If this man knew of such errors will occur, then as his position as the kingpin of the electoral commission with four or five elections supervision under his belt. What remedies did he take to prevent these errors? Should Ghanaians depend the outcome of their election results base on errors? What is the point in voting if the outcome our election is base on errors. Does mean these figures which is posted on the official website of EC constitute errors
REPORTED CONSTITUENCIES = 275 / 275
REGISTERED VOTERS = 14,031,793

If the NPP General Secretary, Mr Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie knew of the painful frustration that Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the first petitioner in the on-going Supreme Court (SC) challenge of the 2012 Presidential Election results went through and how he reacted in court on Wednesday May 29, he will never have waved his blue handkerchief when the case was adjourned.
The frustration was so glaring and huge that Akufo-Addo could not contain himself, so he sprang on his feet and verbally attacked his lawyers in court. Nana Akufo-Addo was seen venting his spleen especially on Mr Philip Addison for failing to stop Mr James Quarshie-Idun, the lead counsel of the Electoral Commission (EC) from asking certain questions during his cross-examination of Mr Johnson Asiedu Nketia, NDC's General Secretary.
Nana Akufo-Addo angrily blurted out, 'Why are you allowing them to take a second bite at the cherry without protesting.' He threw his arms in the air and told them that they were allowing the respondents to have a field day.
The incident happened when the justices of the SC went on a short recess to deliberate on the objection raised by Philip Addison on the line of questioning by Mr Quarshie-Idun during his cross-examination of Asiedu Nketia, who is popularly known as General Mosquito.
Nana Akufo-Addo could not understand why Philip Addison did not raise series of objections to the questions which he Akufo-Addo considered as re-examination by the EC counsel. He told them that it was plain wrong and unacceptable for them not to have raised objections to several of the questions posed by Mr Quarshie-Idun.
The twice defeated flagbearer of the NPP told his lawyers that he was very much disappointed in them for allowing General Mosquito to rehash his answers in order to repair the damage to some of the questions posed to him by Philip Addison.
Nana Akufo-Addo insulted his lawyers for doing a lousy job and his words were captured by several people around. This behaviour by Nana Akufo-Addo clearly demonstrates his feelings as he has witnessed his weak case and the way it has been torn apart by respondents.
If Akufo-Addo is angry with the way the case was going and could therefore question the competence of his own lawyers whilst openly berating them in court, it seems amazing to see Kwadwo Afriyie also known as Sir John waving his handkerchief in front of the court premises when the case was adjourned.
This is a clear example of a confused Sir John who does not even know what is happening around him let alone know the dynamics of the case before the SC. He has made it his habit of throwing a party any time he feels that the case is going the way of the NPP.
Otherwise how can Nana Akufo-Addo be angry with his lawyers and berate them for doing a poor job in court and less than 30 minutes later see Sir John jubilating that the case is going good for the NPP?

If after 20 years of being at post and after 4 elections prior to 2012 these problems existed and no antidote was found whatsoever to counteract them then God save our souls. This is not to indict whoever won but for how long can we continue dealing with MEDIOCRITY and the lack of application of COMMON SENSE in our daily undertakings as Ghanaians? We NEVER fix anything...always applying band aid (note it's not bandage as Ghanaians are fond of pronouncing it)measures to larger-than-life issues. It's high time some sanity is brought into our electioneering process and hope this petition is going to be a great eye opener to close all the basic loopholes to preserve the integrity of future elections.

Dr. Returning Officer, the issue is not about the apology of your errors, it is about the errors you knew before hand but failed to connect the dots, which led to irregularities of the election and with doubtful results.

Education is beyond the classroom. I believe the sore losers have been educated by hearing from the chairman of the EC. They failed to accept defeat and tried to use fictitious means to impose their candidates on the other 8 regions. They relied on a clueless PhD holder with a BoG experience but was he eventually educated by the palm-wine tapper with Rural Bank experience (obviously he lacked vocabs seriously). If they win elections then it is called a free and fair election but if they lose then the election has been rigged. The faces of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd petitioners are clearly showing that Akufo Addo will NEVER be president in his life. Awwwww! SKIN PAIN! (Iff) If, and only if the NPP wants to win an election, they should follow the following steps:
1. Campaign and stop propaganda and personal attacks
2. Use reasonable an civilized people for communication
3. Get over the tribalism and name calling and remember that all Ghanaians are equal and are also human beings
4. They should also not assume that all the people who attend their rallies will vote for them
5. Serial callers and campaign songs don’t bring votes (although they have very nice campaign songs like, na na na na na is a winner ooo, is born to succeed oh, he’s a winner). They should edit the song for the next NPP flag bearer.

i find dr afari-gyan's admission (that mistakes occurred) not just sincere and honest, but most admirable. but were the mistakes massive and for that reason undermined the outcome of the ballot? this is npp's burden, bringing overwhelming evidence before the justices. i believe they are not wasting the nation's time as some of their detractors are saying.

let me add to the comments i just posted that npp's action could neither be a time nor resources wasting exercise no matter what decision (win or lose)ultimately emanates from the court. this complaint of the anti-petitioners is misplaced. what is costing the nation are public/civil servants who get paid though don't return to post after lunch, chauffered-driven ministers, etc. the list is very tall. npp should rather be applauded for upholding our constitution because when we decided to return to constitutional rule in 1992,we had opted to use saner, civilized channels (like the courts) when we feel cheated and aggrieved.

1992 CONSTITUTIONS PROVIDES FOR ANY AGGRIEVED CANDIDATE NOT SATISFIED WITH RESULTS DECLARED CAN EITHER REQUEST FOR RECOUNT AT POLLING STATION OR GO TO COURT TO COMPEL EC TO DO RECOUNT AND COLLATIONS. GENUINE PETIONERS CAN/SHOULD REQUEST FOR RECOUNT. I WILL BE GLAD IF NDC CAN PETITION SUPREME COURT DURING THE REVIEW TO ORDER FOR RECOUNT AND RECOLLATION BASED ON THE FOLLOWING REASONS TO COMPLY WITH 1992 CONSTITUTION AND EC REGULATIONS:(1) NO SIGNATURE OF PRESIDING OFFICERS (2) CLERICAL ERRORS ON THE PART OF EC OFFICERS SUCH AS KEYING WRONG FIGURES FOR BALLOT ISSUED, TOTAL ELIGIBLE VOTERS SINCE THE PRIMARY SOURCES ARE VERIFICATION MACHINE MEMORY/RECORD AND INDELIBLE MARK ON THE VOTERS REGISTER AT POLLING STATION WHICH WAS FOLDED AND INSERTED INTO THE SEAL BALLOT BOXES AND VOTERS REGISTER UNTIL ONE YEAR BEFORE THEY ARE DESTROYED SHOULD THERE NOT BE ANY COURT ACTION. INDEED 1992 CONSTITUTION PROVIDE FOR THE SIGNATURE OF PRESIDING OFFICER TO VALIDATE DECLARATION FORM/PINK SHEET. HOWEVER, IN THE ABSENCE OF PRESIDING OFFICER'S SIGNATURE , THIS DID NOT INVALIDATE ACTUAL EVENTS OF ALL THE PROCESSES WHICH TOOK PLACE AT THE POLLING CENTRE. TO REMEDY THE SITUATION OF NO SIGNATURE, IS JUST TO ALLOW OFFICERS TO COME BACK TO VALIDATE BY SIGNING.UNLESS THERE IS CONTRARY VIEWS AGAINST RECORD OF EVENTS AS APPEAR ON THE FACE OF PINK SHEET.WHY IS NPP FORCING AS TO THINK IRRATIONALY LIKE THEM THAT A BLANK SPACE IS EQUAL TO ZERO, ELIGIBLE VOTERS AS RECORDED ON PINK SHEET MUST BE EQUAL TO THE NUMBER OF VOTERS ON REGISTER FOR THE POLLING STATION. WHERE THERE ARE ERRORS SUCH AS WRONG FIGURE WAS ENTRERD FOR ELIGIBLE VOTERS ON PINK SHEETS MIGHT BE STATED BY EC OFFICERS. RESORT TO OTHER CONTROLS WHICH TAKE THEIR ROOT FROM SOURCE DOCUMENT, IN ALL CASES VALID VOTES PLUS REJECTED BALLOTS IS EQUAL TO BALLOT ISSUED. IF THESE FIGURES ARE NOT THE SAME, NPP SHOULD DO PROPER RECONCILIATION WITH OTHER CONTROLS INTRODUCED BY EC. BEFORE RAISING ANY PROTEST.A GOOD EXAMPLE IS AGENTS'S TALLY CARDS,BIOMETRICT MEMORY,EVEN NUMBER OF PARLIAMENTARY BALLOTS ISSUED AT THE POLLING STATION CAN EASILY CLEARIFY SINCE THERE IS HIGH CORROLATIONS.

Since major elections are held every four years, why not recruit and train these people in every region in advance? In the process of recruitment, you will know their political leanings and lay down the law clearly and ground rules including the penalty for violation of rules.
It is wholly unacceptable to me to attempt to 'trivialise' errors or mistakes which occurred.
I am afraid the EC should shoulder a heavy blame for such lapses. They have been involved in this process for 20 years now and should by now have had a 'pool' of people who have been doing the job and who should be trained and re-trained to ensure that 'mistakes' are kept at the barest minimum if at all.
This explanation is disappointing and I hope counsel for petitioners will explore this statement further if we are to learn any lasting lessons from this case.

I wonder how ungrateful the NPP has become these days! When the votes goes for them, it's not bad or overvoting but when it goes for the NDC it's evil.
Nyame na atuamo ka saa no! They always believe in the " Elitist" ideaology always trying to paint anyother person uneducated or unworthy of anything, and many a time travelling to the extent of tribalism.
May I know if the NPP is ever ready to let any other tribe lead their party??? Always y3n Akanfo and stuff like that, how can they win the hearts of others?
In fact, Prez Kufour was the best we ever had in their party and besides him, I think Alan should be thest man again who can unite Ghanaians and not Nana Addo and his poisonous left hand man Kenedy Agyapong.
God bless Afari Gyan for organising a peaceful election ever in Ghana!!!

From his own statement people brought in within a short time and under pressure commited errors. Who is to Blame but Afari Gyan. Is it Complacency or Incompetence? Or Delibrate act of Rigging Election results? This is very serious and Dangerous for the Nation (GHANA). For the sake of Ghana the Security Agencies must appeal to NPP to let Bygones be bygones and REVAMP THE ELECTORAL COMMISSION Promptly else look out for UNRESTS AND DISORDER.
