The Akwaaba.GH
site says that «There are currently ten registered political
parties» but also that the «Election 2000 »is«
in the offing», so this number may have changed meanwhile. It
lists ten parties and their colours, emblem and slogan/motto.

Workers of the Ghana Railway Company (GRC) throughout the country have
started flying red-flags at all installations
of the company as a sign of their threat to withdraw their services and also
embark upon massive street demonstration to protest against the delay in the
adjustment of the tariff paid by the Ghana Bauxite Company (GBC) which they
consider as meagre.
Francisco Santos, 13 June 2003,
quoting from
London
Free Press website
Emmanuel Enoch Agbozo, Head Pastor of the Ghana Evangelical Society
advised the president to change the flag of the country
since «its spiritual power is gone forever». A new flag,
white with a cross and a crown of thorn covering the cross, would mark the
beginning of a new Ghana, founded in God, and move the nation to its former
glory.
