Bedroom judgement.
This was black men doing what they know to do best, abusing power to always suppress a section of the people(the most corrupt race on the surface
of earth), an Npp court voting in favour of Npp was what went down , no one ...

Hello youth of Ghana. You can take your own life with medicine.......for instance 10 paracetamol at once........or combine medicine and akpeteshie
or weedicide.
These people go steal the Election like they did 2020 .... its really sad but that is a must to them.....
MAXIMUM PERCENTAGE FOR BAWUMIA ON DECEMBER 7TH WILL BE 40% . CHANGE IS COMING
BREAKING NEWS- AKUFO ADDO SWEAR NEVER TO HANDOVER TO JOHN MAHAMA NO MATTER THE OUT COME OF ELECTIONS RESULTS: HE PROMISED TO HANDOVER TO MAHAMUDU BAWUMIA OR THE MILLITARY:
GHANA IN TROUBLE:
He's a joke of the century. Akuffo Addo has no such powers.
May God punish you well for this misinformation that seeks to distabilise the nation. May you rot from within. Eeefu.
GHANAIANS WON'T NEED THE MILITARY TO CRACK A NUT ON THAT MOTHER SERPENT OF CORRUPTION'S HEAD!
Go home Togolese trokosi Ayigbe. Government should keep an eye on you murderers so that you do not murder the Justices who voted to nullify Bagbin's ruling like you murdered the Justices under the regime of the deceased half- ...

These are Blackmen doing a good job. Kudus to the judges.
This coming election will have something similar. NPP after realising they are loosing will instigate troubles in many constituencies and ran to the court. The Supreme Court will annulled the voters and call for election. Wat ...

The supreme court ruled for Ato Forson and you rejoiced. What has happened this time round? NDC kindly stop these shameful acts because it will haunt you if you come to power.
Actually, what's up with these wigs that the SC judges wear on their heads!
It is so OUTDATED and a pure remnant of colonialism displaying the 'hair of a wh%^& man' (wool). No prejudice or racism here, but it is so so so 'fu ...

CJ IS FROM WINNEBA, AFENYO MARKIN IS MP WINNEBA , AND HAILS FROM WINNEBA AS WELL. FYI
It was a kangaroo verdict, fixed verdict, no one cares about who voted for whom, Npp voted for Npp, that's all.
If these things continue we might have a new set of statues in front of the Supreme Court yoo
When the supreme court ruled for Ato Forson was that also a kangaroo verdict? Why is the NDC disgracing themselves all round wasting their time on these fiddle issues of minority and majority seat instead of campaigning.
THE SHOW IS ABOUT TO BEGIN. WE WILL ALL SEE WHERE POWER LIES.
You have suddenly forgotten that NDC MPs can also boycott parliament for Bagbin to again call off the sittings right? Which power lies where? Stay there and be clowning, they can go round in circles until the elections. So no ...

A very good comment from you. The NDC MP's must not step foot in Parliament if ever it reconvenes.
Should NDC win, they can not have the numbers to hold 2/3 majority. its not possible. So they will run into trouble if they end the parliament this way and win the election in the end!
What aa
Well said.
You are certainly right, my brother. And since Ghanaians didn't see anything wrong with the NPP caucus boycotting Parliament, I hope they same Ghanaians with keep their peace when the NDC caucus does same? We are sick and tir ...

When you lack common sense as a leader you behave like zombie it looks like the sc is leaking boot for position .know honesty
With this ruling means I can also be a scj cos the other two judges have the same mind as mine so this is clear……..
This is a clear justification why those concerned about politically tainted judges have a solid point. Look at the voting pattern here. The judges who act like NPP Executives all voted in favour. Those voices have been vindic ...

Why are the other 2 also voting along partisan lines. What is wrong if they joined the other 5 to vite in the interest of the country. Tgey have shown their true colours. God is watching them!
best internet
NDC should boycott parliament
They can also add the election.NDC boycotting the Election will save the country some monies and noise.
God is watching them ooo like one watches a cat thief! They should know that there is a heaven and hell after death. So they should keep up with their diabolic behaviour!
Kasongo speaker has seen where real power and common sense lies. Excellent judgement. Now let the NDC immature shit MPs return to their one corner with their partisan speaker.
Just look at the names of the justicces and also do justice on your own. Akand versus non Akans verdict.
NOTORIOUSLY CORRUPT JUDICIARY AT ITS BEST!
What else is new?
From demanding goat meat bribes to declaring a former minister of the ruling party can buy his residence whether the government wants to sell or not!

The SC wanted to avoid being tagged UNANIMOUS FC so they connived and colluded to have the two justices dessent.
This is a lesson to Mahama. Also, get your lawyers set before winning the election. Do not come back and waste people's time. Get them ready!!!!
The NPP women organiser and her deputies has spoken.
3RD CLASS DEGREE HOLDER BAGBIN IS A JONNY JUST COME WHEN IT COMES TO APPLYING THE LAW. BAGBIN IS INCOMPETENT IN LAW.
SO THE SUPREME COURT JUSTICES ARE 100 % CORRECT.
SHAME NDC AND BAGBIN.
Did he rule in favour of the NPP?
The NPP women organiser labelled as chief justice will disappoint her partner in crime, Akuffo Addo.

This is the plain truth that seems not to have 'carried the day' in the courts ruling.

Justice is imbalance in Ghana, our judges are clothed in political party colours and always doing their political party bidding. Ghana is not safe at all.
The Chief Justice should have recused herself from the panel including the NPP Justice who objections was raised by Thaddeus Sory the lawyers for the Speaker. Chief Justice wouldn’t because she knew the minds of the peopl ...

I have known Justice Lovelace Johnson from her early days of law practice in the Eastern Region as an upright woman of impeccable integrity. I hope she becomes the C.J. some day.
Soo predictable!

The ruling is not strange. We predicted the outcome
So the 5 justices who voted against the Speaker declaration are saying the word 'was' used in the Article is futuristic. So which seats are the mps asked to vacate. Is it the seats they are occupying now or the future seat th ...

The supreme court should know that their days are numbered so nothing will stop the marauding anger of the good people of Ghana.
Those who blame Ghanaians for not speaking up when Speaker Ocquaye ruled on vacant seats assume that without any MP filing the case for interpretation all of us would have agreed that it was long. That is why we have MPs. Ins ...

I’m so much surprised the apex court of the land can be this diabolic. I don’t think Ghana is in safe hands. This is a very clear expression which needs no interpretation.
I'm not surprised about the decision reached. We us a country are digging our own grave. 25 more days to go and all that verdict reached will be baseless as things will change drastically in favour of the NDC in both the Pre ...

This judgement has been cooked in the CJ bedroom
I am interested to read what the majority interpreted art 97 to mean. Does it mean that an MP can declare himself independent and contest against his own party’s candidate?
This ruling by the Supreme Court has settled the brouhaha amicably
Godfred Yeboah Dame, the same decision taken in 2020 by Rt. Hon. Speaker Mike Ocquaye was unconstitutional? Wicked NPP which doesn't care to sacrifice its members in order to bend the rules to benefit them. Liars, thieves, hy ...

The deputy women organiser should go and open the Parliament house for the npp and act as the speaker. Useless woman who doesn't have shame. She should wait after January 7 2025 she will see her proper position.
The supreme court ruling amounts to coup d'etat against the constitution of Ghana.
This is was a fixed March.
Which sensible human being was expecting the Supreme Court to a different verdict from what they have given? There was no way. Ghanaians must charge get ready for a show down in the coming days.
No body is surprised about your ruling.

The Supreme Court has never ruled on majority or minority.
They have only set aside the Article 97.Tnx.
The evil man is Bagbin stop insulting the judges
I am not surprised at all, I know it will happened in this way. Hmmm that is Ghana for you
Rest in peace Papa Jay
This is happening under a self- acclaimed human rights lawyer. No wonder he can’t find his law certificate.
Somebody help me here understand this! How is this issue different from where NPP Ministers who wanted to become president had to resign their ministerial positions?
Shameful
When your president an illiterate.
