1. John Mahama
The president remains the most powerful person in the country, with his control over state resources. The constitution gives him broad powers that put key institutions like the security services and NADMO, to name a few, under his control.
2. Nana Akufo-Addo
The 72-year-old is currently the second most powerful man after the president as he boasts the support of half of the country and has the potential to win the December 7 election. He also boasts the support of powerful donors and special interests
3. Charlotte Osei
The chairman of the Electoral Commission or the electoral commissioner has become so powerful with the elections coming up. She has the power to influence the security of the country with decisions she takes . Some may even argue that she is currently the most powerful personality in the country.
4. Georgina Wood
The chief justice is one of the most powerful Ghanaians both within the context of the elections and outside of it. She is already asserting this power by setting up courts that will sit on election disputes. Should one of the main presidential candidates choose to reject the result of the election and petition the Supreme Court, she will be required to empanel judges to sit on the case.
5. Lordina Mahama
The first lady is one of the most powerful people in the country. She has the ear of the president, and is believed to have control over some lucrative government contracts.
6. Edward Doe Adjaho

8. Dr Mahamudu Bawumia
The popularity of the NPP vice-presidential candidate and former Bank of Ghana deputy governor has been skyrocketing in recent times. He has eclipsed Alan Kyerematen to become the third most powerful and influential man in the NPP after Akufo-Addo and former President J.A. Kufuor. He also appeals to many people across the political spectrum. Most importantly, there is the potential that he can become vice-president in December.

Yes the Bible said that "But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me" (LUKE 19:27 KJV) let us all pray in agreement: who are the enemies!! the laries, the ghost names the foreigners names on the register and anybody who has been assign to perform anything that is contrary to the electoral reform are the enemies, we will first pray that God forgive them for their evil plans, they desired to execute their evil plans them they face the rough of God
Nana Addo and Bawumia are popular than Amissah Arthus and that should be ur worry not owusu bempah
This is sarcastic as we assume that power is only political and there are many things and values that we need use for this and we have journalism to the DOGS for something to be initiated and published.
