Tomorrow 7th December, 2016 will be Election Day in Ghana. I have voted many times before but I think tomorrow will be a special day because first and foremost my son will be voting for the first time and he is as excited as a little brown puppy and secondly, the incumbent government have been in power for the last eight years and many people are at a crossroads and feel they have not derived much from the government in terms of jobs for the youth, new businesses opening up, quality of life having dropped due to massive power outages and huge increases in petrol and food and last but not the least our beloved currency, the Cedi has taken a wild plunge.
I checked out the weather forecast for tomorrow and it says we are going to have rain. Well rain, snow, fog, hail or whatever the weather, nothing will stop me from voting tomorrow, so help me GOD.
It's is time we had a change and I am urging every Ghanaian out there to go and vote tomorrow. Do not let anyone intimidate you, just go to the polling station, cast both your votes for the Presidential and then for the Parliamentary candidate of your choice and then leave the polling station quietly and head home. Do not loiter. When it is 1700 hrs, which will be the time the voting will stop, you can go back and witness the counting of the ballot papers for each candidate.
Will be back here tomorrow to tell you how my day went.
