A deputy governor of the Bank of Ghana ,Dr. Abdul-Nashiru Issahaku is favorite to be named as the new governor. A replacement is expected to be named by the FlagStaff House for the position vacated by Dr.Henry Kofi Wampah early this week and Pulse.com.gh understands Dr.Issahaku will get the nod from the President. Most analysts have predicted a choice between another deputy Millison Narh and Dr.Issahaku but the presidency seems to have been swayed by his wider experience dealing with the World Bank and the African Development Bank.

President Mahama has reduced governance of the country to PR stunts. The acting chairman of the NPP Freddie Blay  has said.
Freddie Blay in an interview with Pulse com.gh said the president has lost total control of the management of the country.
“It’s been very poor. I am disappointed. The man is my friend, we were both in parliament; he is not doing the job. He considers the job as a PR endeavor.” He said
Blay was speaking to Pulse.com.gh on the party’s preparation towards the November general elections.
 
The limited voter registration exercise slated for April 28, 2016 is likely to suffer another setback following a suit filed by the NPP’s Brong Ahafo Region Youth Organiser, Kwame Baffoe against the exercise. The motion on the limited voters’ registration will be scheduled for hearing on April 6, 2016. The plaintiff, Kwame Baffoe says until the Supreme Court rules on the first suit, the EC cannot go ahead with the limited registration exercise. This is not the first time a case against the exercise has been brought before the law courts. The former National Youth organizer of the Peoples National Convention, Abu Ramadan, in December last year filed a suit at the Supreme Court demanding that the 2012 voters’ register be declared null and void.

Quote "I think that we are becoming better prepared but we always need to be vigilant. If I have one message it is that we need to work together. It is an international problem and requires an international solution." Unquote
