NDC's Rashid Tanko: The Origin of "Computer"

Tanko Rashid-Computer, Deputy National Elections Director of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), earned his nickname due to his exceptional academic talent.

A mathematics teacher impressed by his calculative speed and conceptual clarity gave him the name, which has become ubiquitous in Ghana.

"I was the only person who could understand what the lady was doing. So I was more or less like a PA to her,"

Tanko explained that the incident occurred during a mathematics lesson where he assisted the teacher, who had a difficult accent, as a personal teaching assistant.
