Member of Parliament (MP) for Assin Central, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong says President Donald Trump lost the election because he ‘joked’ with COVID-19.
President Trump lost the recently held election in the United States of America (USA) to Joe Biden.
Even though he (Trump) has refused to accept the results, citing fraud, Joe Biden is set to be sworn in as the 46th President of the USA.
Speaking to this on Kumasi-based Hello FM, Kennedy Agyapong said he was praying for Trump to lose because he “has reduced America to the lowest level in the world”
“…winning election is by performance. President Trump blew his chance…he should have shown concern for COVID and he would have won the election easily. Can you compare Donald Trump’s way of handling the COVID to that of President Akufo-Addo in this country? he added.
Joe Biden celebrations cut short after sad news confirmed. Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden could receive a heavy blow following the news.
In a report on Twitter this Friday, November 06, 2020, American journalist Larry Madowo wrote alleging that Georgia has announced that there will be a recount in the presidential election.
Mr Madowo said the remarks were a confirmation from the Secretary of State and who also said they did not find any general irregularities, but were investigating all allegations.
“Georgia announces that there will be a recount in the presidential election. The secretary of state also said that they did not find any widespread irregularities, but were investigating all allegations.” He tweeted.
President Donald Trump continued to protest the election result, claiming that there had been a rigging.
These celebrations might as well be halted after sad news from Georgia. As reported by Larry Madowo, Georgia has announced that there will be a presidential election recount.
The president of the Republic of Ghana his Excellency Nana Addo Dankwah Akuffo Addo addresses the Nation on measures and plans taken in place of the Coronavirus pandemic. This will be the 19th address.
On his Speech, he said, the Active cases of the disease soared to 947 days ago.
The latest data from the Ghana Health Service indicated 145 new cases have been reported, increasing the national confirmed cases to 48,788 as of 6 November 2020.
A total of 47,521 have either recovered or discharged with the death toll still at 320 for the past one week.
The number of cases confirmed at the Kotoka International Airport from international travelers since 1 September 2020 stands at 160 out of which 53 have been discharged or recovered.
Ten persons however are in severe condition, four critical while two others remain on ventilators.
Over the past weeks, all eyes and attention are focused on the ongoing presidential elections in the United States of America. All political enthusiasts kept their fingers crossed as the world awaited for the final results. The two principal leaders were contesting to rule the former British colony for the next 4 years. They were the incumbent Donald J. Trump of the ruling Republican Party and Joseph R. Biden of the opposition Democratic Party, both in their seventies.
As we communicate now, it is obvious that Joe Biden has signed a 4 year contract with the United States of America to serve as the President. The president elect is receiving congratulatory messages from national leaders, political activists and people from all over the world.
The President of the Republic, His Excellency Nana Addo Danquah Akuffo Addo has waded into reactions and sent a message to Joe Biden and his team for a resounding victory. He also congratulated Senator Kamara Harris on becoming the first woman vice president of the states.
He composed, “It is my sincere hope President-elect Biden’s tenure of office will be marked by the delivery of unity, security, progress and prosperity to all Americans. I am hopeful that over that, over the course of his presidency, relations between Ghana and United States Of America will continue to grow from strength to strength, relations which have, over the years, been based on a shared agenda of freedom, development, progress and prosperity.”
The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress(NDC), John Dramani Mahama took to his Twitter yesterday to congratulate the President-Elect of the United States of America, Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. as he becomes the 46th President of America.
Well, after his tweet, a Ghanaian found it so inappropriate for Mahama to be claiming that since America has changed their President, Ghanaians might also take the same decision and vote for him in the upcoming election in December.
The netizen said Mahama should stop dreaming of becoming the President of Ghana again because his party’s ways are kind of similar to that of Joe Biden’s. Firstly, the USA has changed its President and secondly, Joe Biden’s vice is a lady in the person of Kamala Harris.
Well, the netizen thinks that Mahama is trying to inform Ghanaians that he might also become the next President of Ghana as Joe Biden has become the President of the USA.
The wind of election is blowing across the world. As a writer it is my duty to bring to you the authentic and reliable news from the right sources with evidence. As a writer I have to be circumspect in all my reportages to make my news credible. As you all know the United States of America just had their crucial election and the incumbent President John Donald Trump has been defeated massively. A defeat that he was not dreaming of but as it comes he has to accept it in good faith. After all he also defeated someone to become a President so there is nothing wrong if someone also defeat him to also become a president.
As people are giving congratulatory messages to the United States of America President elect Joe Biden, the former Ghanaian military leader and subsequent politician who ruled Ghana for several years also took to social media to say kudos to the new president elected. His message on social media got several social media users talking. This is what the former Ghanaian military leader has said.

We all spoke against the dumsor (erratic power supply) and the high inflation rate and so if these have been solved at the moment with Ghanaians also enjoying free SHS, then all I can say is that Nana contnue” Sarkodie in the song Happy Day.
“Sarkodie denied that the track was a campaign song for the ruling New Patriotic Party NPP.” Kuame Eugene disclosed.
Undisputed award winning Radio Personality,Mugabe Maase of Power FM has taken Sarkodie to the cleaners over his ‘Happy Day’ song.
Speaking on Inside Politics on Power FM, the NDC media man warned the rapper not to joke with the NDC because they can destroy his career.
“If you want your career to end,I will end it for you.” Mugabe said
“Come out and apologise to the flagbearer for NDC, John dramani mahama otherwise I will deal with you spiritually” He Added
He then alleged that Sarkodie took money from the government after going broke in USA because of COVID-19 border closure.
Moments after networks, including CNN, called the presidential race for Joe Biden, President Trump said in a statement from his campaign that Biden is “rushing to falsely pose as the winner,” and call the race “far from over.”
The statement says the campaign’s legal battle will begin Monday:
“Beginning Monday, our campaign will start prosecuting our case in court to ensure election laws are fully upheld and the rightful winner is seated.”
“I will not rest until the American People have the honest vote count they deserve and that Democracy demands,” Trump says in the statement.
With just 31 days left for Ghanaians to go to the polls to elect a President and Members of Parliament, it seems all is not well within the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) in its campaign as the party accused Regional and Constituency Executives of not doing enough.
In a letter signed by the General Secretary of the NDC, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, the letter states that, after a meeting of the Functional Executive Committee (FEC) of the NDC, it was noted that, the party need to intensify its campaign.
The letter further stated that, Regional and Constituency Executives of the NDC have reneged on their responsibilities in their respective Regions as they left everything to the campaign teams in the Regions and the party Headquarters.
The letter also indicated that, the Regional campaign tours by the flagbearer of the NDC, John Mahama and the running mate, Naana Jane Opoku Agyemang has revealed several disappointing lapses in the Party’s campaign in many Constituencies across the Country.
It added that, the National Headpotters of the Party sometimes arrange for supporters to be bussed from other Regions for party events and which does not augur well for the NDC.
As a result of this, the Functional Executives Committee leadership of the Party have aggreed to assign National Officers to all the Regions
Democratic candidate Joe Biden has consolidated his lead over Donald Trump in Pennsylvania, a key state in the US presidential race, results data show.
Mr Biden is ahead by nearly 29,000 votes, with 99% counted. If he takes the state, he will win the election.
Earlier, Mr Biden edged ahead of his Republican rival in Georgia, another important battleground state, where a recount will now be held.
Meanwhile, the Trump campaign said: “This election is not over.”
However, there is no indication Mr Trump will concede to his opponent in the short term.
“Joe Biden should not wrongfully claim the office of the President,” he tweeted on Friday afternoon. “I could make that claim also. Legal proceedings are just now beginning!”
Mr Trump has been making unsubstantiated claims of election fraud, spurring some fellow Republicans to speak up that the rhetoric should be toned down.
What’s the current state of the race?
Mr Biden is leading Mr Trump by more than 4 million votes out of a record 145 million cast.
But US presidential election results are decided on a state-by-state basis in the Electoral College, and the contest is much closer in the key battlegrounds.
Mr Biden has 253 Electoral College votes, while Mr Trump has 214. To win the White House, a candidate needs 270.
Some news organisations have a higher tally for Mr Biden, having projected a win for the Democrat in Arizona. But the BBC considers the state too early to call.
Pennsylvania, where Mr Biden was born, has 20 Electoral College votes. If the Democrat wins it, he would secure the victory with 273 votes.
The Rust Belt state voted Democratic in six consecutive White House races before it swung to Mr Trump in 2016.
In Georgia, Mr Biden is currently leading with more than 4,000 votes, and 99% of the ballots counted. Georgia’s secretary of state said there would be a recount because the margin was so small.
Georgia (16 electoral votes) is a traditionally Republican state and has not been won by a Democrat in a presidential race since 1992.
Mr Biden leads by more than 22,000 votes in Nevada (six electoral votes) and by fewer than 30,000 in Arizona (11 electoral votes).
Mr Trump leads in North Carolina (15 electoral votes) by more than 76,000 ballots.
Mr Trump’s team says legal challenges and recounts in some states will favour them.
Bob Bauer, a Biden campaign lawyer, says the lawsuits are legally “meritless”.
But on Thursday, a judge in Pennsylvania ruled that Republican election observers should be granted close-up observation of the counting.
A win in just Pennsylvania or two of the other four remaining states would be enough to confirm Mr Biden as president-elect.
Mr Trump would need to win Pennsylvania and three of the remaining four states.
