    The truth is that Nana Addo targeted Ghana's oil money to spend it on his selfish ambition. As this dream failed to materialise he was in a stake of psychological comma. He wanted to hold Ghanains to ramsome for not voting fo ...

    This is the first independent analysis of the events I have read. Also of the same opinion. Akuffo-Addo and co have participated in all elections held since our new dispensation so they cannot claim to ignorant of the elector ...

    IN THE FIRST PLACE, AKUFFO ADDO KNEW IN HIS HEART THAT HE DIDN'T WIN THE ELECTION, OTHERWISE WHY DIDN'T HE TAKE THE STAND HIMSELF.
    SECONDLY, THEY KNEW THAT 8 OUT OF THE 9 JUDGES, COURTESY SAMMY AWUKU WERE NPP SYMPATHIZERS SO ...

    They tried to use patapaa & try an error stuff. They didn't know what was lurking in darkness awaiting them.They would have cursed the day, August 29th,2013! .

  • Ghanaian Patriot 10 years ago

    It is a well known fact that the Akims are litigants, so it is that the Asantes are thieves, (TO TO BOTOmu OR PICK POCKETERS). This, they have demonstrated by going to court with this bogus petition. Two tribes doing what ...

    Who is clueless now? You are the one who rushed and wrote this article without analyzing the verdict. It was not an unanimous rejection on the key issues adjudicated. It was a close verdict 5-4! Go figure!

  • BENCO 10 years ago

  • PLUMBER 10 years ago

    One of the reasons given for the rejection both in Ansah and Atuguba's ruling was that the issue of the duplicated serial numbers was not backed by law, thus accepting Asiedu Nketiah's assertion.

  • Otumfour OT 10 years ago

    Akuffo Addo knew. He was simply being dishonest because to him, he must be president at "all cost" and cannot fanthom why majority of the voters rejected him. It is simply an act of dishonesty perpetuated by the pertitioners.

    WELL SAID BRAVO

  • Kwami - US 10 years ago

    NPP only misused Bawumia instead of using him. NPP knew very well that if they did not misuse Bawumia in order for him to become clueless,like Mahama, he, Bawumia, from the north, also stands a very good chance of becoming th ...

    Kofi I think that if you study the rulings, it is not clear cut that the Judges dismissed the duplicate serial number claim for the same reason. Some declined because there was no law governing the pink sheet numbering unlike ...
