Of,"You and I were not there"? This inspite of the fact that his boss had previously stated unequivocally,the fact that elections are fought and won on the ground(polling stations),but not in the courts!
And since this gentleman is cluless about court procedures,I guess we have to remind him that "best documents" for court purposes,can never include 'fictitious' afidavids of the the kind kind he filed in court! What a loser.

Only in societies that are not civilized that an election result cannot be turned like Ghana.Do not be proud that Bawumia is re-instating that fact,what it means is that Ghana can also easily to war after an election.

Atinga is the name Kwame Okoampa Ahoofe, and associate professor in the USA refered to you and your ppl. Okaompa is a cousin of Nana Addo Danqua, the one you are fighting for.

He is also a member of the Danqua think thank fraternity, a top NPP financier in the USA and a strong member of the NPP USA team.

Bawumia, you need to know your place and where you rightly belong in the NPP. A word to the wise.

What he means basically is that the courts are not trustworthy. The NPP indubitably won the elections but the SC stole the peoples mandate for the ndc.

Your comment is bang on the Money. We are fools no more and that's the message streaming through from the masses. So, let the NPP party keep believing in their concert, thinking it may win them the oscar.

Look ooooooo! This very simple fact was what the GS for NDC was urging the NPP leadership in the heat of the campaigns prior to the General Elections. Instead of focusing attention on the polling stations, they thought they could rather gain by "cutting corners".

NPP should desist from their unproductive stance of trying to paint their opponents black, hoping like crabs, gaining the upper hand by pulling others down. Just sell your better asserts to the electorates and leave them to make their own choices at the polls. Ghanaians are no more all that ignorant as far as political choices are concerned.

If the citizens like yourself demand the best from your representatives, not someone else', ie NDC reps, things will begin to change. But if you keep on playing sycophancy, Ghana will slide further into crisis, but I am praying and optimistic Ghana will make it.

Adwoa, you are the one who is the sad case for Ghana.
If you and I were not there, what do you expect from the Judges, conjure magic and over an elections they were not there.

Judges only interpret the law and not run elections. Even in the almighty USA, a court ruled in favour of Bush although Al Gore beat him by a 500, ooo votes margin.

It saddens me to think the party I once supported and voted for has been fill with people who can not think for themselves.

Do you know why the NDC is alive and kicking when indeed everyone thought it will not survive after the 2000 defeat.

The NPP employed illiterate Agents to do a sensitive job. That is how you disrespect the elections.

U ignorant fools can carry on as normal and Ghana will eventually find your replacement.

If the "Electoral Commission had been caught to have forged 17 pink sheets", why did Dr Bawumia and his friends petition the SC to annul millions of valid votes?
It is good news that Dr Bawumia has now realised that an election cannot be won at the Supreme Court. Indeed prior to the 2012 election, NPP minced no word about asking their supporters including their polling agents to be extra vigilant at the polling centres yet at the end of it all, they still believed they had been cheated hence the petition.
The truth is that, NPP lost the election and this is the truth that is staring them in the face.

Kennedy agyapong was right to call all the top npp members as thieves, if akans npp party can support this man kennedy and even call him as their HEROES when he declared and call for AKANS to kill the GA'S and EWE'S ,He even go ahead that the AKANS must lynch any security personnel, whenever they dare to come to their aid. Why kennedy becomes a bad person now if he only said the truth and called the AKANS Npp party gurus as a thieves? kennedy must go to the Disciplinary committee to demand his $1.5million, is that how the npp treat their HEROES?

What at all does this text book economist want from Ghanaians? you went to court & as a star witness of an election petition,76% of your case has nothing to do with the election.Dr.Bawumia told Tsatsu Tsikata that 76% of their case is base on pink sheets having the same serial numbers. What does that got to do with the election? with their case concerning no signatures by presiding officers,if I have vote,gone home without any problem & a presiding officer as human as he is forgot to sign the pink sheet, what have I done wrong for my vote to be annulled.It is just pity that the NPP as a political party still believe that they were robbed of the 2012 by the EC,and again were also robbed by the supreme court.Next time they go to court with an election petition,they should gather facts & not duplicated & triplicated pink sheets like they did in the last election. Dr. Bawumia,after setting a record for himself as the longest serving vice presidential candidate in this country, should find something doing in other to regain his lost glory in the political terrain.
