    NPP have always stood against progress. Just look at the record, Akosombo dam, Motoway, Job 600, industries, Universities, Independence so why should you be surprised they want to bring Ghana toher knees?

    ALL THAT TSATSU TSIKATA IS DRIVING AT IS TO GET JUSTICE ANIM YEBOAH MURDERED LIKE HE DID TO THE FORMER 3 JUDGES. BECAUSE HE ESCAPED FROM HIS HEINOUS CRIME (SHIELDED BY PNDC) HE WANTS TO DO IT AGAIN.

    NPP Asante Kotoko supporters have not recovered from the stupid SC verdict so we are not in mood for any soccer to go to the Kumasi stadium to support the black stars so please change the venue to Mahama's home town.

  • SARPONG 10 years ago

    I do agree with Mr Baako, there is no need for any review. What I am interested in is how the Judges deliberated and came to the decision they made.

  • kay 10 years ago

    I disagree with Kwaku. If the lawyers feel there is chance they should go because some supporters would want to see a fight to the full length possible to see the defeat conclusive without any gaps if it so happens.

  • Imoru 10 years ago

    I agree with Kay.If the Party's National Council feel it necessary then let that be their prerogative. Who knows, it might shed some light on this puzzling verdict and give the Ghanaian public their legal reasoning for this l ...

    NPP should concentrate on winning 2016 elections.This is going to waste your time on an impossibility.It will cause more divisions in the party.Nana did the best thing for Mother Ghana by conceding defeat.I rest my case.
