NPP must stop this daily charade of monkey circus. Each day one of their sore losers pop in a skirmish with the alraedy cut and dried EC results of December 7th 2012 elections. It is now getting on our nerves.

Their aim is to make Ghana ungovernable by holding the nation hostage but we the good people of Ghana are not ready to pay any ransom to terrorist - not even a pesewa. Losers don't set the terms of conditions. If wishes were horses beggers would be the best jockeys.

2012 Presidential Candidate of the National Democratic Congress, John Dramani Mahama, who was declared the winner of the December 7 and 8 presidential election by Chairman of the Electoral Commission, Kwadwo Afari-Gyan, and is being sworn into office today as the president, spent over $180m just to ‘buy’ the 2012 election.

According to top NDC sources, at least $180m (nearly GHC350m) was spent on the 2012 campaign by President Mahama and the NDC from the centre. It is by a huge margin, the most expensive campaign ever ran in this country and relatively even more so than what incumbents spend in larger and richer Nigeria. Our investigations show that a chunk of the money was disbursed in November from the Ministry of Finance for unbudgeted expenditure, including the payments to rlg for distribution of laptops embossed with President Mahama’s campaign pictures. The organisations that were used for this unprecedented vote buying spree included LESDEP, SADA, rlg, NADMO, Zoomlion, as well as some chiefs.

Sources at the Ministry of Finance believe most of the money disbursed close to the election was laundered through the organisations and ended up in the campaign coffers of the NDC.

According to a ‘rigging’ document cited by the New Statesman before the election, the NDC targeted 180 constituencies where they bribed officials of the Electoral Commission, and even some agents of the NPP, with various sums of money. In the Volta Region, parts of Central, Western, Brong-Ahafo and the three northern regions, over GHC80m was spent directly to buy votes. In the Upper West, voters were given GHC50 as they stood in the queue to vote. In the Volta Region, especially some places in the Ketu South and North Dayi constituencies, as much as GHC100 per head was paid. The overall strategy was to target households and between GHC200-600 was paid per household, an amount which seemed like manna from heaven for many poor families. Truck load of motorbikes, bicycles, outboard motors, sewing machines, rice, cloth, laptops and phones followed NDC campaign vehicles as the ruling party invaded communities in target areas buying votes.

Some parliamentary candidates, for example in the Nzema areas, were seen distributing monies themselves.

SADA distributed tractors a few days before election; rlg, which received GHC100m in the last few weeks of the campaign, gave out free laptops with pictures of the president. The unit price per these laptops remains known to only a few.

How many times and years did the Ashanti people rule Ghana? This an old, leftists propaganda from Nkrumah's days, and it is a monotonous Leftist crocodile tears propaganda. They seek to rule Ghana all the time but turn round to accuse the Ashantis for wanting to rule Ghana. This issue has nothing to do with Ashantis, Northerners or Ewes. This is about two parties vying for power and have supporters in all parts of the country.

HOW MUCH DID AKUFO-ADDO WASTE TO BUY VOTES TO DESPERATELY GET TO THE NEW FLAGGSTAFF HOUSE? THIS HOLLIER & THOU ATTITUDE OF YOURS IS WHAT IS PISSING GHANAIANS OFF.
YOUR COMMENT SUGGESTS NPP RAN THE CLEANEST CAMPAIGN AND WAS CHEATED.

THE TRUTH:GHANAIANS DID NOT WANT THE OIL REVENUE TO BE MANNED AND STOLEN BY AKUFO-ADDO AND HIS THUGS.PLEASE DO NOT TAKE GHANAIANS FOR GRANTED.

IF KUFFOUR AND HIS EO GROUP SIPHONED-STOLE $300MILLION FROM THEIR SO CALLED BUSINESS VENTURES(EVEN BEFORE
THE NATION COULD PRODUCE A BARREL OF OIL,FROM THE GROUND)WHAT MAKES YOU THINK WE WERE GOING TO ALLOW DRACULA TO BE IN CHARGE OF THE BLOOD BANK?,eh.Shamo?

IF AKUFO-ADDO COULD NOT ACCOUNT FOR A CONTAINER-LOAD FULL OF CONFISCATED COCAINE LOCKED IN CID HEADQUARTERS,AS
AN ATTORNEY-GENERAL...WHAT MAKES YOU THINK GHANAIANS WILL SEND THE BULL TO CLEAN THE CHINA CABINET ON DEC/7,PAST?,eh Shamo?

GHANAIANS ARE SLOW TO ANGER,BUT WE ARE DEFINITELY NOT STUPID,YOU KNOW,Shamo.

AKUFO-ADDO LOST BECAUSE KUFFOUR'S GOV'T INSTITUTIONALIZED CORRUPTION.

LET'S GIVE OUR NORTHERN BROTHER THE CHANCE TO CLEAN HOUSE.ATTA MILLS WAS A VERY HONEST PRESIDENT,MAHAMA MAY BRING OUT THE BEST IN ALL OF US.

Rules,regulations,laws and for that matter,the Constitution of any sovereign nation like Ghana are made to be respected and followed to the letter for peace and sanity to prevail for society's own good. It is sad to note however, the manner in which people flout what society upholds as noble, without being sanctioned.This is seen as a source of the culture of insults and impunity as well as many other vices gradually engulfing our Ghanaian society.People are stealing at home,workplaces,banks, in government and in many government institutions--indeed everywhere churches notwithstanding!

The NDC which was borne out of probity and accountability has now become a party of liars and rigging of elections,all due to the fact that most of them call themselves cadrets without knowing what it really meant by the word,and for that reason every menber of the NDC misinterprites it to suit his or her own political agenda to uphold the machiavilian law.The NDC with some of it high hirachy of academics have also thrown away the present law and order to the dogs and doing their own thing to the detriment of Ghana law.They must not forget they are planting bad seeds and they would sooner or later going to reap it.

but rather are without brains.

Ask yourself if you are a human being
which of any NDC so-called politician
can claim to be sensible, Asiedu-Nketia or Koku Anyidoho or Okudzeto Ablakwa of Lantey Vasnderpuje?

I can tell you that you really need free SHS education to broaden up you dead knowledge. Kwasea like you does
NDC criminals if not because of their
stealing activities in our electioneering campaign who civilized
person can and will vote for such a
Coup D'etat descent?

If I were you, I will think how Ghana
our beloved country can be free from
injustices, arm robers, stealing in our Governmental circles by NDC crooks, lies, unsubstantiated allegations against NDC own political opponents, thievery, corruption and
total deceit and dishonesty practices
in our political platform and ensure
our nation can be progressed by praying for Ghana to get credible, dynamic and selfless politicians such as Nana Akuffo Addo and his NPP politicians to help build our country.

Look, Ghana has spent 55 years since we attained our independence, out of these years NDC has spent 24 years in
Government, up to today, Ghana still
import toothpick, we cannot even receive continious electrification in
our country and very important democratic institutions such as hospitals, as stupid as you are you are still encouraging NDC bunch of thieves, corrupt and total incompetent fools. Aren't you an idiot?

1. OVER-VOTING: IN FAVOUR OF WHO? HOW DID HE DETERMINE THE 12,000 VOTES TO BE DEDUCTED FROM ALHAJI SORONGHO'S TOTALS AND NOT FROM HIS OWN.
2. BIOMETRIC VERIFICATION: MANY OTHER VERIFICATION METHODS WERE USED INCLUDING THE PHYSICAL PRESENCE OF THE VOTER'S FACE TO BE COMPARED WITH WHAT WAS IN HIS/HER VOTERS ID CARD AND IN THE VOTERS REGISTER. SECONDLY THE QUESTION IS HOW MANY OF THOSE NON-BIOMETRIC VOTERS VOTED FOR EACH OF THOSE CANDIDATES? ALL THOSE WHO VOTED USING OTHER MEANS OF IDENTIFICATION OTHER THAN THE BV VOTED FOR ALL THE CANDIDATES. HOW DO WE DETERMINE HOW MANY OF SUCH VOTED FOR EACH OF THE CANDIDATES.
IN SUMMARY SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST DISPLAYING HOW BAD THEY ARE AS LOOSERS AND HOW POOR THEY ARE AT MANAGING A DEFEAT. IN WAR OR ANY CONTEST WHEN YOU ARE DEFEATED, YOU QUICKLY WITHDRAW, REVIEW YOUR STRATEGY, FORMULATE NEW PLANS, REORGANIZE AND FIX YOUR RESOURCES, PSYCHOLOGICALLY RE-TUNE YOUR SELF AND THEN DO ADEQUATE ASSESSMENT OF YOUR OPPONENT AND THEN GET SET FOR THE NEXT CONTEST. THIS IS WHAT NANA, BAWUMIA, OBITSEBI AND THOSE MP's WITH SUCH WEAK POINTS IN THEIR PETITIONS NEED TO KNOW AND THINK TWICE. FROM THE LOOK OF THINGS ALL THESE PETITIONS ARE JUST MAFIA TACTICS TO WIN SYMPATHY FROM WITHIN THE NPP ITSELF IN VIEW OF SELECTING A FLAG-BEARER DURING UP-COMING PRIMARIES FOR THE 2016 ELECTIONS. SAME STRATEGY OF NANA IS BEING PURSUED BY THE LOOSER MPs. THE DISEASE IS FLOWING THROUGH FROM THE TOP TO THE BOTTOM. THAT IS A PROBLEM FOR NPP TOP DEAL WITH BUT THEY SHOULD THINK TWICE AND STOP WASTING THE NATIONS TIME AND CREATING AM IMPRESSION THAT ALL DID NOT GO WELL WHEN IN FACT WE ALL COULD SEE THAT WE HAD A CREDIBLE ELECTION. ONE MAN'S OVER AMBITION SHOULD NOT HOLD US ALL HOSTAGES. (Romanus speaks his mind - no politics about it)

This is the forum where ignorant, illiterate,uneducated, uncouth, silly, uninformed pocket lawyers who do not respect the laws and constitution of Ghana come to insult without presenting any legal arguments, those who are exercising their democratic and constitutional human rights to argue their cases, if they feel that they have been unfairly treated or cheated in the elections by the EC.

It is their right under democracy and it is only the law courts who can decide whether they have a case or not. All the insulting will not change anything. Instead it demonstrates the emptiness and block headedness of those who have come here to insult. That is all they can do because they are dickheads

Oh yes! I am really sad when I come to this site and realize how ignorant some people are. They have no clue what our constitutional democracy is all about. The arguments are hollow without any legal basis, exposing their personal emotional biases which they have harboured for generations. They don't believe that individuals have any legal rights. At times it is hard to blame them for all their ignorance because Ghana has never known democracy until quite recently. Since independence, we have walloped from one dictatorship to another.

Ghana is on its way forward and no Mate Mehu can hold her back. Full stop. End of discussion.

Ghanaians are fed up with crazy, costly, lengthy litigations which is taking is aback. There are a lessons to be learnt from the past. The 1966 coup set a bad precedent for follow up coups which brought Ghana to a partial standstill. We cannot continue this pattern on the democratic plate. The rule of law does not mean the absence of law and order. We cannot as a nation have the luxury of occupying ourselves with lawsuit after lawsuit and get ourselves entangle in a web of litigations. We are wasting time. No nation can make any headway or progress through marking time.

Those who lose an election must be not ashamed to congratulate their fellow contestant. Instead of indulging in endless contesting of results which have been widely acclaimed by both domestic and international observers/monitors as transparent, free and fair participants should learn the game of fair play.

It doesn't matter whether Ghanaians are tired of hearing about court cases or not. Almost every working day of every year in the life of our dear country, the law courts have been busy attending to litigation and administering justice in Ghana.

The year 2013 will be no different. And among the cases that the Supreme Court and High Court will be judging are the petition brought by Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, Mahamudu Bawumia and Jake Obetsebi-Lamptey and THIRTY-EIGHT individual parliamentary constituency results.

Simple logic. Mr. Amoah kindly squeeze urself in one corner and hide ur stupid face in shame.

U are not ashamed challenging no other seat than Madina ? When did Npp win Madina. Deliberate stupidity and naked buffonery has bewitched the NPP and are now behaving as total fools.

Eeeih ! This arrogant evil dwarf magician si charming people to be very stupid, even pastors and lawyers.

The court should throw away this case as it is over 21 days since the elections. Sore loosers go and rest.

If Nana Addo and NPP feels the election was fraud, they have their constitutional right to fight it in court there is nothing wrong with it. This is the civilize way to challenge these kind of practice which is rampant in Africa and it serve a lesson to the entire continent. Let us be patient and wait for the court decision. Ghana is a peaceful nation and I hope the aftermath will be peaceful.

This tale must be said to his grandchildren to explain why he couldnot win the 2013.

Why must such deduction come from the NDC and not NPP. Being Childish!

A COUPT IS A CRIMINAL ACT. IT IS NOT DIFFERENT FROM ARMED ROBBERY. IN GHANA IT IS PUNISHABLE BY DEATH (CAPITAL PUNISHMENT). NDC WAS FOUNDED BY COUP MAKERS. IF THEY CAN USURP POWER THROUGH THE BARREL OF THE GUN, THEN OF COURSE, THEY CAN EASILY RIG AN ELECTION. IT IS CLEAR THE GREEDY CORRUPT NDC BASTARDS AND CRIMINAL AFARI GYAN'S EC RIGGED THE ELECTION, HOWEVER, MANY STUPID GHANAIAN VOTERS WERE ON THE SIDE OF THE EVIL NDC DWARFS. WHEN THE HISTORY IS TOLD, IT WILL BE SAID THAT GHANAIANS WERE OFFERED FREE SECONDARY EDUCATION, IMPROVED UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE, SOCIAL HOUSING FOR THE POOR AND AN EGALITARIAN SOCIETY BUT 50% SAID NO THANK YOU. THEY PREFERRED ECONOMIC "WOYOMISATION" , PHANTOM DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS, PHILANDERERS FOR LEADERS, MACHIAVELLIAN DISRESPECTFUL CORRUPT LOUTS AND A VISIONLESS EVIL GOVERNMENT. I AM SO PROUD I VOTED FOR NANA AKUFFO ADDO.

Only the electoral commission of Ghana can organize elections and declare results. WOE Betides a Court which encroaches to do what the EC does.

This is one smart dog

A butcher is leaning on the counter toward the close of day when a dog with a basket in its jaws comes pushing through the door.

"An' wot's this then?" he asked. The dog knocks the basket sharply into the butcher's shins.

"You dumb dog." As he reaches down to smack the dog, he notices a note and a ten dollar bill in the basket.

The scribble on the note asks for three pounds of his best mince [ground beef]. The butcher figures this is too easy. He goes to the window and reaches for the dried up stuff that's been sitting out all day.

The dog growls at him. The butcher turns around and, glaring at the pup, gets the best mince from the fridge. Weighing out about 2 1/2 pounds, he drops in on the scale with his thumb.

"Hmmmmm, a bit shy. Who'll know?"

Again, the dog growls menacingly. "Alright, alright," as he throws on a generous half pound. He wraps it out, drops it in the basket, and drops in change from a five. The dog threatens to chew him off at the ankles. Another five goes in the basket.

The butcher is quite impressed and decides to follow the piddy pup home. The dog quickly enters a high-rise buildings, pushes the lift button, enters the lift, and then pushes the button for the 12th floor. The dog walks down the corridor and smartly bangs the basket on the door. The door opens, and the dog's owner screams at the dog.

"Hey, what are you doing? That's a really smart dog you've got there," comments the butcher.
"Hey, what are you doing? That's a really smart dog you've got there," comments the butcher.

"He's a stupid dog--that's the third time this week he's forgotten his key.

The Npp is like the dog who always forget what he is about and always have to come up with something.
Where were their smart men when the Elections was going on.

They have said this over and over again. They will make this country un-governable and that is what it means. They did it to Nkrumah, for which reason he had to bring in the preventive detention act PDA. I think it is time to revisit that law. Some people deserve to be incacerated for GH to move on. They have fought against any good thing that has happened to GH. Someone wants to be president at all cost, when all his life he has not done anything remarkable apart from organising stree demonstration
