Electoral violence is fast becoming a dangerous stain on Ghana’s democratic record. Once seen as isolated incidents, violent disruptions are now a recurring feature of our elections. The question remains: how do we confront this growing canker before it weakens our democracy beyond repair?

He has been tagged to be above all the players in the division due to his performances.

"It’s a good thing. I don’t mind, if they’re jealous, then my manager will be happy. I need to keep going the way I’m going,” he replied.

“It’s always good to hear from managers that you’re a good player and the best in the league. I work hard every day to try and make that happen".

“I respect every club in the league. I’ve played in every competition which exists in the world, but I respect this league very much and if I’m not at the top of my game, I won’t get the praises from other managers” Ayew concluded.

Swansea City manager Steve Cooper has also indicated that Andre Ayew's level is not the championship.

“We have seen the real level of player he is this year, with the goals he has scored and the impact he has had on and off the pitch. It’s been brilliant to work with him.”

Andre Ayew is the deputy skipper of the Swans and he has made it a personal target to lead the team in their quest to secure promotion back to the English Premier League.

He first joined Swansea City in 2015 and won the English Premier League player of the month in August- which was his very first month.

Ayew excelled in his debut season with the Swans and influenced West Ham United to cough up 20.5 million for his signature.

However, he failed to glitter at the Hammers as a result of inconsistency coupled with injuries.

Swansea City bought him back to help save them from relegation, but it couldn’t materialize.

However, the Ghana skipper decided to stay with the Welsh side to help them gain promotion back to the topflight league.
