It's Friday, which means two things: first, the weekend starts here, and second, a seriously packed week is finally coming to an end. Here's how it all went down.

Of course Monday was the morning after the night before, when Sam George delivered a resounding and undignified slap to the aged hindquarters of the parliamentary legend that is ET Mensah by trouncing him soundly in the Ningo-Pampram Parliamentary Primaries.

The elections in that constituency were extremely eventful, with insults and blows flying between the supporters and candidates alike. The Military turned up unexpectedly and there were reports of intimidation. The whole constituency was turned into a pressure cooker, and in the end, when the lid was lifted,  Sam George emerged swollen-faced but victorious, while E.T. Mensah was well and truly cooked.

The main issue with the election was the register. In every single constituency, hundreds - and sometimes, thousands - could not find their names.

This, by the way, is the biometric register that President Mahama announced during the Brong Ahafo leg of his Changing Lives tour, was designed to give supporters the chance to elect people of their choice. Well, as it turned out, he meant not every supporter.

But I guess if the party members themselves are not asking questions about exactly how much control the party had over the particular names that didn't make it onto the list, who am I to mourn harder than the bereaved?

The President himself came out of the process with a resounding 95% endorsement of his flagbearership, but he himself I'm sure will admit that he really needed the 100% they had targeted. Why else would they have spent a money on this whole "Changing Lives" tour in the first place? And, as expected, the opposition has milked it for all it's worth. Who wouldn't? Why pass up the opportunity to state that almost five percent of the President's own party would rather have anyone else but him as their President in 2016?

Now, the NPP, not to be left out of the headlines, woke up on Tuesday morning to find their headquarters surrounded by the cops and declared a crime scene. Apparently, some armed intruders had entered the premises at dawn, locked up the security staff on site and ransacked the headquarters. The cops turned up and arrested eleven men wearing red Peace and Unity t-shirts.

Just yesterday, they appeared in court and were charged with Unlawful Entry among other things. Joy News spoke to the ringleader who had a curious narrative indeed. He said he was a card-bearing member of the NPP - a former Assemblyman, no less - who had decided that, with all the turmoil in the party, it was time for him to have a "peaceful conversation" with the party leadership. In order to have this "peaceful conversation", he organised a squad of former military men, dressed them all in military fatigues (well done to him for already having uniforms in their sizes), armed them and headed out to the party headquarters reportedly in police and military vehicles at 3am for this "peaceful" meeting. Then of course, the cops came and there was not a single military uniform or vehicle in sight.

Personally, I'm just concerned about the fact that there are card-bearing members of the NPP who have access to security forces equipment and weapons, and who are willing to use them in the name of their party. The question of whether or not the Invincible Forces - NPP's in-house private army - were also armed, is yet to be substantively answered by the police in this investigations, but one thing that is certain is that this could turn out very very bad in an election year if the authorities, and the party, don't move swiftly to de-militarize and de-weaponize all organs, groups and individuals within the party.

This week, we also had a rather engaging conversation about the anatomy of the political mind with Eva Lokko, Sydney Casley-Hayford and Edgar Wiredu, as well as some education on the state of violence against women in Ghana.

Then yesterday, Stonebwoy was our guest, and what a guest he was. Intelligent, articulate, talented and extremely likeable. We all had a great time with the multiple-award-winning Afro Dancehall artiste.

Today, we've got a big show lined up for you with a very big guest indeed. The British High Commissioner to Ghana, Jon Benjamin joins us to shoot the breeze on matters of bilateral concern. Stay tuned for his latest thoughts on the GFA, corruption, Dumsor and more. Also, Nana Kwaku Bonsam on Antoa, right here on everybody's favourite breakfast, the Super Morning Show.

My name is Kojo Yankson, and it's been a week of Violence and other Instruments of Peace.

GOOD MORNING, GHANAFO!
