akin to a ‘Thriller in Manilla’ or ‘Rumble in the Jungle’ affair, to borrow from the screaming media headlines of the frenzied boxing heyday of Mohammed Ali, Joe Frazer, George Foreman et al.<br /> <br />  We will, for the first time in our electoral history, be witnessing a presidential election battle between a former and an incumbent president. It couldn’t get juicier than this. The former president is not amused over the fact that he lost his job.<br /> <br /> Now he wants it back. And I do not blame him for wanting to be our first Comeback President. After all, he holds the unenviable record of being the first incumbent President in this country to lose a re-election bid, and by such an embarrassingly huge margin.<br /> <br />  Among others, he must want to wipe that ugly blot off his otherwise star-studded political CV which saw him rise from MP through to Deputy Minister, Minister, Vice President and then finally President. And so, he will go into the election with all that he can muster. <br /> <h3> <b>Battle of records</b></h3> Indeed, I believe the Election 2020 campaign has just begun-that is, if it did not begin on January 7, 2017 right after the inauguration of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo. Cynics argue that this country is in a perpetual campaign mode because every decision or step by government and opposition is directed at the next general election.<br /> <br />  I am excited about the 2020 campaign for the simple reason that neither candidate can make lofty promises to us without a reference point-that reference point being their own four-year records as President of this country.<br /> <br />  On the economy, education, health, employment, security and a host of other indicators, we, the citizens, must demand of them what they did during their four-year tenure.<br /> <br />  That would help us to decide between ‘Nana Addo, Toaso’ (continue) and ‘JM, Sanbra’ (come back). Simple. <b>Dirty politics?</b> Of course, there will be some for whom an issue-based campaign is an anathema.<br /> <br />  They would prefer to wallow in the cesspit of dirty, ugly ethnocentric politics and divisiveness, pitching one ethnic group against the other. Others would find refuge in distributing money and all manner of cheap items in a squalid to clinch the election.<br /> <br />  It will be naïve to pretend that this will not occur, or that it will not make some impact on the electoral outcome.<br /> <br />  But we can, and must, rise above ‘Moneycracy’ and ‘Ethnocracy’.<br /> <br />  We have carried alcohol, and we have carried water, as our elders put it. We must strive to be more discerning.<br /> <br />  The 2020 clash must be of ideas and records, not of ethnicity or money. Or come to think of it, of macho men, boots, guns or slaps. We have a nation to build.  <br /> <br />  <strong>Source: <a href="http://ghanasky.com/" rel="dofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">GhanaSky.com - Columnist Rodney's Potpourri</a> </strong>
