It is so heartwarming and impressive to note how the NDC is countering those who are using the law to break the law. It is an arduous task but I hope they don't give up.

I would also like to remind those who keep on referring to NDC machomen that between the last elections and this one in 2024, fake soldiers, Policemen and footsoldiers of the NPP have .uttered at least 12 Ghanaians at election hotspots. The conniving govt has not even bothered to bring even one suspect to face justice. So which Party is the violent one?

Where were the police and the NPP observers when the so called machomen were used? Stop listening to fools and try to get to the real facts. The NPP and its parent parties have been lying just too much. From Nkruma’s juju use up to Rawlings killings. Now you lie about the elections. Ghanaians are awake and can differentiate between foolish lies and truths. How can a government in power allow opposition parties steal elections? You have been kicked out and accountability will soon follow. Truth shall prevail.

His English stinks u said? His grammar is not readable to even stink, but he's throwing tantrums, stupid lies just I have bn reiterating, how can a government in power claim that an opposition used macho men to declare election results? Where on earth have you ever heard this unintelligent lies before? Before you will understand the magnitude of how stupid and unintelligent the Npp and EC lies is, u should first acknowledge and know which persons are there before a collated results is declared(Members of both NDC and MP electorates, both NDC and Npp party agents, police, representatives from various media houses and Electoral officers).So how could the NDC use macho men to declare results whilst no media house reported it, the police and Npp members/agents couldn't stop them, arrest anyone, report it to any media house, but the NDC an opposition party could do this successfully at different places and even got away with it and got their candidates declared winners until only the EC came back to tell the whole Ghana of such happenings,Even Npp polling agents didn't write down any reports of such happenings. And remember that they are claiming it happened mainly in polling centers in Accra and even not villages. It is a cock and bull tales.Even donkeys won't swallow this unless perhaps foolish tribalistic blind party supporters who are suffering from the motivated reasoning syndrome.

And the recollection and redeclaration done by Bagbins wives? He can only swore in Gazatted MP elect sent to him officially by EC. Can he swore in anybody whose name is not on that list sent to the Clerk of Parliament by EC? Come on guys the Supreme Court ruling did not affirm the first declaration of MPs elect in those constituency, rather they should go back to the High Court and every party to the suit should be given the chance to be heard. So if after the high court proceedings, it happens that the original collation and declaration cannot stand and EC is ordered to do recollection and redeclaration and the outcome is different from original collation and declaration what would Bagbin do then? Mr Speaker come down.

Idling at work and so will respond to stupid questions on Ghanaweb, maybe give empty heads an education, what did this one even say? He was cheated at at the supreme court and a bad verdict went against him and he complained and even said the supreme court judges were incompetent and so why is he praising them for doing the right thing now? Ok, the most stupidest person in your family, I mean the one all of you have branded an idiot, are you saying because he always does idiotic things, when fire broke out in the family house and he got the sense to take a fire extinguisher to vanquish the fire entirely, you wouldn't praise him for doing so because he did a stupid thing the previous day right?
