The team starts with the latest on the Electoral Commission and the limited voters’ registration excise that started this week. We also look at the EC rebranding announcement, including the controversy about the new logo.

We look at the comments by former Minister of Transport Dzifa Aku Attivor, who told National Democratic Congress (NDC) supporters that a New Patriotic Party (NPP) government in 2017 will arrest some of them just like in 2001, when the NPP assumed office. We discuss the tribal politics related to the comments.

From there, we look at business news, in particular union issues here in Ghana.

Over to entertainment, David Mawuli looks at how the remains of late actor Nii Odoi Mensah from China to Ghana, will make their way back to Ghana, and who is paying for it.

We also look at Shatta Wale's new video for his controversial track titled "Bie Gya" as well as singer Deborah Vanessa featuring in Reggie N Bollie music video.

And in sports, Kwame Boakye talked about the upcoming Hearts verse Kotoko game this long weekend.
