1 | Counting the Hours Before Ghana's Presidential Elections | Ora Sisa No Isaina Alohan'ny Fifidianana Filoham-pirenena ao Ghanà |
2 | It is just one day before Ghana's election day and campaigns are intensifying - some early morning street campaigns are accompanied by horn blowing, loud singing and clapping. | Iray andro sisa alohan'ny androm-pifidianana ao Ghanà ary mihamafy hatrany ny fampielezan-kevitra - androany vao maraimbe, narahina sioka sy feon'anjomara, hiakam-pifaliana sy tehaka ny fampielezan-kevitra sasany. |
3 | Some people are proudly wearing party-affiliated shirts around town while others are taking the subtle route of keeping it private. | Miakanjo t-shirt am-pireharehana an'ny antoko tohanany ny olona sasany manerana ny tanàn-dehibe, ny sasany manao izany amin'ny mangingina. |
4 | Television networks are transitioning programs with peace messages from both children and adults amidst a handful of stories about political violence in some towns. | Ny fahitalavitra kosa mandefa fandaharana misy hafatra momba ny filaminana avy amin'ny ankizy sy ny olo-dehibe manoloana ny herisetra amina tanàn-dehibe sasany. |
5 | Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo - Ghana's main opposition presidential candidate. | Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo - kandidà ao amin'ny mpanohitra nirotsaka ho fidianana filoham-pirenena ao Ghanà. |

8 | @Macharia_M: These guys are taking the peace campaigns pretty seriously. | @Macharia_M: Amim-pahamatorana no andraisan'izy ireo ny fampielezan-kevitra ho an'ny filaminana. |
9 | Even in their music programs a whole 15 minutes of peace songs. | Na tamin'ny fandaharana mozika momba ny hiran'ny filaminana mandritra ny 15 minitra alefan'izy ireo aza. |
10 | Whoa. | Mahafinaritra |
11 | @accradotalt tweeted on December 4, saying: | @accradotalt nisioka tamin'ny 4 Desambra, ary nilaza hoe: |
12 | @accradotalt: All these peace songs are a bit much- as if prior to the elections #Ghana was unstable. | @accradotalt: Somary tafahoatra ireo hiran'ny filaminana- tahaka ny korontana alohan'ny fifidianana #Ganà. |
13 | The Electoral Commission of Ghana has warned the public not to use cell phones to take pictures of their votes while in the voting booths. | Nampitandrina ny vahoaka ny Komitim-pifidianana ao Ghanà mba tsy hampiasa finday hakàna sary ny bileta halatsak'izy ireo rehefa ao anaty trano fisainana (isoloir). |
14 | The warning, however, doesn't seem to sit well with some voters. | Na dia izany aza, toa tsy mety tamin'ireo mpifidy sasany ny fampitandremana. |
15 | Commenting on a story about the warning published on MyJoyOnline, Freedom Fighter had this to say: | Naneho hevitra mikasika ny fampitandremana ny vahoaka tao amin'ny MyJoyOnline, Freedom Fighter (Mpitolona ho an'ny Fahalalahana) nilaza ity: |
16 | Everyone has the right to announce who they supported, and vote buying will continue as long as this is a capitalist country. | Manan-jo hanambara izay kandidà tohanany ny olona tsirairay, ary mbola mitohy ny fividianam-bato (fividianana ny safidim-bahoaka) raha mbola firenena kapitalista ity. |
17 | The US allows photo taking. | Mamela haka sary i Etazonia. |
18 | They cannot stop freedom. | Tsy afaka manakana ny fahalalahana izy ireo. |

21 | Pat-downs before entering the booth? | Fisavana alohan'ny hidirana ao amin'ny trano fisainana? |
22 | On the issue of peace, @novisid, clearly a supporter of the National Democratic Congress party tweeted: | Mikasika ny resaka filaminana, @novisid, mpanohana miharihary ny antoko NDC Kongresy Demokratika Nasionaly (National Democratic Congress) nisioka hoe: |
23 | @novisid: I won't merely pledge to vote. | @novisid: Tsy vonona handeha hifidy ihany aho. |
24 | I pledge to vote 4 Mahama [current president John Mahama]. | Fa vonona hifidy an'i 4 Mahama [ny filoha am-perinasa John Mahama]. |
25 | Against all die be die. | Manohitra ny korontana. |
26 | PEACE! | FILAMINANA! |
27 | It appears the rhetoric has intensified in the few days leading to the elections as staunch party members are using social media platforms to counter statements from their opponents. | Toa hita fa nihamafy ny lahateny andro vitsy alohan'ny fifidianana, satria nampiasa fitaovana fampahalalam-baovao sosialy ireo mpikambana mavitrika amin'ny antoko mba hanohitra ny fanambaran'ireo mpifanandrina aminy . |
28 | @novisid tweeted again: | @novisid mbola nisioka indray: |
29 | @novisid: Seems Bawumia was told that for him to be seen as a politician whatever he sees, he should just call it ‘propaganda'. | @novisid: Araka ny nambaran'i Bawumia, toa tahaka ny mpanao politika izay hitany rehetra, tokony antsoiny fotsiny hoe ‘fampielezan-kevitra'. |
30 | And he adds: | Ary hoy izy nanampy: |
31 | @novisid: What has dominated debate ahead of election is not education but Akuffo Addo's fraud called free SHS [Free Senior High School]. | @novisid: Tsy mba ny fampianarana no nibahana nandritra ny adihevitra alohan'ny fifidianana fa ny hosoky (hala-bato) Akuffo Addo antsoina hoe SHS [Sekoly Ambony Maimaim-poana]. |
32 | A supporter of the opposition party, New Patriotic Party, @ohenebagyimah has been raining tweets for the party in the days leading to the elections. | Mpanohana ny antokon'ny mpanohitra, Antoko Vaovao Tia Tanindrazana, @ohenebagyimah nisioka imbetsaka ho an'ny antoko andro maro mialoha ny fifidianana. |
