Ezanetor’s parliamentary bid in limbo as Klottey Korley executives root for Ga indigene

Dr. Ezanetor Rawlings, the daughter of the Founder of National Democratic Congress [NDC], Ex-President Jerry John Rawlings is finding her bid to contest in the Klottey Korley constituency NDC primaries a tough nut to crack as credible information at our disposal indicates that that the rank and file of party in the constituency want indigenous Ga as a Member of Parliament.

This reporter gathered that Leeford Quarshie, Wakefield Akuaku, Nii John Coleman, incumbent MP Nii Armah Ashitey including Dr. Ezanetor Rawlings has declared their intention to vie for the parliamentary seat at the party’s primaries slated for 7th November 2015.

Sources close to Klottey Korley NDC Constituency Executives told this reporter that all the contestants with the exception of daughter of the Founder of NDC are thorough bred Ga people.

Samples poll conducted among members of the NDC in the constituency as to which candidate will win the NDC parliamentary primaries present a conundrum for Dr.  Ezanetor Rawlings.
 She was trailing other aspirants in the independent poll conducted last week. Those who spoke to this reporter cited Dr. Ezanetor Rawlings as a non-indigene of Ga State as their reason.

Though the cross-section of NDC members holds a firm conviction that, the daughter of Mr. Rawlings is very competent and can represent their interest in parliament.  Members of the ruling party however say they will feel comfortable working with what they described as ‘one of their own’ as an indigenous person can easily bond with them because the individual understand their socio-cultural setting.

When members were asked which Ga aspirants they will vote for and will win the parliament slot come 7th November 2015, they kept their cards close their chest.

But the NDC Constituency Executives stood their grounds saying they are against Dr. Ezanetor in every way in her bid to contest other aspirants who are true indigene of Ga State, they hinted.

They have therefore vowed to resort to any illegal means as a measure to deter Dr. Ezanetor from achieving her desire if she failed to rescind on her decision to contest in the primaries election.

Another vexed issue that is working against Dr. Ezanetor Rawlings bid when this reporter gauge the political temperature of the constituency is the frosty relationship between her mother, Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings and the rank and file of the NDC culminating in the President of 31st December Women Movement breaking rank with the NDC party and forming her own party, the National Independent Party.

 The Klottey Korley is located in the heart of Greater Accra Region. It has over the years been hotly contested between the NDC and NPP. The story will not be different come 2016 presidential and parliamentary elections.

Photo of a man with amazingly ‘super head’ causes a stir on social media

Image
Many eyes have seen it but are yet to believe. To those who are convinced that God's creature exits on earth with such a weird shape of head have been left totally flabbergasted and worried too.That is human nature; doubting Thomases everywhere. A man whose photo has been making rounds on social media platforms has been the one in the centre of a huge controversy that rendered onlookers astounded and divided. The photograph in question has really created a scene that is of comic relief and over-sensational. The problem per se is not about his facial appearance but borders specifically on the 'caricature' shape of his head coupled with his jaw-jutting chin which has become the point of attraction at all cost.  It appears no amount of words could best describe the shape of his 'Hill-Valley-Hill Head' which looks very sparkling without hairs on it.  But some social media users who caught sight of the photograph have been reacting with varying

  People and the diseases they carry can be easily transmitted to any location in a matter of hours since we live in a linked, globalized society.

An epidemic is the rapid spread of disease to a large number of hosts in a given population within a short period of time. Being no respecter of person, an epidemic disease can affect both young and old of the society. The world since its creation has encountered several kinds of epidemics which have claimed many lives and caused great devastations to nations of the world.
