Fake leaders claim thrones without building kingdoms as pepeni has done by murdering mills . today there is another divide and that is the north south whereby these Muslims think its their god given right to plunder and oppress the Akans. Just as pharaoh had pestilence after pestilence , no water , no electricity , no infrastructure , no development, chinese locusts poisoning our lands and waters ,corruption and death everywhere and the people suffer. they are blind to see the will of God and in their selfish fantasies think its a right or their turn to pillage the coffers . they send their chariots or special police and army to try in put fear in the children of God the Akans . we are told their plan is to start shooting first and again blame the Akans so we must now prepare and make sure when they do not a single one leaves alive . we number millions and can never be defeated by your mischievous fools . THe lord has promised us freedom and nobody with their trickery and biased toilet carrying pepeni judges can stop it.It is time to take the children to the villages and prepare to defend ourselves against this evil pepeni , long live the republic of Akan

Ofui, you Trokosi idiot, why don't you think before you talk? So you think Afari Gyan should be left alone to cause his mischief again, right? Even if Mahama won the elections, he himself has confirmed that he was incompetent so why should we retain him? Stop thinking about Akwele with Okro and Keta School Boys when commenting on this forum.

AFARI GYAN'S HAND IN COOKIE JAR
HW3, AFARI DJAN MUST BE JAILED. WAT A DISGRACEFUL HUMAN BEING...ONYAME EHU WOOOOOOOOO!
YET, HE Is STILL LYING. YOUR WIFE HAS CAUGHT U RED HANDED FUCKING ANOTHER WOMAN. YET, U FOLLOW HER IN UR NATIVE SUIT.
TELLING HER, I WAS JUST FUCKING HERE, BUT ITS YOU I LOVE....EEEEIIIII
35 MILLION CEDI NTORO WEI DI3. I NO GO FIT OOOO. PEEP IN GOLD WATCH.
MAHAMA BRIBED AFARI DJAN WITH 35 MILLION CEDIS TO RIG THE ELECTIONS. GO AND ASK JJ RAWLINGS, HE WILL TELL YOU THE TRUTH.
FOLKS, EACH PINK SHEET HAS A UNIQUE NUMBER. THIS NUMBER IS WHAT WE CALL THE SERIAL NUMBER. EACH SERIAL NUMBER IS ASSIGNED TO ONE PINK SHEET.
So if for example pooling station 'A' collects a pink sheet, that number on the pink sheet is solely for that pink sheet ALONE and no other pink sheet must have that same number.
THEREFORE, WHY THEN DO WE HAVE DUPLICATE SERIAL NUMBERS ON MULTIPLE PINK SHEETS? NA WHO CAUSE AM?
AFARI DWAN CAUSE AM, AND HE MUST BE TRIED FOR TREASON. THIS IS GARGANTUAN DAYLIGHT TREASON TO THE NATION STATE GH.
So, it does not matter what name you call it, serial NUMBER or no serial # every single pink sheet must have a distinct number that must be different from all the numbers on all other pink sheets.
As long as the petitioners found that there were duplicate numbers on the pink sheets, that is HIGHLY illegal.
IF YOU FIND THE SAME SERIAL NUMBER ON MULTIPLE CEDI NOTES. WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU? COUNTERFEIT BILLS!
If you find any 2 currencies of a particular denomination with the same number on it, then one is counterfeit. That is what the EC did.
They printed two sets and released them into the system. ONE SET WAS FOR ALL, THE OTHER SET WERE ONLY MARKED FOR NDC.....MUAHAHAHAAAAA
GREAT CID JOB BY THE PETITIONERS. AFARI DJAN, U ARE A DISGRACE. YOUR ILK SHOULD BE EXILED FROM GH FOREVER. NATION WRECKER!
What EC did is a day time robbery! TREASON!
THE SC MUST REMOVE JOHN MAHAMA N GIVE THE MANTLE TO NANA ADDO SOLELY ON THIS PREMISE. NDC SHOULD GO BACK N CLAIM THEIR 35MILL FROM AFARI DJAN.
MAHAMA: WHY ARE ALL UR MINISTERS NON AKANS? IS NDC A TRIBALISTIC PARTY?
ALL AKANS MUST ADVICE THEMSELVES WELL FROM THIS NDC, TRIBALISTIC PARTY....
WHEN NPP WERE BUSY MAKING NHIS, SCH FEEDING FREE FOR ALL GHPPL. NDC/MAHAMA
IS GIVING AWAY FREE COMPUTERS WITH HIS FACE ON THE BOXES, LIKE SANTA CLAUS. WHY DONT U MAKE
EDUCATION FREE FOR THE KIDDIES?
MAHAMA HAS 24 KIDDIES AND COUNTING, WITH 13 WOMEN AND COUNTING...MAHAMA SAYS HE IS A CHRISTIAN. REALLY, WITH ALL THESE WOMEN?
THE BIBLE WILL EVEN TELL YOU. DONT TRUST A WOMANIZER!

That about the party reps who signed the results before given to Afari Gjan as authentic?. The results are recorded and signed at polling station, the collation centre, the district level, the regional level before the strong room where the party reps also sign. Afari Gyan is the las person to see the results. Kwabena Agyepong was there, Agyarkp and others were there. I pity this country of ours because the intellectuals are very dishonest.

AFARI DJAN HAS LOST HIS CREDIBILITY IN CONDUCTING ANY ELECTION IN GHANA. HE IS A TOTAL DISGRACE TO GHANAIAN SOCIETY. HAD IT NOT BEEN ABUNDANT WISDOM THAT HAVE BATHED THE BIBLICAL JEWS(AKANS) GHANA WOULD HAVE BEEN SET ABLAZE BY NOW. THEREFORE WE ALL MUST BE CHEERFUL AND EMULATE THE EXCELLENT CONDUCT SOME GHANAIANS HAVE SHOWN THE WORLD ESPECIALLY THE LEADER AND STOP BEING HYPOCRITE.
IN FACT IT IS CLEARLY PROVEN BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT THAT OF THE TRUTH THIS MAN, NANA ADDO DANKWA AKUFO-ADDO WITHOUT DOUBT IS GENUINE MAN OF PEACE. ALL RENOWNED AND MOST RESPECTED WORLD LEADERS APPLAUSE AND RESPECT HIM FOR HIS ACTIONS AND REACTION AFTER THE ELECTION. HE HAS PROVED THAT HE IS MATURED, WISER, INTELLIGENT AND ABOVE ALL FULL OF RULE OF LAW. THEREFORE WE ALL MUST APPLAUSE HIM FOR THE CALM WAY HE HAS HANDLED THE CASE.
MR JOHN DRAMANI MAHAMA REMEMBER THE ADVICE YOU RECEIVED WHEN YOU WERE INVITED FOR INDOOR TALK WITH THE LEADERS OF G20. ABIDE BY IT AND REFRAIN FROM HYPOCRITICAL BEHAVIORS. THEREFORE RESPECT RULE OF LAW, LEARN AND COPY GOOD THINGS FROM OLD AGE FOR YOU TO LIVE LONGER.

JOHN DRAMANI MAHAMA, THE NORTHERNER, READ ABOUT ''THE TECUMSEH'S CURSE ON AMERICA'' IF YOU WANT TO BE A PRESIDENT BY FOUL AND DODGY MEANS.

TO THE JUDGES I SAY '' READ DANIEL CHAPTER 13'' FROM CATHOLIC OR ETHIOPIC BIBLE AND LEARN THE FATE OF THE JUDGES WHO TOOK BRIBE AND MADE BIASED JUDGEMENT. ANY JUDGE WHO WILL TAKE BRIBE OR USE FAVORITISM BECAUSE OF TRIBAL LINE OR BECAUSE OF PARTY AFFILIATIONS AND MAKE UNFAIR JUDGEMENT IN THE ELECTION PETITION CASE SHALL INVOKE GENERATIONAL CURSE UPON HIS/HER DESCENDANTS AND ALL THOSE WHO WILL HAVE SHARE IN THE MONEY.
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WORLDWIDE BOTH HIGHLY EDUCATED AND ILLITERATE WATCHED AND HEARD WHAT WENT WRONG DURING THE 2012 ELECTION ON TV, THEREFORE DEAR BELOVED JUDGES APPLY THE LAW AND MAKE FAIR AND SOUND JUDGEMENT.

I AM VERY OPTIMISTIC THAT WITH ALL MANNER OF LIFE IF JUSTICE PREVAILS THERE WILL SURELY BE PEACE AND SOUND MIND.
IF NDC LOSE THE HEARING OF THIS ELECTION PETITION CASE THERE WILL BE NO QUALM OF JUDICIAL REVIEW BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO EVIDENCE TO PROVE IN COURT.
LONG LIVE GHANA, LONG LIVE RULE OF LAW , LONG LIVE THE GENUINE WINNER.

The SC has no other option than to uphold the results declared by EC's boss,Dr Afari Gyan.The élections have not been proven to be fraud or rigged in anyway for anybody in court.The President and NDC have not been involved in any irregularity at least.Therefore,it will be unconstitutional to remove a democratic elected president from office because somebody is not satisfied with the results.This is tantamount to coup d'état,just look at what is happening in Egypt.Besides,the pink sheets are not credible and solid enough to warrant any changes because the evidence carries tons of errors even more than the élections.The presentation of the petition was poorly managed,the quantity of pink sheets was mysterious and mislabelling of exhibits etc is enough to quench the case right there.Whatever the case,this weak evidence is not enought to overturn the declared results at all.Let's be objective,you cannot come from nowhere and ask the SC to remove a legitimate President of the Republic from power with this stupid petition.Thank you.

1. were there irregularities?
2. If there were, did it affect the results of the elections?
The burden lies on the petitioners to prove that the so-call irregularities affected the results-i.e. how did the irregularities benefit Mahama, and negatively affected Nana? i think all the parties were equally affected by the irregularities- Presiding officers not signing pink sheets,voting without verification,same serial numbers,unknown polling stations.

Those who think there is going to be a re-run are living in fairyland. It is evidently clear that the petitioners failed woefully to prove their case. How could you go to court with such a weak evidence and expect the court to rule in your favour. It does't surprise me when folks of the loosing party talk about boldness. In justice, I don't think any judge need boldness to pass judgement. What a judge need is the evident before him, except that the judge in question is corrupt. For once, I think they would do the right thing by looking at the evidence before them. As for Dr Afari Gyan, he has done nothing wrong. He would be presiding over elections for many years to come unless he chose to retire before his time.

Only one option from the 3 is feasible.
OPTION 3: As the writer has analysed, option 3 ie a re-run will bring doom. First Afari Gyan and his entire senior staff of the EC cannot preside over it. Also, President Mahama ceases to be president. He will have to hand over to a transition team who will have to appoint another Electoral Commissioner who will appoint new presiding officers and train them so that this time, they will make no statutory malpractices, omissions, violations and irregularities. There is no guarantee that when the new EC declares the results of a re-run election it will be accepted by the loser for us to have another petition all over again. Finally, the EC will have to be given hundreds of millions of Ghana cedis from the distressed national coffers to organise the re-election.
2. Option 2. A greater doom will befall this country if the SC declares Akufo Addo the winner of the December election. It would mean that someone, who has lost an election unanimously described by all the numerous observers inside and outside Ghana, rubbished the EC's compilation, made his own compilation by cancelling millions of valid votes from his opponent's strongholds and this surprisingly received the SC's endorsement. I cannot figure out how President Mahama will agree to handover to such a person. This is impossible. Such a judgment will throw this country into an abyss. I don't think the SC judges can be so callous. So this option is out.
Option 1. The only viable option is to let the status quo remain. Akufo Addo and his supporters must come to terms with the fact that he lost the election and prepare for 2016 which is just around the corner.

History too has recorded that, "You shit in your pant in the court-room while you were in the witness box".

The verdict is clear and logic,the electorate of Ghana voted massively for Prez Mahama to rule for 4 good years and perhaps another term of 4 years later.Out of the 7 losers,only Nana Addo says that the élections was fraud and was rigged for Prez Mahama.When Nana Addo went to court with his mountain of pink sheets,none of them proved any fraud or rigging.Ofcourse,there were some clerical mistakes just like the petition but cannot affect the results,the will of the people.The petitioners could not show anywhere the EC padded votes for Mahama,there were no NDC footsoldiers misbehaving anywhere,so where is the fraud in all this?I think the SC will logically uphold the declared results by EC's boss Dr Afari Gyan.Thank you.

We'll all be dead if we allow Afari-Gyan to get new the EC. The man is heading for Nsawam, so why should we allow him to cause another havoc before he get's to his new residence?

If the commission is a legal entity then is it not separate from the commissioner?in any case what did Atari gyan do wrong as a commissioner.attempting to spell out his basic duty on election day,I will say that he waits for all the results to be returned to the commission through faxes to the so called strong room.those results are then forwarded to him to sign and declare the results. Is it the case that he did not sign before declaring the results as in the case of certain presiding officers?
in succinct,would want to say that Dr Afari gyan has not been accused of doing a thing wrong and if any it had not been proved any where in the 48 days or so trail.
Should there be a run off,I think he should and must be allowed to supervise it as long as he remained the commissioner.

His credibility is so shattered that even a class one child will not permit Afari Djan to go close to a pooling station, talk less of being allowed to hold a ballot box.What a shame!

GHANA HAS A MULTITUDE OF PRESSING ECONOMIC, NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND OTHER POVERTY ISSUES CONFRONTING ORDINARY GHANAIANS, SO THIS OBSESSION WITH THAT ELECTION PETITION NONSENSE IS MIND-BOGGLING.

EVEN MORE MIND-BOGGLING IS WHEN POOR ORDINARY GHANAIANS HAVE JOINED THE FRAY.

GHANAIAN "LEADERS" ARE SIMPLY DISTRACTING ATTENTION AWAY FROM THEIR USELESSNESS AND FAILURE TO GROW THE COUNTRY'S ECONOMY, USING THIS ELECTION PETITION NONSENSE AS A FACADE.

WHOEVER WINS THIS PETITION NONSENSE WILL NEVER CHANGE ANYTHING IN GHANA,

MARK MY WORDS!!

GHANAIANS ARE GENERALLY VERY NAIVE, WITH, OF COURSE, VERY SHORT MEMORIES.

THEY THOUGHT GHANA'S CRUDE OIL FIND WILL EXTRICATE THE NATION FROM GRINDING POVERTY WHEN ATTA-MILLS TURNED ON THE VALVE TO MARK GHANA'S STATUS AS "AN OIL EXPORTING" COUNTRY.

WHAT HAVE GHANAIANS SEEN SINCE THEN? EVEN WORSE ECONOMIC CONDITIONS.

AS LONG AS GHANA IS IN AFRICA THE DARK CONTINENT, AND OUR "LEADERS" CONTINUE TO BE LAZY AND CLUELESS WITH THE BLACKMAN'S MINSET, POOR GHANAIANS WILL CONTINUE TO STAY WHERE WE ARE.

INFACT, THE LOOTING OF GHANA WILL ASSUME EVEN MORE ALARMING PROPORTIONS, AS BOTH SIDES WILL CERTAINLY GINGER THEMSELVES UP TO LOOT THE NATION EVEN MORE, TO MAKE UP FOR THEIR LOSS OF TIME AND MONEY.

MARK MY WORDS!!!!

WE SHALL ALL SWIM IN THE SHIT CREATED BY GHANA'S USELESS LEADERS, NPP & NDC.

Afari Gyan should be banned immediately after the verdict from going anywhere near the Electoral Commission.Whether retired or not.He deserves to spend the end of his life in prison!

At this point the concerned citizen abroad will like the GOV,security agencies knows that, they should do everything in their power to protect life and properties at this difficult time. We urge the security to keep their eyes on Nana addo the inventor of all die be die slogan, kennedy agyapong another inventor of akan's should kill the Ga's and Ewe's and lynch any security officers, Kabo the former npp youth leader and jihadist agent in Ghana,also former convicts Hopeson adorye , sir, ugly john and sammy awuku the list go on and on. The securities should declare these people and put them on RED ALERT,their CELL-PHONE lines should be taped, any wrong move by this dangerous individuals in our society should be arrested without delay.This message was approved by the Concerned Citizens Abroad. GOD, CONTINUE TO BLESS GHANA.

Ghana has no time for sore losers. We won't rerun and the results still stands. The notion of rerun is a propaganda for the loser who has no chance of sniffing power

If there is a public official that has lost the confidence of the Ghanaian it's Kojo 'go to court' Afari Djan. He's so corrupt that he makes Mahama look like a saint!
