Actually, he is an idiot and does not use his brains.

Is he telling us that over 100,000 or so diasporans voted in proxy? How possible?

Gbemela!

IT IS AMAZING TO SEE HOW FULLY GROWN HUMAN BEINGS HAVE SUSPENDED THE USE OF THEIR INTELLECTUAL FACULTIES TO BUY INTO THIS RIDICULOUSLY FALSE TALES EMANATING FROM THE NPP LEADERS. I GUESS THE NPP LEADER ALWAYS KNEW THAT THEIR SUPPORTERS ARE SO GULLIBLE AND BRAIN-DEAD THAT THEY WOULD BELIEVE ANY STUPID LIES COMING FROM THE LEADERSHIP. I AM STILL WAITING FOR ANY GHANAIAN WHO CAN LEGITIMATELY PROVE THAT SHE/HE VOTED ABROAD IN THE DECEMBER 2012 ELECTIONS.

I call on those who voted in Germany to report to the NPP lawyers. They should tell them where and when they cast their votes. In fact, i do not think any Ghanaians voted hier in Germany.

This writer is not only daydreaming but also, a gargantuan liar. Why then were some Ghanaians registered in the foreign missions? The HE/SHe called Margaret Jackson is a big fool to write such a trash. Who does she think she is deceiving if not the NDC bigots who are sorry to say, LITTLE MINDS as usual?

If no Ghanaian abroad voted in the 2012 general elections, why did the EC spend time and resources to register some Ghanaians abroad? Just to vote by proxy? Why send EC officials to foreign countries to register Ghanaians who were qualified to vote but not let them vote? Was that just a holiday for those officials to earn some allowance in foreign currency or what? That was a waste of Ghana's scarce resources. If this revelation is true then the EC really mismanaged the 2012 elections.

All the same, if this is true, it could be a big blow to the petitioners. That would mean the details of those who were registered abroad may not be necessary since they did not vote and could not have had any impact on the outcome, unless of course, it was a ploy to increase the registered voters list,

In fact the external vote issue was a confession on the part of the EC. It was this same EC that came with the figures so why do you people feel so buzzed by the action if NANA? Your obstinacy and shameful attitude of wanting everything by force will not work this time. Check your wings and make sure they are still good for flying because you will be doing just that when the supreme court gives you the boot. Nonsense.

Dose this manwoman understand what"proxy voting" means? It means someone resident overseas but eligible to vote in Ghana, and who has been duly registered to vote in Ghana, as provided in the electoral law, authorising -- in writing -- another person IN GHANA to vote for him/her, or otherwise recording a vote and posting it throug a Ghana diplomatic mission abriad.

A documentary trail of all these processes should be available. So what is obabarima Margaret Jackson talking about?

Folks, these NDC propagandists are steadily giving their own game away! They are so nervous about the rigging they carried out, and the other malfeasances, will be discovered that they run when no-one is chasing them! Haba! By their fears we shall know them.

Since when did this faceless Baboon Margaret Jackson became the spokes person of the crook old man, the Electoral Commissioner and why all these notorious NDC gangsters fighting the EC fight?

If the shameless deadhead criminal, Barton Oduro, the unfortunate first deputy speaker of the august house of Parliament did not want the woyome saga discuss at the vetting for his own guilt and as he put it, because the case is at the court, why should a case at the Supreme Court be discuss here by the criminally recruited NDC sympathizers?

Margaret Jackson, if that is your real name as I doubt, you are indeed nothing but a neophyte bigot political ignoramus being use like a toy remote control.

Surely there must have been such a list in the EC's own tabulations for the NPP petitioners to ask the court to seek details of the external votes? If not, then why would the supreme justices unanimously grant their request? On what account? I believe we all want to know the truth about overseas voting in this election. If indeed the State officials abroad voted by proxy, then how come there was a list of over 200,000 overseas voting? Ei, asem a tu yen ooh!

Like all the allegations of the NPP, this request for the EC to provide them with the registration of Ghanaians living abroad is trial and error. They cannot be sure of their own evidence so they were requesting the EC to furnish them with the originals of the pink sheets, with the excuse that EC will tamper with the evidence ( the same evidence in the possession of 6 other contestants which stood for the elections. What happened to their initial assessment that votes were added to JDM at the collation centres?
