In the past few days, several attempts have been made in the press to spin the results of both constituency and regional elections of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in order to hurry public opinion and prevent a true appreciation of the facts. This spin is summed up in the contrived headlines of the Wednesday 6th January, 2010 edition of The Ghanaian Chronicle, which sought to portray a �photo-finish� in a hypothetical race between Nana Akufo-Addo and Alan Kyerematen for the flag-bearership of the NPP.
