As I woke up this morning to the news on social media about the “potential” fall of the Great Elephant, my heart sank, and I felt a slight “nufi nufi” accompanied by a headache.

Personally, I’m not surprised, but the magnitude and potential position of the fall were shocking.

Any grassroots member of the party saw this coming. Quote me anywhere: “If a grassroots member of the NPP told you they didn’t see this coming, either they noticed the grass had turned brown but didn’t bother to check the root to understand why, or they were just being adamant.” I’ll leave the reasons for another day, but for now, let me focus on the science of the fall.

This morning, I asked ChatGPT about the easiest position for an elephant to get up after it falls.

Three positions came up: the side, the back, and the face. Each position requires a different level of skill and the elephant’s natural center of gravity to successfully get back on its feet.

As we await the EC’s final declaration, I can only speculate and anticipate the position of the fall. But before I go further, let me shed light on the three positions:

1. Side Position (50%):

If the elephant falls on its side, it becomes easier for it to use its front and back legs to push itself up. The elephant’s center of gravity helps it roll and use its body weight to rise.

If the Great “Osono” Party falls on its side, it will require significant internal effort to make changes to the current status quo that brought us to this abysmal level.

This would involve demolishing and rebuilding the system. My estimation: 50% of parliamentary seats.

A mission impossible with this election though. Right now, this seems like a wishful thought, but looking at social media this morning, it might  be entirely impossible.

Aside from prayer for forgiveness, we must also ask for forgiveness from the people of Ghana and our party faithful. This is necessary to purge the system of the “foolish arrogance” that has been displayed in the last eight years.

2. Back Position (25%):

If the elephant falls onto its back, getting up becomes almost impossible without an external force. The body is heavily weighted on the back and legs, making it hard to leverage muscles effectively.

Gravity becomes almost useless in this case. For this “enobi” prayer matter, it boils down to practical actions and decisions. My estimation for this position: 25% of parliamentary seats.

To get up from here, the party would need external help. In this case, I suggest a total overhaul of the party structures and its communication with the government when in power.

A consultant should be brought in to re-educate our party leaders on current voter trends, the importance of the middle class in winning elections, and how to communicate effectively with the people.

We must send all party executives to GIMPA for governance tutorials, because as it stands now, the party has lost touch with reality and modern-day politics.

This was evident in our repeated mistakes, even repeating the same mistakes Ghanaians punished the NDC for in the 2016 elections.

The details of why we lost will come in later publications. If we land in this back position, the party requires a complete overhaul—no quick fixes can save us.

3. Face Position (35%):

If the elephant falls on its face, its head and trunk block any leverage for getting up.

The elephant’s massive weight makes it very difficult to push itself up. First, it needs to lift its head and move its trunk before attempting to rise. My estimation for this position: 30-35% of parliamentary seats.

This would mean a complete replacement of the current party executives. Anything short of this is a waste of time, in my opinion.

Scientifically, it’s always possible for an elephant to get back on its feet after a fall. But if the Great “Osono” Party falls and we don’t take drastic measures, and decide to keep this our current arrogant posture, the people of Ghana will tolerate our nonsense for only so long.

Eventually, change will come. In the late sir Johns voice (May his soul rest in peace) “fear delegates”. In this case “fear voters”.

For the past eight years, we’ve confirmed the fears of many Ghanaians about the NPP—arrogance, dirty nepotism, and total abuse of power. Dr Nyaho Tamakloes caution about Akuffo Addo still fresh in my mind.

I believe we will bounce back, because the NDC knows they didn’t win this election based on any better alternative policies presented to Ghanaians.

Instead, we lowered the bar so much that they were able to slide back into power.
If there are any benefits for the people of Ghana to enjoy after voting us into office, it doesn’t make sense to wait until the election period to offer them. Let the people enjoy the progress as we go. We simply don’t learn.

I’ll repeat this: cutting sods and launching last-minute projects is nothing short of an insult to the intelligence of the people. This foolishness must stop.

It’s sickening.

May God bless our homeland, Ghana.
