Men would always read meanings into everything that happens around us.
Shortly after the Electoral Commission announced that Nana Akufo Addo would be occupying the number five spot on the ballot paper, the Ashanti Regional Chairman of his party has linked his position to the five smooth stones David picked before facing Goliath.
In a brief chat with Peacefmonline.com Mr. Bernard Antwi Boasiako popularly known as Chairman ‘Wontumi’ noted that the number five represents a good omen for the New Patriotic Party.
In his view, the same manner picked up five smooth stones to kill Goliath, Nana Akufo Addo would repeat the same triumph against President Mahama in the aftermath of the December 7the presidential elections.
"Nana is going to stone Mahama and we would all see it", he said.
He related this to 1 Samuel vrs 40 which reads: Then he took his staff in his hand, chose five smooth stones from the stream, put them in the pouch of his shepherd’s bag and, with his sling in his hand, approached the Philistine.
He then added 1 Samuel vrs 50 which also reads : So David triumphed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone; without a sword in his hand he struck down the Philistine and killed him.
Political parties contesting this year’s Presidential elections have picked positions on the ballot papers.
At a balloting session at the Electoral Commission (EC) headquarters in Accra on Wednesday evening, moments after announcing which presidential candidates have qualified to be on the ballot paper, the Convention People's Party chose the first position followed by the National Democratic Party (NDP) at second and the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) at third position.
The Progressive People's Party (PPP) and the main opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) picked fourth (4th) and fifth (5) spot respectively for the upcoming polls.
People's National Convention (PNC) will be sixth on the ballot paper and the independent candidate Jacob Osei Yeboah (JOY) in seventh position.

twee aaaaaaahhhh npp no way for u kraaaa. ndc all de way
NPP position on the ballot paper. No. 5 signifies the 5th President to be elected.
Change will definitoy come Ghanaians are tired of NDC AND JDM.JM TWASO
Nana Addo all the way but let us educate our on how to vote,also not the president alone but the MPS as well without them we nobody.
All dis are human sayings but God is de only one who has de final say so politicians take heart and see wat God will do wai.
Aiiy politicians, I believed there is John 3:16 in d Bible. so coming 7th DEC NDC all d way still edebee keke
The 5th position for the opposition NPP means Nana Addo will be the 5th President of the republic of Ghana after formal presidents: Jerry John Rawlings, Kuffour, Attah mills and Mahama.
I don't know who is Goliath and who is David here. But what I'm here to say is; what Ghanaians don't like, they don't like, even if you force them for it, they will by no means accept it. I am a child but what I have noticed since 2008 up to date is, Ghanaians like NPP but they also hate the parties's presidential candidate. Even if the person can go within himself, he will notice this that Ghanaians not want him as their president. I like his Vim and the way he always encourage himself that he will by all means rule Ghana as a president. So the position of the political parties on the ballot paper, doesn't determine whether the party is a winning party or not. Thank you!
I don't think far..... Koraa for what is going on. I can't think ***barred word***
NPP will win massively in coming December 7th. So please Mr.JM get down wai. Always laying foundation for (6)six good years ahhhh you why.
