In the past, I've pointed out to friends that risk, by it's nature, arises from overlooked or unrecognised sources. If democracy in Ghana was ever at risk, it would not be because a particular party had acted in a way that they are generally thought to be capable of. The source of the risk would rather be 'unexpected' quarters.
In the past 48 hours, it seems to me that Ghana has come very very close to electoral disorder. And the only evidence that the EC has of vote rigging is against the NPP, the party that has always claimed, and been accorded, superior democratic credentials.
Ghanaians must be vigilant, regardless of which party is in power. We must cry foul when democratic ideals are infringed. The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their right names, say the Chinese.
