By Lawrence Odoom Dr. James Kofi Annan, the National Democratic Congress 2020 and 2024 Parliamentary Candidate for Effutu Constituency, has fully underwritten the cost of nomination forms and four-year membership dues for all 1,350 NDC branch executives across the Effutu constituency.

Per the party’s guidelines, each branch executive was statutorily required to pay GHC20 as a nomination fee and GHC24 to cover four years of membership dues , an aggregate…

By Alexander Bediako For decades, Ghana has stood out as a beacon of stability in West Africa, praised for its democratic resilience, relative peace, and institutional continuity. Surrounded increasingly by instability, Ghana is often described as an “island of peace.” But history shows that islands are only safe when they prepare for rising tides. Examples of countries in Africa that were once described as “island of peace” but later threw into security chaos include Ethiopia (the Tigray war and its aftermath), Tanzania, Namibia, Kenya, Libya, Tunisia etc. And in other parts of the world we have, Sri Lanka, Costa Rica,…
