How many time did he need to repeat himself like a dog chasing its own tail: " The case lacked merit from the beginning…In all honesty, I am very very surprised that this case was not completely thrown out. I am shocked that this case was not completely thrown out because it lacked merit. There was no merit.”.

Kokonsa and leading mischief instigator will want to pride himself as a mover and shaker of events in Ghana, when in fact he is just Kokonsa yellow journalist. One of these days you gonna smell real pepper, Kwesi Opete.

He knows it all, he knows better than the 9 Judges. Too known. Whatever agenda he has we live to see, because he led Tsatsu Tsikata to lambast Justice Anim-Yeboah in another radio station and now he is has taken over himself at Radio Gold. Before one can make such statement you need to study the reasons for the Judges, but not Kwesi Pratt he thinks he even knows better than the Judges.

Naturally there is nothing wrong about the statement of Kwesi Pratt, that is why the court at the end of everything kicked the case out. By the way, Kwesi, you do not have to blame the court for not kicking out the case earlier because, the NPP were prepared for war hence consideration was given to the case so that the rational people in Ghana can see and understand, just like the way everything came to an end, [case thrown out of court].

Now who can instigate fighting?, no proof anymore to charge the supporters of the NPP to cause trouble in the system. I personally believe that the court knows they do not have solid case but the judges who were for the progress of Ghana used wisdom to handle this petition.

If anybody wants to see the reality that NPP had no case, then that person should go the www.youtube.com and study the final address of Lawyer Addison to the court, and there you will frankly see how he struggle to prove things right, there was nervousness all over his face, and even he had to be asked to stop because time was against him. Also watch the cool recations of the rest of the lawyers and their addresses to the same court and you will see that the NPP forced to prove what is not real, because their case lacked merit Period, there is no need for further arguments, and that was why Akuffo Addo gave up, which is a perfect decision made out of intelligence, since he is a lawyer as well. The case in reality was without merit as Kwesi Pratt put it.

Kwasi Pratt doesn't understand democracy, it is as simple as that. The judges did their job, whether they were perfect or not, time will tell. In a normal judiciary process, every case must be heard and instructed whether it has substance or not. THe very fact that this case had the attention it had, shows how Ghanaians want democracy to be a serious word. Pratt is worried because judges were threatened, he should understand that it is part of the game! It is not because their lives are threatened that they should abandon their job. Afterall those guys have their free housing and their posh cars at the expense of the ordinary cocoa farmers and those who labour to give Ghana foreign exchange and who are left to rot in their poverty. Pratt's reading of democracy is an archaic imperial one in which the elite misuse the masses and master to them. He should be sent to the forest to weed instead of staying in Accra and saying his nonsense. Come to the West and learn the humility of those in the helms of affairs to their people. A judge is not GOD and neither is the President. They can take insults if they misbehave themselves and don't serve their people well.

What a rented brain! I thought I was reading a silly poem from Pratt, the malicious maverick and mendacious muckraker. The tone of this dramatic theme of a clearly mischievous write up sounds like a recital of a kindergarten pupil rehearsing to perform on a campaign platform of propaganda NDC. All that any sane person can deduce from this piece is that Kayayo Kwesi Pratt is trying to carry the tones of load of garbage being piled on the Vice President Amissah Arthur for his infamous comment of a 9-0 verdict he was expecting in favor of The Stealers. How on earth can any serious analyst, if not a useful idiot, childishly display such an ignominy on the altar of public intellectual discourse on such a meritorious petition of classic democratic standards which is likely to become a case study for today, tomorrow and the law students of the generation unborn across the black continent if not the world at large. Renting your brains to political capos is a serious canker that will one day bring our nation to its begging knees if nothing is done about it. It is so sad to see the once respected Kwesi Pratt winning and dinning with the likes of disrespectful Peter Boamah Otukono et al. Indeed money is truly the root of all evil. Mr. Pratt is clearly turning into an evil monster.

Akufo knew that it is only the act of voting in an election that is sacrosant. Pink sheets and all others are administrative and subject to errors. Yet his personal ambition,desperation and support from blood thirsty elephants who want to continue with Kufour's LOOTING pushed him to go to court. He realized in the end that IT IS HIN NAME THAT WILL BE ON THE LIPS OF ALL GHANAIANS AND THE REST OF THE WORLD THAT HE IS A BLOODY REBEL LEADER. That would not be good for him so he had no choice than to concede defeat and congratulate the President without discussing the matter with any of the hawks in the party

Yes, indeed, the case lacks merit and was frivolous, many of us, including some level-headed and honest NPP supporters had said from the very beginning and continue to say. But, we must blame first the EC for making this case go to court. Had he given them a day or two extra to listen to their complaints and whingeing about imaginary wrongs and clearly palpable ones rather than telling them to Go To Court, we might just had been saved from this charade, a real circus as I predicted in my article published on the subject. Yes, others had argued that, as serial complainers after losing elections, they would still have gone to court anyway, but I doubt that. Would they have gone to court to complain that Pink Sheet duplicates were not signed if Dr. Afari Gyan had shown them the originals which were signed, if indeed they were signed?

Then we have to blame the NDC leaders, esp. their lawyers, for the prolongation of the case. They chose to showboat and indulge in a whimsical charade of their own as a mode of defence, instead of pursuing a legalistic defence of the case which would have called for the dismissal of the case based on legal arguments citing precedents all over the world. That failure to pursue a technically legalistic approach to the case and rather trying to punch holes in the NPP's evidence, some of them unassailable and thus doing that very clumsily at times - all that Pink Sheet perusal nonsense Tsatsu was indulging in - prolonged the case and allowed some of the judges to ignore the legal ramifications of the case and upheld some of the outrageous reliefs of the petitioners. How on earth can anyone elevate Afari Gyan's statement of NBVNV over the constitution and the laws of the country????? Is his words the law or the Constitution that grant the citizens the right to vote without specifying any condition of barometric verification???? It is bloody murder of the Const.!

Anyway, the case is over and it has been rightfully dismissed by even some of the most NPP-leaning judges. It was a foolish case from the very beginning and no amount of post-elections insults and claims can change that verdict! The case should have been dismissed 9-0 by all the justices with their observations to reform the electoral system to mitigate the flaws in future elections!

I can do that single-handedly what all of them have failed!

1. I expect the EC to start the prosecution of all the wayward Returning Officers who indulged in malpractices such as collecting money but not training assistants as required and hiring untrained relatives and friends to mess up big time.

2. Parliament to enact a CI which mandates the EC to withhold the release of a result for a period of 3-5 days once a complaint has been made by a candidate until a constituted panel of reps of all the contesting parties presided over by a high court judge had looked into the complaint.

3.

Are you that naive? The parables is UP/NPP and their song rings "our way or the highway." So, Dr. Afari Gyan could have given them until the end of this century and they will still match to court at the end of it all, trust me.

If the EC had waited, the NPP would have delayed or protracted the announcement of which party won the elections. All they (NPP) wanted, was a rerun, period. Delaying means forcing a rerun and hoping to win at all cost.

It was correct in every regard for the EC to have announced the winner immediately. EC did not not have to play into the hands of the NPP.

Their image in already tarnished; come 2016, the NPP will still lose the election. They can white-wash the flag-bearer (Nana Addo Danquah) but to no avail. Changing the flagbeare to another person will also not help, the die is already cast for 2016. NPP will be in opposition for a long time. Nana Addo is fake and will continue to be fake.

Can you imagine demonstrations with placards reading "SHOW US YOUR LAW CERTIFICATE" when Nana becomes the president and attending international conferences, please advise the elephant to go and rest quietly in the bush. Tell him it is time to attend to his grand parents, no more politics - he is capable of pushing strollers in the park with his grand parents. Ghana needs peace.

Andy-K, Dr Afari-Gyan gave NPP ample time to lodge complaints and produce relevant evidence. Npp could only produce partial evidence relating to 7 constituencies. The EC looked into the complaints and dismissed them for want of evidence. Remember that, prior to this, NPP had the opportunity to lodge complaints at the polling stations and every level of compilation and collation of the ballot.

On point 1, I do not know of any returning Officers abusing money meant for training assistants. I would ask the EC to review and revamp its training procedures.

I do not accept point 2. The EC is the only body mandated by the constitution to conduct elections and declare results. We should make it mandatory for any complaints about the elections to be addressed to the EC. Petitions to the SC should only be on legal issues i.e it should be a judicial review. This should be time limited to stop wasting the time of the nation.

The President of the panel, Mr Atuguba should have recluse himself in the first place as his nephew or cousin is the Executive Secretary to Mr. Mahama but knowing his agenda in the long run he chose to stay in the panel to give a poor judgment on his part which is a total disgrace to him.

So this guy thinks he is smarter than the justice system. These type of people are a threat to democracy.Judiciary decisions are not based on subjective assumptions but by evidence presented , technicalities, law and the interpretation of the law etc etc.How do we know who is right or wrong without evidence and a hearing.In a democratic society, every one needs to heard , whether it an a individual , a group or a political party. For a newspaper editor, he neeeds to be open-minded unless he only addressing his political affiliates.

documentThe following is the full transcript of former South African President Thabo Mbeki's lecture at UNISA's Thabo Mbeki African Leadership Institute (TMALI). Delivered in Tshwane on August 23, 2013.I had thought that you had started yesterday, but I was told only when I arrived here 15 minutes ago that actually you didn't. I hope that doesn't signify that as Africans we are always late.We had agreed that I would speak at the opening of your symposium, because I had to go to Zimbabwe yesterday to participate at the ceremony of the inauguration of President Mugabe as President of Zimbabwe, I'm told that this was the seventh as President and more if you include his Prime Ministership.The Zimbabweans insisted that I should come, and I agreed with them because they were saying that the inauguration marked the end of the Global Political Agreement which they signed in 2008 in whose evolution we had played a part.So, I am saying all of this to apologise for speaking to you in the evening rather than in the morning.oBut I really like to say to thank you very much for agreeing to participate in this symposium to look at this every important issue, the issue about solutions to Africa's development. It is indeed very important that as Africans we must focus on all of this and mobilise the intellectual capital that exists among ourselves to answer this question.What the principal was saying about the last Nelson Mandela Lecture here by Mo Ibrahim raising questions of leadership on the continent, those remarks were correct. I think this is an important part of our challenge as Africans, ourselves to find the solutions to Africa's development.I don't know how many of our leaders on the continent read books. I am sure some of them do - well apart from the Bible and the Quran, other books - but I think we have to produce these books because there are other Africans who read books.So as we meet at this symposium to look at what we do, we say as African thought leaders asking about where should we be tomorrow, it is important that we have to do this. There is nobody else to do it for us.The people who have done this for us in the past, and they are many, have said who are these Africans? What are they? What's their past? Where should they be tomorrow? Other people have said that about us. And what has it produced? Disaster! A disaster from which we should rescue ourselves.I was saying that yesterday, I was in Zimbabwe for the inauguration of President Mugabe. I don't know who among us here, what opinions we have about Zimbabwe, but there are certain things which worry me greatly about Zimbabwe.With regard to the last elections, one of the things that worried me was a very intense and sustained campaign to discredit the elections before they took place, very sustained and very intense. So I was saying to myself, 'Why?' And I could see quite clearly that the intention was in the event that the elections resulted in the victory of President Mugabe and Zanu PF, they would obviously be unfair. In the event that they resulted in the election of Morgan Tsvangirai and the MDC, then they would be free and fair. That was the intention.Although it didn't surprise me, what disturbed me was that many among us Africans seemed to buy into the story that was being told. And so I was saying to myself that this is very worrying because what it means is that we, as Africans, don't know enough about ourselves and continue to be enslaved by a narrative about ourselves told by other people.Any African, anybody following events in Zimbabwe for some time, would not have been surprised at the election results, not in the least, and indeed some of the people who were communicating these negative messages about the elections before they took place, even some of them actually predicted what would happen: that a particular politics of Zimbabwe meant we would have a particular outcome.There is an old friend of mine in Zimbabwe, another intellectual like yourselves, I won't mention his name. Shortly before the elections he says, publicly, the MDC is going to sweep in its major victory in the rural areas of Zimbabwe. So I read this thing, and I said: 'But what's wrong with him?' I haven't spoken to him for some time, but I am going to ask him that question. I said, 'What's wrong with him?' You could never make a prediction like that if you knew what's been happening in the Zimbabwean rural areas in the last 10 years.Many years ago and as part of the leadership in this region, we engaged the Zimbabwean leadership - President Mugabe and others - in a very sustained process to discourage them from the manner in which they were handling the issue of land reform. We were saying to them, 'Yes indeed we agree, the land reform is necessary, but the way in which you are handling it is wrong.' We tried very hard, 'No, no you see all of these things about the occupation of the farms by the war veterans, this and that and the other, all of this is wrong', that's what we were saying. But fortunately the Zimbabweans didn't listen to us, they went ahead.The consequence of it is that, I have looked at at least four books that have been written about the land reform in Zimbabwe, all of which say in fact the process of land reform in Zimbabwe has given land to at least 300-400,000 new land owners, the peasants of Zimbabwe at last own the land. The programme succeeded and has this direct benefit on these huge numbers of Zimbabweans. And so I found it very strange that this intellectual friend of mine could say the MDC would win the elections in the rural areas. They couldn't, essentially because they were identified by that rural population to have opposed land reform, rightly or wrongly. We can discuss that.The point I am making is that we still have a challenge to understand our own reality, and I am using the example of Zimbabwe to say that I have a sense that even with regards to this issue, which for some reason for years has been a major issue in the international media and politics and so on, that even we as Africans still have not quite understood Zimbabwe. I think it's your task to change that, so that we understand ourselves better.I think we should also ask ourselves the question: Why is Zimbabwe such a major issue for some people? Zimbabwe is a small country by any standard, there is no particular reason why Zimbabwe should be a matter to which the New York Times, the London Guardian and whoever else... why are they paying so much attention to Zimbabwe? Why?I know why they pay particular attention to us, because they explained it, they said 'You have too many white people in South Africa. We are concerned about their future. They are our kith and kin. We are worried about what you would do to them, so we keep a very close eye on what happens.' So we understand, we may not agree with the thinking, but we understand.But I am saying why this focus on Zimbabwe? Towards the end of last year, they asked me to speak at a conference on Zimbabwe diamonds. So I went, and what surprised me about the conference held at Victoria Falls was that everybody and anybody who has anything to do with diamonds in the world was there. From America, from Israel, from India, from Brussels - everybody. It was not about diamonds in the world, it was about Zimbabwe diamonds. So I was puzzled, saying but why have they all come?Maybe two hours before we left the conference to come back, we sat in a session which was addressed by one of the Indian diamond people. In the course of his presentation, he explained why; he gave an answer to this query in my head. He said in a few years' time, Zimbabwe will account for 25 percent of world production of diamonds. So I said, 'I now understand. I understand why everybody is here.'But I think the reason there has been this kind of focus on Zimbabwe is that for many years now, the political leadership in Zimbabwe have been communicating a message which many among the powerful players in the world find unacceptable.I was saying earlier that we opposed, we tried to discourage Zimbabweans from taking the particular steps they took with regard to land reform, acknowledging that it was indeed necessary to have land reform, and I was saying they ignored us. It is, I think, exactly the manner in which they came at that question of land reform that offended other forces in the world who said, 'This is wrong, we don't like it'. And unlike us who said, 'Well, they are not listening. They have done what they want to do about their country, we have to accept that', these others said, 'They have set a bad example which we don't want anybody else in Africa and the rest of the world to follow, so they must pay a price for setting a bad example.' Bad example, bad in the instance of the interests of these other people, not bad in terms of the interests of the people of Zimbabwe.So, I think this is part of the reason that there is so much attention, globally, to a country on the continent which is actually in itself - never mind the diamonds - is not that particularly important, but is important because it is setting, in the minds of some, a bad example which must be defeated. But principally are we as intellectuals telling that story? Are we explaining that, in the first instance to ourselves so that we know what is the correct position to take in our own interests; in own defence? My sense is that we are not doing it, we are not explaining why, what is this enormous interest in a small African country here in Southern Africa which really basically - I can't think of any particular reason why it would have such enormous, global, geo-strategic importance, but it has. Why?You know, all of us know, the African Union and SADC among others, deployed large numbers of observers for these recent [July 31, 2013] elections. The African Union even had placed its observers there at least a month ahead of the elections. This was to ensure... I don't think, at least I know of no deployment of African observers of this size because between the AU and SADC, just those two, I think they had at least a thousand observers. I know of no instance when the continent has deployed that kind of number - it is because of this concern about Zimbabwe in particular. And both observer teams have essentially said the elections were peaceful and everybody agrees about that; and they have said the elections were free, and that they represent the opinion of the people of Zimbabwe.SADC have said they need a bit of time to look at the matter of the fairness of the elections. 'Yes indeed the elections are credible, they represent the views of the people of Zimbabwe'. The reason SADC observers said that they want to look at this is because they want to look at it in detail and say, for instance, was the media coverage of the contending parties, was it fair and balanced? They may make a determination about that and say it was not fair or fair. Was the location of voting stations done in such a way that it would ensure equal access, relatively is the access between rural and urban areas? They will make a determination about that.They are not questioning the credibility of the elections, but want to look at this matter about what is meant by 'fair' in order to ensure that as a continent when we do indeed conduct elections in future we have some standards to follow in terms of what will constitute this element of 'fair'. So they decided to leave a residual group in Zimbabwe to look at that question, and the AU agreed to join them, left another group there to do that, which is fine.I was talking three-four days ago to a member of the executive of the SADC Lawyers Association which includes all the lawyers in this region and their law societies and this and that and the other. They decided to send an observer team to Zimbabwe, which they did. They have done their report and I have asked for a copy but they said they would send it. But what they are telling me is that one of the things that surprised them was that as soon as they made that announcement that they would be deploying an observer team in Zimbabwe, out of the blue, completely unsolicited, they got huge offers of money from the United States to say, "Look, we want to pay for your observer mission." And they say that we never asked for this money, we had never ever been in contact with these people, we don't know how they got to know that we were going to do this, but were very, very happy to support us with huge sums of money. But we said, 'No', we refused. We said, 'No, we will finance ourselves'. The reason we did it was because we knew that if we accepted that money, then we would have to produce a report consistent with the views of the paymaster, so we said, 'No'.Now, the very strange thing at the end of this story which I am telling you... Well, let me say, what the Zimbabwe government did was of course to refuse that organisations like the EU which have imposed sanctions against Zimbabwe, countries like the US which have imposed sanctions on Zimbabwe, should have election observers for the natural and I think logical reason that, 'You declared yourselves as an enemy, in what way would you then send observers who are going to be objective in terms of observing these elections, please don't come.' I think they were right. Nevertheless, they said all the countries that have embassies in Zimbabwe, the embassies are free to observe the elections, which they did. African, European, Asian - all of them.But I am saying one of the strange things is that you have the entire continent in terms of its credible and legitimate institutions say, 'Yes indeed there were problems, and we are going to detail those problems, but these elections represent the will of the people of Zimbabwe.' Then you have an alternative voice in Washington, London and Brussels which says, 'No, you Africans are wrong.' How does that happen? Why this absolute contempt for the view of the Africans about themselves?I was saying just these two organisations, the AU and SADC, had at least a thousand observers in Zimbabwe - I am not talking about others, even the African Caribbean and Pacific Community had an observer team there, I am not talking about those - watched this process. When the chair of the AU Commission was in Harare and talked to all the political leaders, she said none of them have raised any issues about serious problems with the elections, they hadn't. And yet when all of these Africans say, 'Yes problems, we will tell you what these problems were, but the result presents a credible view of the Zimbabweans,' you have people in America and Europe who say the Africans are wrong. Why? Maybe because the Africans are stupid? The Africans can't count... or something?The latest SADC summit has just taken place in Malawi, in Lilongwe. In the days before the summit, during the summit, the British government were putting pressure on the government of Malawi to persuade the summit that there should be an audit done of the Zimbabwean elections.The MDC decided to go to court in Zimbabwe to contest, as you know, the elections. And then suddenly withdrew the petition. Personally, I was very pleased that they submitted the petition, because it would give a possibility actually to look in detail at all the allegations that have been made about what went wrong with the election. I was quite upset when they said they are withdrawing the petition, because it denied us the possibility to do this thing. But later, I understood why they withdrew, because even in the petition they made various allegations and did not submit to the court any document to substantiate any of the allegations.At some point during this electoral process, the British ambassador to Zimbabwe spoke to one of the British television channels, and said in one constituency, 17,000 people voted of whom 10,000 were assisted to vote. Now, this is allowed in terms of Zimbabwean processes if you are illiterate, you might be old, you might be blind - whatever - that the people at the voting station can assist you. You come and say, 'Look, I can't read but I like Morgan Tsvangirai, please tick for me where it says Morgan Tsvangirai,' that's assisted voting which is allowed.So, the British ambassador says here was this one constituency, 17,000 voters 10,000 of whom were assisted - so many - but she doesn't identify the constituency, up to today. Morgan, in his affidavit to the Constitutional Court, includes this... 'There was a constituency where 17,000 people voted, 10,000 of whom were assisted voters'. He doesn't identify the constituency like the British ambassador.In the end, I can say (inaudible name) is a very ugly fellow, but if I accuse him of that in court I should prove it. And that became a problem. So, we still don't know what was the substance, what is the substance of all the allegations made which Washington and London and Brussels have used to say the elections were not credible. We don't know. In reality, the only reason they were not credible is because Robert Mugabe got elected. That's all.I am using this, all of this talking about Zimbabwe, as an example about our continent because all of these things I am saying relating to Zimbabwe you can find the same similar examples on the continent, but we are not challenging it as intellectuals. We are not challenging a narrative, a perspective about our continent which is wrong and self-serving in terms of the interests of other people.The Zimbabweans now are talking about indigenisation and I can see that there is a big storm brewing about indigenisation. But what is wrong with indigenisation? What is wrong with saying, 'Here we are as Africans, with all our resources. Sure, we are ready and very willing to interact with the rest of the world about the exploitation of all these resources, but what is the indigenous benefit from the exploitation of these, and even the control?'You have seen examples of this, all of us have, when Chinese companies in terms of all this theory about free markets, have sought to acquire US firms, they get prohibited. 'No indigenisation of US intellectual property. We can't allow it to be owned by the Chinese, so, No!' When the Africans say 'indigenisation', why is this a strange notion and yet when we talk about solutions to Africa's development one of the issues that we have to address is exactly this indigenisation? How are we utilising our resources to impact positively on African development?I am saying that because I can see that there is a cloud that is building up somewhere on the horizon when Zimbabweans say 'indigenisation'. But we have to, as intellectuals and thought leaders, we have got to address that and say, 'Yes indeed as Africans we are concerned about our own renaissance, our own development, and we must as indigenous people make sure that we have control of our development, our future and that includes our resources, and therefore indigenisation is correct.' We must demonstrate it even intellectually, which I am quite sure we can.I wasn't intending to speak for so long, but as you can see I get very, very agitated about Zimbabwe because it's very, very clear that the offensive against Zimbabwe is an offensive against the rest of the continent and what has facilitated that offensive is indeed wrong things that Zimbabweans have done. They have done wrong things, they have acted in ways that have been incorrect, so it has been possible for some people to stand up and say, 'Look, look, look there is a violation of democracy and human rights', and all of us say, 'Yes, yes, yes what they did there was not quite right.'But all of us make mistakes, we have made mistakes here [in South Africa], but they have been used, those mistakes, to mount a particular offensive against Zimbabwe... that offensive is not in the first instance about Zimbabwe, it's about the future of our continent. So the Zimbabweans have been in the frontline in terms of defending our right as Africans to determine our future, and they are paying a price for that. I think it is our responsibility as African intellectuals to join them, the Zimbabweans, to say, 'No!'We have a common responsibility as Africans to determine our destiny and are quite ready to stand up against anybody else who thinks that, 'Never mind what the thousand African observers say about elections in Zimbabwe, we sitting in Washington and London are wiser than they are. They say the elections were credible, we say that they are very foolish, those elections were not.' We stand up as Africans to see an end, and really an end, to that contempt for African thought! We have to, if we don't, this development we are talking about will not happen.

Kwasi Pratt has never hidden his hatred for NPP and has always said that he would do anything possible to discredit NPP and to prevent them coming back to power.

I find it rather irritating that some people suggest that NPP is to blame for allowing the case to travel for 8 months. The sc and the respondents cannot escape blame. If the SC had sat through weekends and holidays this case could have ended months earlier. The respondents and some supporters cannot escape blame for trying to join the case and not forgetting the amicus curiae nonsense.

I just Kwasi Pratt to know that the majority of the judges did grant one relief or the other sought by the petitioners. It is clear that the petitioners case has been dismissed by a mere technicality and I can defend this.

Nothing To Say But Wanted To Be Heard. The World Is By-Passing Him. Not Even A Paper Tiger Any more. Ghana Democracy Will Be Strenghened By The Court Case And Its Judgement. A Divided Country By The Election Outcome At The Time Could Have Led To Extreme Tribalism And Mayhem. Forget About NDC And NPP Politics Because People Will Always End Up Getting Territorial.

This guy should be censured and not allowed to be a journalist. This case will set bad precedent for the rest of Africa. No Africa country will ever go to court to dispute elections and thus will use whatever means including violence to win elections. Democracy in Ghana and the rest of Africa was killed on August 29th, 2013. What a shame!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kwesi, with all the current goings do you now see the wisdon in the SC dealing with the matter and was not thrown out one touch as you expected? In their bid to disgrace Nana, his co petitioners and NPP as a whole, the truth is now out that the SC ruling was engineered by Tsatsu who will also write their opinion for them. Why should we worry about Tsatsu for all the filth he is putting out. Now it is clear the SC ruling was political and NDC did all it can to achieve that. Indeed God works in mysterious ways. The bibile says "Do not curse the king even in your room, else the bird of the air will carry the matter to him" Folks God caused Tsatsu to say what he said so we will all know the real basis for the ruling. Thanks to Tsatsu, we now know that he is demented just like his kinsman Kpegah who is breathing fire and brimstone on the neck of Nana Akuffo Addo. What has Nana done to Ewes and Northerners?

you see who the real hypocrites are now? See Kwesi Pratt?? After Atuguba has forcefully changed the other judges' decision to suit his political affiliation with the NDC's position, now people like Kwesi Pratt is talking rough? Is it because the NPP is too gentle and did not start any noise to put things right? I think the post verdict is going to be very interesting and people like Kwesi Pratt cannot stand if such comments from them generate anything in the not too long future. We wish him and that shameful judgment well; is he not ashamed of himself thinking the judgement went well? A case of this matter had judgment without any open court explanation and he thinks it is right? A case of this magnitude and the presiding judge (President of the panel), Atuguba will pronounce a decision by a judge mistakenly? I am ashamed as a Ghanaian.

KWESI, THE DELAY OF THE SUPREME COURT OF GHANA ON AKUFFO-ADDO'S PETITION CHALLENGINGTHE THE RESULTS OF THE 2012 GENERAL ELECTION SCHOCKED THE WHOLE WORLD.

HOW COULD IT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE FOR SUCH AN IRRATIONAL PETITION TO HAVE TRAVELLED MORE THAN SEVEN(7)MONTHS IN THE COUNTRY AND TO ABSORB THE ENERGIES OF THE PEOPLE OF GHANA.

NEVER AND NEVER SHOULD SUCH A MAD ADEVENTURE EVER BE ALLOWED TO TAKE PLACE AGAIN IN THE COUNTRY.

FROM THE BAD LESSONS OF THE PAST,THE GOVERNMENT IS NOW OBLIGED TO ENACT A LWA THAT STIPULATES THAT FUTURE CHALLENGE OF ELECTIONS OF GHANA SHOULD BE DELIBERATED WITHIN TWO WEEKS BEFORE THE INAUGURATION OF A PRESIDENT.

THIS MUST BE WRITTEN IN THE CONSTITION OF GHANA.

ONE WONDERS WHY THE SO CALLED ARCHITECTS OF THE 1992 CONSTITUTION OF GHANA(LAWYERS AND POLITICAL SCIENTISTS)FAILed TO WRITE IT IN THE CONSTITUTION.

WHERE WERE THEIR BRAINS. DID THEY KNOW AND WERE THEY BLIND ON SUCH A CONSTIOTIONAL MATTER.

PLEASE KWESI PRATT,LET THE GOVERNMENT ANCHOR THIS IN THE CONSTIUTION OF GHANA WITH IMMEDDIATE EFFECT AND UNDER CERTIFICATE OF URGENCY.

IT WAS A SHAMEFUL AND DISGRACEFUL ACTION EVER INFLICTED ON OUR NATION BY ANTI-ELEMENTS AND ANTAGONISTS IN THE COUNTRY.

NEVER AGAIN.

If the EC had waited, the NPP would have delayed or protracted the announcement of which party won the elections. All they (NPP) wanted, was a rerun, period. Delaying means forcing a rerun and hoping to win at all cost.

It was correct in every regard for the EC to have announced the winner immediately. EC did not not have to play into the hands of the NPP.

Their image in already tarnished; come 2016, the NPP will still lose the election. They can white-wash the flag-bearer (Nana Addo Danquah) but to no avail. Changing the flagbearer to any another person will also not help, the die is already cast for 2016. NPP will be in opposition for a long time. Nana Addo is fake and will continue to be fake.

Can you imagine demonstrations with placards reading "SHOW US YOUR LAW CERTIFICATE" when Nana becomes the president and attending international conferences, please advise the elephant to go and rest quietly in the bush. Tell him it is time to attend to his grand parents, no more politics - he is capable of pushing strollers in the park with his grand parents. Ghana needs peace to govern itself.

Elections was held at the Scheduled dates for 2 days.
Total final results were duly declared within 3 days despite Opposition disagreement without any trace of Violence whatsoever.
The EC and Chief Justice hurriedly Gazetted the legitimately or as the case may to some people,disputed winner as prescribed by the Constitution.
Inauguration and Swearing in Ceremonies were duly held without hindrance.The absence of the Opposition is not a problem.
The then Caretaker and now elected President as required by Executive duties named his team of Ministers and appointed their Deputies.
Parliament had approved Budgets and moneys released for govt business by the appropriate agency.
Therefore I do not personally see your allegations of" Whole country held to ransom to the detriment of the National Economy"
Sometimes we have to be circumspect in our utterances to give a true picture of actually what transpired.Or is part of the political Technicalities and Tactics to throw dust into peoples Eyes.Please give the always thinking of your Stomach a break! For,Kwesi you have only one belly as anyother person.
Now I know through your propaganda manoeuvres that the NDC govt had not plans.So they're now thinking of what to do,and where to Start from.
