A political science lecturer at the University of Ghana, Dr. Isaac Owusu Mensah says vice president Paa Kwesi Amissah-Arthur should cease creating political tension in the country and rather preach peace ahead of the 2016 general elections.
The vice president addressing party supporters in the Asawaase constituency in the Ashanti region suggested some opponents of the National Democratic Congress are plotting to rig this year’s presidential and parliamentary elections on December 7.
In a statement that has generated a lot of controversy, the vice president urged the NDC supporters and sympathizers to be extra vigilant on the day of the elections in order to safeguard the interest of the party.
Speaking to 3FM, Dr. Owusu Mensah said if the vice president has any hint of anyone planning to rig the elections, he should make it public.
“In as much as he is an NDC, he is first the vice president of Ghana and I think that we have all been preaching about peace and all the political leaders especially his excellency the president, the vice and the third in command as far as the state apparatus is concerned are supposed to preach the message of peace”.
According to Dr. Mensah, the vice president’s comments simply means there will be a lot of tension leading to the polls which he deems will be a worry and a very serious concern to all Ghanaians.
“I know issues are raised on political platforms but sensitive issues like rigging the election is very dangerous and it also gives the impression that there is something that the vice president knows that we Ghanaians do not know so it’s important that he puts it in the public domain so the security services can take a look at it”.

The Veep's statement tells us that the NDC has lost the election and that they are finding excuse.
When Nana Addo said it's only heaven that we violent free election where were you then? We know you are NPP man stop hidden behind politic lectures and do your politics so we can tackle well.
WHAT A ***barred word*** 'WARNING' FROM NPP ACADEMIC. THE VICE PRESIDENT IS ASKING HIS PEOPLE TO BE VIGILANT AND YOU SAID WHAT? ON HOW MANY OCCASSION HAS THE NPP CALLED ON ITS MEMBERS TO POLICE THE BALLOT EVEN WITH THEIR LIVES. THESE SO-CALLED DOCTORS (ESPECIALLY THOSE COMING FROM THE ASHANTI REGION DR AMOAKO BAAH, DR OWUSU MENSAH, ECT) WHO VIRTUALLY BOUGHT THEIR FAKE CERTIFICATE SHOULD RATHER BUY ONE FOR AKUFO-ADDO WHO HAS NONE IN LAW BUT HOLDS HIMSELF AS A LAWYER. TWEAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
This Amissah Atta is goofing seriously, that's why he was chased out of the Eastern region. He should rather concentrate of facing Bawumia. Its getting too long for his reply to the concerns raised by Bawumia. He is blocked_headed and a liability to the presidency. He says Nana is short?. a wise man will never called a human being created by God ***barred word*** or any negative adjective. so he the "chimpanzee" thinks he is good looking and that gave him the opportunity to be vice. Knowledge and wisdom is not bestowed on good looks but a gift from God to whom it befits.
JONATHAN LAGOS IS ***barred word***. HE HAS COTTON WOOL IN HIS HEAD INSTEAD OF GRAY MATTER. FOLLOW UP HIS POSTINGS AND YOU WILL REALISE THAT HE IS TO BE PITIED BECAUSE OF HIS MENTAL STATE. HE SHOULD STOP POSITIONING HIMSELF AS NDC. WE NDC MEMBERS ARE NOT AS STHCUPIID AS THIS JONATHAN.
Are you part of us,I mean a Ghanaian?. You talk trash too much man,wise up.
SO WHO DECORATED THIS THIS WITH THE TITLE DOCTOR? NO WONDER A THIRD CLASS OF EVERYTHING WITHOUT ANY TRACK RECORD GO BY THAT TITLE. DID VEEP MENTION ANY POLITICAL PARTY'S NAME? THIS ADMONISHING SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO HIS FLAG BEARER WHO SPEAKS WITHOUT THINKING OF THE CONSEQUENCY. WHEN HE COMMITS ADULTERY HE DOESN'T THINK OF THE CONSEQUENCIE, WHEN HE TAKES ALCOHOL HE DOESN'T THINK OF THE CONSEQUENCIES. FOR HIM LET'S EAT, DRINK AND 4CK. FOR TOMORROW, ALL DID BE DIE. THE BIBLE SAYS FOR SUCH PEOPLE BE CAREFUL OF THEM. THEY ARE BAAAAAAAAD COMAPNY. SO DOC,,,,, PER THE BIBLE, WE KNOW WHO THE BAD COMPANY IS AND HAS ALREADY ADVISED OURSELVES.
