And this 'loonie' who,from the look of things,has still got his clothes on,wants to be taken seriously?
That Philip Addison and his team did consider putting this character on the witness stand to give voice to all the under-handed activities of the EC,says a lot about his credibility as a bona fide participant of the December elections.
To me, the closing paragraph of this write-up gives this phantom counting agent away. I have a sense this is all part and parcel of the misinformation campaign that is being spearheaded by the shadowy ONLINE FREE PRESS to discredit not only notable individuals,but very important institutions of state in this country. This is very sad indeed!

I stopped reading the so-called case study half way through the second paragraph. Either Mr Nyarko is naive or playing mischief. Otherwise, he takes his readers and Ghanaians for fools, because for his case study to to come into fruition, all those involved with the organisation and management of the elections in a particular pooling station/s or constituencies must be accomplices. That is not realistic because I do not see how all NDC and NPP agents will agree for one of them to manipulate the elections as described in this concoction.

This writer has either no knowledge of the electoral process or is living in cucooland.

He should in the future try to rig ellections in this manner and see where it will land him. He will certainly be arrested and jailed

Fools like Nyarko have no place in Ghana politics. The NPP is suffering from anaemia. Such a tribal party full of idiots and Ashanti fools! Can such a party come to power?

Which tribe? Only one tribe will accuse the NPP of being a tribal party. Ironically the members of the accussing tribe are the most tribalistic group in the whole country.

Please stop this 'tribal' insults. they don't help

The same way we have Woyome, GYEEDA, SADA, ISOFOTON success, there will be no over voting even if the number of ballots cast exceed counted ballot papers issued at a pooling station before voting begins. In 2016, we will all dress as kings and queens of our homeland so there will be no biometric verification at all. Everyone will be Omanhene so who the hell is to be verified? No presiding officers will sign the pink sheets so we will steal most of the pink sheets, take them home and fill them as we like without regard to number of ballots cast. After all we can take them to the coalition center and then forge a signature on them two months after the results are announced. It will be a tag of war on that day and let me see the foolish Atuguba come to spew his stupidity on members of one particular party with contempt or whatever. That day will be a day like no day.

next time do not follow chip labor. tell your people not to send blind or uneducated people to the polling stations.How can you achieve a positive result if you send a group of people like i mentioned to a mission like that.

Gentleman, do you have the capacity to analyse situations or issues? Don't forget that those who were involved in the rigging live within the society . They confide in other people. So you are not able to read into why triplicate pink sheets were printed and their possible use? There are brilliant minds which are able to analyse figures and come to conclusions ito statistics (science works that way). Hope you understand what ito means. I watched the proceedings from Day 1 . People with analytical minds could see that the infractions were too massive to be just clerical errors (Heard of probability in stats?. Please allow those who are capable of thinking to express their views . They make interesting reading.

To rig elections, you don't have to go that far. Just consult Asiedu Nkatia and summon him with Afari Gyan with Mahama's GYEEDA account. That's it. All you have to do is to donate $5 million to Afari Gyan and he will do the rest by creating ghost polling stations etc. He will declare you winner and then when he is caught, he will tell you to go to court. Then when you go to court, just look for Otumfour Asantenene Bossman. Dash out $ 15 million to bribe the SC judges. Case closed. You are a winner.

LOOK, WE ARE SICK AND TIRED OF ARTICLES ON THE RECENT ELECTIONS AND COURT DECISION. WHY ARE SOME PEOPLE NOT NURSING THEIR WOUNDS QUICKLY ENOUGH. WITHIN TWELVE HOURS THE GERMANS CONCLUDED THEIR ELECTIONS AND THE CHANCELLOR HAS WON. NOT A SINGLE HUMAN BEING IN GERMANY WOULD EVER DREAM OF GOING TO COURT. AFRICAN AND GHANAIAN POLITICIANS BEING GREEDY BASTARDS WILL NEVER GIVE UP EVEN WHEN IT IS CLEAR THEY HAVE LOST. PLEASE STOP WRITING ARTICLES AND COMMENTS ON GHANA'S ELECTIONS. THERE ARE IMPORTANT THINGS TO DO.

And the Chancellor said "we shall party to night but tomorrow we go back to work". In Ghana we go to court after elections and waste 8 solid months. Elections in Germany are held on Sundays and the exist pools at 18:00 Hrs are close to accurate. I spent 3 minutes voting. The results are hardly disputed by anyone. Armed with your ID card and your voter notification you took less then 2 minutes to make your X. No indelible ink on your little finger and no stains on your kokromoti. In Ghana I saw people queue at 3:00 am and it took them a long time to vote. Of course one had to go through biometric verification (whatever that meant) to justify the long procedure and wait. What a difference. And if NPP does not take care they will sink into oblivion like the FDP. Whiles CDU/CSU led by a woman (sorry for the chauvinism) are cruising from victory to victory in state and provincial elections in Germany, the sister party of the CDU in Ghana, the NPP is wallowing in election misery like the FDP, the coalition partner to the CDU. And then we are forced to read these kinds of articles and election analyses on why the NPP lost in Ghana. Even the SC is not trusted. Shall we wait till NPP wins an election before Ghana moves forwards, sorry backwards?
