Ghana midfielder Mubarak Wakaso believes the two biggest political parties in the country- NPP and NDC-are partly to be blamed to the country's 38-year trophy drought.
The Black Stars have not won a continental title since 1982 when they lifted the Africa Cup of Nations for the fourth time.
Since then, Ghana have come close on three occasions burned and crushed on the cusp of lifting the title in 1992, 2010 and 2015.
Wakaso, 0ne of the longest members of the current squad, feels the rivalry between the two parties is militating against the team's title-winning chances.
He claims the national team does not get the get full 'moral' support from the two main political parties because of their own agendas.
Wakaso told Angel TV: ''I will speak the truth today. Do you know our problem about the game?
''Maybe we know but we don’t want to say it. But I think politics ruins the Blacks Stars at times. When NDC is in power, NPP doesn’t want us to win and vice versa.''

DID THIS GUY THOUGHT DEEP BEFORE SPEWING THESE CHAFF FROM HIS MOUTH.DO THEY WEAR ANY PARTY'S T'SHIRT WHEN THEY ARE ON FIELD PLAYING FOOTBALL? HAS HE EVER SEEN ON EVERAL OCCASIONS SOCCER BRINGING ENEMIES TOGETHER. DO THEY GO THEY TO PLAY FOR MOTHER GHANA OR THE GOVERNMENT OF THE DAY. WHEN THEY PLAYED STRONGLY AGAINST GERMANY WAS IT SAID NDC DID WELL OR WAS GHANA BLACK STAR.HE HIMSELF SHOULD BE HONEST AND TELL THE TRUTH THAT, THEY WERE AND ARE NOT PATRIOTIC. GONE ARE THE DAYS WHEN ABEDI AYEW PELE AND OTHERS COULD PLAY FOOTBALL AND ONE SAW SELFLESSNESS. IN FACT THEY PLAYED FOR COUNTRY GHANA.USE LESS BOYS AFTER ASKING FOR MONEY TO BE AIR-LIFTED TO YOU IN BRAZIL YOU STILL HAVE THE AUDACITY TO INSULT US.
So by your logic Wakasso, why Ghana could not win any trophy from 1982 onwards. Since after 1982, selection of players was not based on talent, but those who can bribe their way into the team, you included. How many years have been playing for the Black Stars, people like you and the Ayew brothers brought division and selfishness into Black Stars due to your tribalistic egos, not political parties. You have to be ashamed of yourself, looser.
This is serious but when you asked for money before playing at Brazil have you forgotten that when you are on the field playing very well and get juicy contracts it was the making of the parties. My friend the point is that you don't take the playing for the Black stars serious and expect us to be happy with you.
