ACCRA (REUTERS) - GHANA President Nana Akufo-Addo faces a hung parliament after the opposition clinched the last undeclared seat on Friday, potentially complicating his ability to implement economic measures..

Akufo-Addo's New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) each won 137 seats, which represents a loss of dozens of NPP seats. One constituency was won by an independent candidate.

Akufo-Addo won a second four-year term in the Dec. 7 vote, narrowly defeating the NDC's presidential candidate, former president John Mahama. Mahama has said he will contest the results, which he called "fraudulent".

Akufo-Addo has promised to implement a $17 billion programme to boost growth in West Africa's second-largest economy. The pandemic has hit the price of oil and cocoa exports, resulting in the first quarterly contractions in nearly 40 years.

Kwesi Jonah, a research fellow at the Institute for Democratic Governance, said he expected bipartisan cooperation on most of the president's agenda but that the hung parliament could slow down some controversial items.

"Parliament tries to build consensus on about 90% of issues. The remaining 10% is what is going to be difficult," he said.

The NDC still hopes it can eke out a majority. Elvis Afriyie Ankrah, its director of elections, said on Friday that its own tallies showed it with at least 139 seats and that it was contesting several results.

The election was tainted by violence that killed at least five people, a rarity in a country that has a reputation as one of West Africa's most stable democracies.

Economy that is being enjoyed by a few of her population. Ghana is better organised . An organised society gives room for proper planning which in turn aids development.

not as you think bro. If you can mention one Ghanian business billionair in any business field, I will give you 50 Nigerians that are multi billionaires in different fields way ahead of Ghanaians

Mention any field they are doing better than Nigerians. Tech, hospitality, commerce and industry, financial sector, etc ,name it.

Nigeria is far ahead of them.

In terms of governance,yes, they have better representation and accountability that our leaders here. That is the area I give it to them.

Ghana is not in trouble. Face your front and learn to mind your business! Is nigeria doing better?

Cubana04:
Ghana in trouble

You want to know how Ghana is better than Nigerua? I will give you a few. just a few.

Ghana’s inflationary level is lower than Nigeria
Ghana attracts more FDI than Nigeria
Ghana’s life expectancy is better than nigeria
80% of Ghanaians have access to electricity, compared with less than 50% of Nigerians
Ghanaians enjoy regular power, can you say the same for Nigerians?
Unemployment figures in Nigeria are staggering, compared with Ghana
Ghana has free secondary school education policy. Ghana even provides free food, uniforms, books etc to its school-going children. Compare that with Nigeria, where 15 million children are out of school as we speak. These are future boko haram, kidnappers, robbers etc
More than 90% of Nigerians survive on less than one dollar a day, compared with less than 25% of Ghanaians.
Nigeria’s economy is in recession at the moment, while Ghana’s economy is still growing

If you have verifiable information that says Nigeria is better than Ghana, bring it so we can debate it. Present your facts and figures

You guys keep talking about nigeria having a bigger economy than Ghana. I guess you have also forgotten that Nigeria has a population of 300 million, compared with Ghana’s 30 million?

Given the level of corruption in Nigeria, having the largest, or larger, economy on paper is meaningless in a country like nigeria, simply because most of the economy is in the pockets of a few people, leaving the overwhelming majority of Nigerians desperately poor.

So, all this talk about the size of Nigeria’s economy is just crap! Are Nigerians feeling the so-called big economy? People should talk with sense.

when nigeria has surpassed india in percentage of poor pple
too much money in the hands of few, more importation than exportation, ill equipped farming activities, etc

The best chemistry text book for senior secondary belongs to Ghanaian. Most of their campuses are well maintained unlike ours, education is better funded than what we have here, with a sound education you can hope for a better future. As I has been on strike since early this year. We need to organise our society, this cut and nail we are doing is not working.

Go through that link, maybe that will put all your argument to rest .

Nigeria is not the mate of Ghana. If you tell me that Ghana growth rate as of 2020 is higher than Nigeria ,well I won't argue that. But in totality,nigeria is far ahead.

You are talking of strike, I wrote in my previous post, that what Nigeria lacks compare to Ghana ghana is good and accountable representation.

You are talking of population, lol. Economy isn't determined by population. All western country aren't as half as populated as some African countries.

How many millionaires or billionairs do you have in Ghana compared to Nigeria? That is how to determine the economic atmosphere of a demograph...

Nigeria constitution doesn't have anything like independent candidate

Can any other party win election in Nigeria aside APC and PDP?yes, many .

Apga won Anambra, sdp candidate in many states, YPP won Anambra senatorial seat in person of Ifeanyi Uba. Accord party in many states won elections. There is no election in Nigeria where you don't see candidates of other parties aside PDP and APC winning elections...

So because just one candidate that is not of popular parties won election in Ghana,that is why you suddenly think Ghana is better than Nigeria. What we have been seen In Nigeria in every election.

You people's problem is that you tend to think nigeria is really that bad in everything. We have seen incumbents losing election in Nigeria. So what is your point?

the candidacy doesn't deepen democracy, it is the electoral process that is untampered to reflect the will of the electorates that deepens democracy.

It doesn't cost anything to join a political party and pick their ticket to contest.

Pure and arrant crap!

Do you know what is called UN Human Development Index? Go and look for it and see how nigeria compares with Ghana.

You keep talking Nigeria is better nigeria is better, yet you can’t provide any useful basis to compare. How is nigeria better than Ghana? Perhaps in terms of poverty, unemployment, violence, corruption, pr0stitution, maternal and infant mortality etc etc. Nigeria is first in everything bad, and last in everything good.

I am talking of strike? Which strike? Where did I mention strike in my post? You sound confused, very confused

And who told yiu the number of millionaires in a country determines the economic atmosphere of a country? Where did you get that crap from? How come your millionaires and billionaires could not stop your economy from going into recession? Despite having millionaires and billionaires, Nigeria today is the headquarters of world poverty and you are typing nonsense chai

It is obvious you are nothing but a scaliwag,and a dumbass. You couldn't engage the argument with contradictory facts to buttress your point, rather you resorted to abuses and insults. It shows how uneducated,and poorly trained you are.

You pointed out UN human development index out of tens of indices staring at your stinky face. Do you measure a nation's development by just UN development index? Ewu!

Human development index only tells you the rate at which you are catching up on your recent development ,and doesn't in any way means that you are more developed than another country with slower pace at that moment.

As for recession you are salivating about, UK, Us, And other developed countries hit by covid-19 are in recession right now, including India and Nigeria.

Does that mean that Ghana is better than those countries?

You are a stark illiterate who doesn't understand economic indices, Ozuo!

How do you rate a rich and poor nation? It is by the number of rich people in that nation . when they say a nation is rich, it means that the number of rich people are more than the number of the poor ones. Same goes for the poor nations. If Nigeria has more millionaires and billionairs than Ghana, what that simply means is that Nigeria is better than Ghana.

You can choose to hate all you can,but can't erase the indices of fact staring at you. Ghana pays respect to Nigeria as s big brother, but idiots and fools like you who know nothing about national economy keep fooling yourselves with deceit.

I didn't make you poor, please don't transfer your aggression on me. I am a Nigerian, and doing well,if you're poor ,it is not my fault.

pure and unadulterated nonsense!

Nigeria has millionaires and billionaires, and yet nigerians are getting poorer and poorer?
what the heck is in this edi0t's head? pieces of paper or dirty rags?

Today, nigeria is the headquarters of world poeverty undisputed champions of world poverty foolish igbo goat talking like a fool of what use is a country of 100 billionaiires and millionaires and 300 million poor people? stvpid goat talking from his anus. And how is it Ghana's fault that nigeria today is a certified shambolic shiithole?

95% of nigerians survive on less than $2 a day
people are being kidnapped in nigeria for a ransom of a bottle of coke and gala
how many nigerians are gainfully employed?
how many hours of electricity do you get daily in that shiithole?
what is life expectancy in nigeria?
what is FDI inflows in nigeria?


20 Million More Nigerians To Become Poor In 2022
https://www.africanexaminer.com/20-million-more-nigerians-to-become-poor-in-2022/

(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – The World Bank has projected that the number of poor people in Nigeria will increase by 20 million by 2022.
According to the bank’s Nigeria Development Update (NDU), an average Nigerian may experience setback due to setbacks of decades of economic growth and Nigeria could enter its deepest recession since the 1980s.
Shubham Chaudhuri, the bank’s country director for Nigeria, said: “Nigeria is at a critical historical juncture, with a choice to make. Nigeria can choose to break decisively from business-as-usual, and rise to its considerable potential by sustaining the bold reforms that have been taken thus far and going even further and with an even greater sense of urgency to promote faster and more inclusive economic growth.”
According to the figures from the 2019 poverty and inequality in Nigeria report by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) which indicated that 40 percent of the total population, or almost 83 million Nigerians, are living below the poverty line of N137,430 per year.
The World Bank in its update cautioned that the economy may shrink up to 4 percent in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic and the reduction in the price of oil stress
sing that food insecurity has increased while “economic precarity is on the rise because unemployed workers have migrated to the low-productivity agricultural sector”

Air head, Ghana has enjoyed a growing economy of 6.9% annually for the last ten years or so, which has now ground to a halt, with this year's GDP growth projected to be 0.9%.

That spells TROUBLE for your country. You cannot boast or brag your way out of it.

Don't use your brain. Be talking about past growth while economic collapse stares you in the face.

And no, the overwhelming majority of Nigerians are not ''desperately poor'' except in your dumb little air head.
