Since when did sound become the most important factor in determining leadership qualities? Thats third world politics for you. Infact Nana is more eloquent than Mahama, leadership should be about ideas, humility, respect for fellow citizens, integrity, service etc.

Absolute power-corrupts! Ghanaian-democracy is matured enough to move to a parliamentary system. In a presidential system, the legislature has no hold over the executive and the president, the head of the government can easily turn-authoritarian or become detached from the plight of the people. It entrusts to much power in the hands of one man.
