Chairman of the Electoral Commission, Dr. Kwadwo Afrai-Gyan, has admitted to several instances of double registration in the register of voters used for the 2012 general elections.

His admission follows a submission of a list of 51 such instances by Mr. Philip Addison, counsel for the election petitioners challenging the outcome of the presidential election which returned President John Mahama as the winner.

Mr. Addison is continuing his cross-examination of the EC Chairman at the Supreme Court.

Dr. Afari-Gyan, the sole returning officer for the presidential poll, had previously told the court that the use of the biometric registration and verification system had helped to improve the conduct of elections, specifically in helping to prevent double registration and impersonation.

He had also said that the 2012 election was the most transparent of all six elections he had superintended in the country. Ghana has had general elections (Presidential and Parliamentary) since returning to constitutional rule in 1992.

The NPP presidential candidate for the 2012 elections, Nana Akufo-Addo, his running mate Dr Mahamudu Bawumia and NPP chairman, Jake Obetsebi-Lamptey have petitioned the Supreme Court to annul over 4.5 million votes for alleged irregularities and malpractices and consequently overturn the declared result in favour of Nana Addo.

Didn't the NDC say it was free & fair ?

But didn't Afari Gyan and his NDC accomplices claim the 2012 elections was free and fair,hence the NDC's decision to join the suit to prove that ?

So why is Afari Gyan now confessing that indeed he double-registered some foolsoldiers ?

And why is the NDC not condemning this illegal act ?

Answer ?

The stealers are afraid to account for the GHC8.4 billion that went missing in the 2012 budget and the over GCH650 million dubiously paid as judgement debts to Agbesi Woyome and other thieves of the NDC.

May the gods of Afram River ,Ankobra River, Asuakawkaw River, Ayensu RIver ,Benchema River , Bia River , Birim River, Black Volta river, Daka river ,Dayi River ,Densu River, Edam river, Fia river, Jelem river, Kwasu river,Kpeshi Lagoon, Menu river, Mo River, Nasia River ,Nini River, Nuboi River ,Nworanae River ,Ofin River ,Ongwam river, Oti River, Oyoko river ,Pra River , Pru River, Pumpum River, Sanwu river, Sene River, Tano River, Tsatsadu River,Volta River , Wawa river,White Volta River ,Wurudu River,Lake Bosumtwi and Sakumono Lagoon inflict the arses of all those who made it possible for the $300 million that Maaaame/Daaavi Ghana spent on the elections to elect a president of our choice to go to nuts, with very very big 'pompors'(boils), so that they will never enjoy the returns of their crimes in comfort.

The so called double registration is not significant enough to overturn the results of the 2012 elections. Why cant't NPP bring/show proof of a significant number of cases of double registration in court to make an impact? The truth is NPP has nothing substantial to overturn the result of 2012 elections.

Further, the so called double registration could have been in favor of NPP but not NDC and so NPP could not come to a conclusion that the mere fact that they can show this as evidence in court implies it favored NDC.

Over 14 million voters were on the voters register and to find a mistake covering only 51 people is no rocket science! Just imagine how Mr. Tsatsu Tsikata exposed the duplication and quadruplication of the disgraceful pink sheets and the equivocal no of pink sheets supposedly given to the registrar of the Supreme Court which NDC is calling wolf of.

The truth be told that the NPP HAS A GARGANTUAN PROBLEM of showimg how the EC "really" COLLUDED WITH THE NDC to rig the elections as being alluded to!!!! One day in court on a question covering only 51 people is not sufficient and adequate to "win" a much more serious case than the hallucination being projected here and there!

Voter registers have always had multiple registrations. The biometric registration was meant to stop this or at least substantially reduced it. This is the first time we have had biometric registration and verification and it we do not leave in an ideal world where everything would have run smoothly at 100%. There was no polling station outside Ghana and the 51 or so entries would not have made a dent in the election results. The number of people who actually voted is millions less than the registered voters.
What the petitioner's counsel has yet to prove is that over voting occurred because the voters register wasn't properly compiled. Did their polling agents encounter multiple voting at any polling station?

Everything na double double ooooh! Errors here errors there error error everywhere! How can we manage a country with every single institution and our leaders making so many errors?? We can't do anything right. So for over 30 years has the EC not been able to improve on the electoral process to avoid or minimise such errors? We live in a country were mediocrity is over looked, any attempt to get people to so the right thing and they call you names and insult you. Seems all past presidents and the present one have been elected by error. EC has just been recycling NDC and NPP every 8 years to keep the politicians and electorates happy and if this case had not come to court, it would have continued with NDC and NPP getting two terms each after every change of Government.

Atari-Gyan committed suicide by asserting that the 2012 elections were the best yet by simply accepting that there was double voting in spite of the biometric verification and other checks. Pride most certainly comets before a fall, for if he had listened to the many dissenting voices about the numerous changes he wanted to introduce within a very short space of time for the 2012 elections including the biometric registration and creation of new constituencies etc he might have got a better grip of events and left office on a professional high. He might have salvaged his reputation if he had given the NPP a day or two to prove their allegations rather than call their bluff and announce the election results on 9th December. He will now be best remembered for all the wrong reasons with a hitherto unblemished career being called into doubt by his own admission that previous elections were even more dubious than the 2012 ones.
The constitution ought to be amended to clip the powers of the EC if Afari-Gyan's admission is anything to go by. I think the man became too arrogant as a result of all the power he weilded and truly believed he was untouchable. Let this be a lesson to other public officials out there who think they are super-men. Viva the rule of law.

What is your evidence(s)? Over-voting? Double registration? Non-signing of pink sheets? Ghost polling stations? Double serial numbers on pink sheets? Or what? Where is your initial claim of rigging by NDC and EC?
All that NPP and their lawyers are doing is what we call try and error. 'Simply try some stupid claim and see if something could come out of it.' Everything NPP has presented so far has very little or no effect at all on the Dec 2012 election results. What effect at all will 5 - 51 double registration have on the final election results. We don't even know if these double registered guys/voters did cast their votes or not. I pity Addison, Bawumia and few others who have been used by Nana Akuffo Addo and Jake to pursue their selfish interest/agenda.

He has been doing this for a long time and gotten away with it.
The stealing starts at registration at all the boarder regions when all there is no real tension from the other political parties and the cards are used on voting day. So the closing of borders at the time of voting is just a waste of time.

Two women friends had gone out for a Girls Night Out, and had been decidedly over-enthusiastic on the cocktails. Incredibly drunk and walking home they suddenly realized they both needed to pee. They were very near a graveyard and one of them suggested they do their business behind a headstone or something. The first woman had nothing to wipe with so she took off her panties, used them and threw them away. Her friend however was wearing an expensive underwear set and didn't want to ruin hers, but was lucky enough to salvage a large ribbon from a wreath that was on a grave and proceeded to wipe herself with it. After finishing, they made their way home.

The next day the first woman's husband phones the other husband and said, "These damn girls nights out have got to stop. My wife came home last night without her panties." "That's nothing," said the other. "Mine came back with a sympathy card stuck between the cheeks of her butt that said, 'From all of us at the Fire Station, Well never forget you!'

Ghana at this rate will never have a perfect voter register. And believe me--the 2016 register will also be bloated.

The SC has to narrow its ruling--so parties can contest constituency results--rather than national results.

Otherwise--every 4 years we will be going through the same mess.

By the way, who is going to appoint the next electoral commissioner?

This stupid and idiomatic man called Afari Gyan will forever live to regret his actions. If he was ever bribed by this demonic NDC, led by Mahama, the 'women bonker',then he together with these crooks should get ready to laugh at the wrong side of their mouths. Today, even the NDC will admit that Addison is the best man. Prior to Tsatsu Tsikata cross-examination of Bawumia, there was so much hue and cry, because of the claim that he's an intelligent lawyer, and was going to nail Bawumia. What happened...his own people were displeased and disappointed because his performance was below average.
