Ghanaian actress, Lydia Forson has lamented on the limited options for Ghanaians in the coming elections.

 compared the situation to being forced to choose between a cheating ex whom you know will cheat again (this being the National Democratic Party) and an abusive current boyfriend (National Patriotic Party) who has been constantly maltreating you amidst other less significant suitors who cannot measure up to what you need.

She said this with regards to the 2020 General Election which has been set for 7th December. The movie write complained that it is a sad thing that Ghanaians can only choose between the governing  New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), the two political parties that have held Ghana to a chokehold in the political space since the Fourth Republic of Ghana which began in January 1993.

Lydia Forson stated that both parties are really not the best choices for Ghanaians as they have not really understood the need of Ghanaians with all the time they've had to govern.

“…this year’s elections feel like having to choose between your ex who cheated on you and wants a second chance, your current who treats you like he’ll never lose you, and other suitors you’ve never given yourself time to know."

"Do you give your ex another chance, work it out with your current or open yourself up to the possibilities of other suitors?"

"Or do you pause, look at yourself in the mirror reflect on all your decisions and try to understand why you keep getting into relationships and sometimes ‘entanglements’ with people who treat you the way they do?” she bemoaned.

She continued to outline that Ghanaians are at fault for not holding the politicians accountable to their promises. The actress asked Ghanaians to set standards for the politicians and hold them to account for each promise set.

“The truth is, a lot of us are easily swayed when politicians come and whisper sweet nothings into our ears, and it doesn’t take much for us to spread our legs."

"But we’ve got to learn to set some standards, or they will continue to dangle shiny things in front of us whenever they’re horny."

"And once they’re satisfied, they will leave us without the decency of Uber fare home."

"So as you prepare to go to the polls this year, understand that regardless of who you vote for if you don’t set standards and hold them accountable to them, your heart will get broken again."

"Because when someone wants you, they’ll do everything they can to get you; but if you make them feel like they can never lose you, you’ll find the hard way, that you were only a means to an end,” she concluded.
