This Justice,in a brief but concise 21-page decision, not unlike her colleagues who dismissed the petition,saw through the charade concocted by the petitioners to come to power through the backdoor! She essentially took Akufo Addo at his word,and endorsed the view that elections are won or lost at the polling station,and not in a courtroom.
Unlike the the voter biometric registration exercise which witnessed minor skirmishes here and there,was there even a whiff of voter intimidation and suppression, events that would have prevented citizens from freely exercising their choice in the December 2012 vote? Let`s face it, this crazy of maintaining "constitutional purity" was only half-hearted in the sense that,after finding that some votes were "tainted",then the ridiculous desire of the petitioners ought to have been granted,and their man, Akufo Addo,should have been declared the winner. Of course, the dissenting knew better and realized that the entries on the accounting portion of the so-called pink sheets could not and did not tell the story about what really happened at the polling stations. In fact,the overwhelming given by the polling agents of the various parties,particularly,the two main contending ones,told the whole story!

Who cares about Justice Akoto Bamfo's ENGLISH language? You think elections are about English language and the twisted logic of it?
If she rubbished the information on the PINK SHEET upon which ALL the events of the voting were recorded, and from which a winner or loser was pronounced, then she should spare us her nonsense and twisted logic. She could be a judge, a Supreme Court one, that is, BUT she's no custodian of LOGIC, FACT, LAW or WISDOM. Her abysmal attempt to reason in this context exposed her bias judgement.
Justice Akoto-Bamfo took a pre-position on the case, albeit in favour of the respondents, and STRUGGLED to clothe it with logic. She failed. It's a disgrace. she should hush it up!! We don't need any further explanation from her: We've got it!!!

INFO TO:
HON. CHAIRMAN OF NDC DR.KWABENA ADJEI
HON. GENERAL SECRETARY OF NDC JOHNSON ASIEDU NKETIA
HON. MINISTER OF TRANSPORT DZIFA ATTIVOR
DATE: TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 2013
SUBJECT: TO RESPECTFULLY AND HUMBLY REFER TO THE ABOVE RELATED SUBJECT-MATTER WHICH DIRECTLY AFFECTED MY PERSONALITY AND THE ISSUES THEREON RAISED WERE NOT ADDRESSED BY THE SO CALLED LAWYERS/COUNSELS IN THEIR RESPECTIVE ADDRESSES TO ENABLE THE SUPREME COURT TO ADDRESS THE ISSUES IN THE JUDGEMENT DELIVERED BY THE SUPREME COURT.
THEREFORE MAKING OUR DEAR PRESIDENT OF GHANA H.E.PRESIDENT JOHN DRAMANI MAHAMA AS LITIGANT THAT WOULD AFFECT FUTURE PRESIDENTS OF GHANA TO BE SUBJECTED TO FRIVOLOUS, MALICIOUS, CAPRICIOUS AND VEXACIOUS LAWSUITS.
THAT AS I HAVE ACCEPTED THE SUPREME COURT DECISION AS THE PETITIONERS AND RESPONDENTS THAT I STILL BELIEVED THE RESPONDENTS COUNSELS DID NOT EXERCISE REASONABLE AND DUE DELIGENCE AS REQUIRED FROM COUNSELS/LAWYERS TO PROTECT THE BEST INTEREST OF THE CLIENT(S).
THAT I ALSO BELIEVED THAT "THERE SHOULD BE FINALITY TO LITIGATION" BUT FOR THE SAKE OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF GHANA JURISPRUDENCE IT BEHOOVES ON ME AS INTERNATIONAL LAWYER/LEGAL CONSULTANT TO RAISE THE ISSUE SINCE THE RESPONDENTS COUNSELS WOEFULLY FAILED TO EVEN TALK TO ME AS FRIENDS OF THE GHANA BAR AND EVEN WHILE THE SUPREME COURT ITSELF AND THE NATIONAL EXECUTIVES AND OTHER MEMBERS OF THE NDC EXPRESSED "CONDOLENCES" TO ME EVEN AT THE COURT WHEN THREE (3) DAYS TO MOVING THE MOTION FOR THE REVIEW OF THE AMICUS CURIAE BRIEF TO PROTECT THE BEST INTEREST OF H.E.PRESIDENT OF GHANA JOHN DRAMANI MAHAMA, TO PROTECT GHANA 1992 CONSTITUTION ITSELF AS REQUIRED BY THE CONSTITUTION UNDER CHAPTER 001 ARTICLE 1 OF THE CONSTITUTION THAT THE COUNSELS FOR THE FIRST RESPONDENT TONY LITHUR AND COUNSEL FOR THE THIRD RESPONDENT TSATSU TSIKATA DEEM ME AS "INTERMEDDLER ---" AND EVEN THE CASE I RESPECTFULLY MADE CONCERNING THE PETITIONERS FRIVOLOUS PETITION AND PRAY TO THE COURT TO TAKE "A JUDICIAL NOTICE OF THE PETITION ITSELF" AND TO DISMISS SAME DID NOT EVEN SEEM USEFUL TO COUNSEL FOR FIRST RESPONDENT TONY LITHUR.
THAT BECAUSE THEIR CALIBRE OF LAWYERS ARE THOSE WHO DO NOT GIVE OPPORTUNITY TO OTHERS BUT SEEKING THEIR OWN SELFISH AND SELF SEEKING INTEREST.
THAT IT IS MY RESPECTFUL SUBMISSION THAT BECAUSE COUNSELS FOR RESPONDENTS DID NOT EXERCISE REASONABLE LEGAL RESEARCH AND DUE DILIGENCE BUT BASED THEIR ARGUMENTS ON MERE "LOGIC" AND RATIONALIZATION OF THE FACTS BROUGHT SHARP DIVISION AT THE COURT WHICH CULMINATED IN MAJORITY AND MINORITY DECISIONS INSTEAD OF OUTRIGHT STRIKE OF THE FRIVOLOUS CASE BASED MAINLY ON HYPOTHETICAL ANALYSIS OF THE ERRORS ON PINK SHEETS. THAT THE PURPORTED MALPRACTICES NEVER OCCURRED AT THE ACTUAL POLLING STATIONS THAT ALSO RESULTED IN THE SECOND PETITIONER DR.BAWUMIA POSTULATION "YOU AND I WERE NOT THERE BUT ON THE PINK SHEETS".
THAT THE SECOND PETITIONER DR>BAWUMIA WHO IS AN ECONOMIST RATHER GAVE THE EVIDENCE ON BEHALF OF THE PETITIONERS EXPECIALLY HON.NANA AKUFO ADDO WHO WAS GHANA FORMER ATTORNEY GENERAL RATHER NEVER SPOKE A WORD IN THE SUPREME COURT BUT RATHER BEING SEEN TO BE RECEIVING PRAISES. WHAT A PROVERBIAL SCENARIO SITUATIONS THAT WE AS GHANAIANS ARE EXHIBITING AND RELEGATING "TRUTH" RATHER FROM THE SCENE?
IT IS AT THESE RELATED BACKDROPS THAT I STILL HOLD THAT THE "MINORITY DECISION WAS TAKEN "PER CURIA" IN GROSS VIOLATION OF GHANA 1992 CONSTITUTION AND OTHER LAWS.
THAT AS INTERNATIONAL LAWYER/LEGAL CONSULTANT I WOULD NOT WAIT FOR ANY OTHER LAWYER FROM THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY TO RAISE THE ISSUES.
IT IS THEREFORE IN THE LIGHT OF ABOVE THAT I AM RESPECTFULLY PUBLISHING JUST SOME FEW EXCERPTS FROM THE DRAFT PROCEEDINGS AT THE SUPREME COURT CONCERNING MY MOTION FOR THE REVIEW OF THE "AMICUS CURIAE BRIEF AND TO HUMBLY REQUEST THE COURT ITSELF AND ALL THE MEDIA HOUSES THAT CAPTURED THE PROCEEDINGS TO PUBLISH THE FULL PROCEEDINGS OF THE MOTION FOR REVIEW OF THE "AMICUS CURIAE BRIEF".
" DRAFT
IN THE SUPREME COURT OF JUDICATURE, THE SUPREME COURT {CIVIL DIVISION} SITTING IN ACCRA ON TUESDAY, THE 28TH DAY OF MAY 2013
APPLICATION FOR REVIEW OF AMICUS CURIAE
AMEKUDZI : RESPECTFULLY YOUR LORDSHIPS, THIS IS AN APPLICATION OR AN APPEAL FOR REVIEW OF YOUR LORDSHIPS DECISION, PER INCURIAM, ON A MOTION ON NOTICE FOR LEAVE TO FILE AN AMICUS OR FRIEND OF COURT BRIEF TO DRAW THE KIND ATTENTION OF THE COURT TO RELEVANT PROVISIONS OF THE CONSTITUTION AND A SETTLED LEGAL PRECEDENT THAT THE COURT IN THE FIRST INSTANT SHOULD HAVE MADE A DETERMINATION ON BEFORE ENTERTAINING THIS PETITION, FRIVOLOUS PETITION BROUGHT AGAINST A SITTING PRESIDENT OF GHANA, WHERE THE MATTER CAME BEFORE THE COURT ON MAY 2ND, 2013, WHERE THE GIST OF IT SIMPLY WAS THAT, THE MOTION ON NOTICE FOR LEAVE FOR AMICUS CURIAE BRIEF WAS DISMISSED AND THE "RATIO DECIDENDI" FOR DISMISSING THE MOTION ON NOTICE FOR LEAVE WAS A GROSS ERROR OF LAW ON THE FACE OF THE RECORD, A DIRECT SLAP AT THE FACE OF JUSTICE, TWISTING, IF NOT TRYING TO BREAK THE ARM OF THE 1992 CONSTITUTION THAT FRAMERS OF THIS CONSTITUTION THAT WAS RATIFIED IN A REFERENDUM BY THE PEOPLE OF GHANA NEVER CONTEMPLATED THAT A SITTING PRESIDENT WHILE IN OFFICE SHALL NOT BE SUED OR JOINED TO A LAWSUIT AS DEFENDANT.
NOW THE RATIO THAT THE SUPREME COURT RELIED ON WAS ARTICLE 64 AND C.I. 16 AND I WILL DEMONSTRATE TO THIS HIGHEST COURT OF GHANA THAT THE DECISION BASED ON THAT RATIO WAS A GROSS ERROR ON THE FACE OF THE REALM, WHICH WILL SERVE A VERY DANGEROUS PRECEDENT IF NOT REVIEWED BECAUSE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RATIO UNDER WHICH THE SUPREME COURT RELIED ITS DECISION ARTICLE 64, IF YOUR LORDSHIPS WILL KINDLY PERMIT ME TO READ THE ARTICLE 64 THEN I WILL DEMONSTRATE TO THE COURT THAT THE FRAMERS OF GHANA 1992 CONSTITUTION NEVER CONTEMPLATED, NEVER, I REPEAT, NEVER CONTEMPLATED THAT A SITTING PRESIDENT WHILE IN OFFICE SEEKING RE-ELECTION SHOULD COME UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF ARTICLE 64 SECTIONS 1 AND 2, EVEN 3 BECAUSE OF C.I.16 THAT YOU RELIED ON----YOUR LORDSHIPS< THE HEADING----CHALLENGING ELECTION OF PRESIDENT---SECTION 1 PROVIDES THAT COUNSEL READS OUT.
ATUGUBA: MR. AMEKUDZI, SINCE YOU RESPECT THE SACROSANCTSY OF THE CONSTITUTION, IT IS NECESSARY TO DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO THE FACT THAT THE CONSTITUTIONYOU ARE SEEKING TO DEFEND IS DIVIDED INTO ARTICLES AND SECTIONS ONLY IN THE TRANSITIONAL PROVISIONS, AS YOU DON'T TRANSPOSE THE TRANSITIONAL PROVISIONS ARRANGEMENT TO THE MAIN BODY OF THE CONSTITUTION. YOU HAVE TO BE SACROSANCT ALL THE WAY.
AMEKUDZI: THANK YOU.
(----RESERVED THE OTHER PROCEEDINGS LATER BUT TO TOUCH DIRECTLY ON TONY LITHUR AND TSATSU TSIKATA SUBMISSIONS)
TONY LITHUR: I THINK I AM TEMPTED TO SAY "RESQUI SALO QUITO,". I THINK YOUR LORDSHIPS HAVE MADE IT ABUNDANTLY CLEAR THAT THE REVIEW JURISDICTION OF THIS COURT OUGHT TO BE INVOKED PROPERLY, I THINK THIS MATTER SHOULD BE DISMISSED. I HAVE NOTHING USEFUL TO IT. AND I MUST SAY THAT IT IS REVIEWED ON EXCEPTIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES. IN THE AFFIDAVIT NOTING HAS BEEN DEMONSTRATED TO SHOW THAT THESE CIRCUMSTANCES FOR REVIEW OF YOUR LORDSHIPS' EARLIER DECISION.
TSATSU TSIKATA: MY LORDS, I BELIEVE THE ISSUE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ARTICLES OR CLAUSES OR SECTIONS, BUT IT HAS DO WITH SOMEONE WISHING TO BE AMICUS CURIAE AND AS WE INDICATED PREVIOUSLY, THE PRESIDENT IS REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL AND I THINK THE NATURE OF THE APPLICATION IS IN THE NATURE OF INTERMEDDLING AND DOES NOT SATISFY ANY OF THE RULES AND WE THEREFORE RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR IT TO BE DISMISSED.
ATUGUBA: WELL, HIS APPLICATION IS NOT ENTIRELY FRIVOLOUS, IN SENSE THAT HE WAS SAYING THAT THIS POINT EVEN IF HE COULD NOT COME IN, THE COURT ITSELF OUGHT TO TAKEN UP THE POINT, YOU SEE, TO THAT EXTENT, I THINK THERE IS AN ARGUABLE POINT THERE.
IN FACT, YOU KNOW THE FIRST EVER PRESIDENTIAL PETITION IN THIS COUNTRY CAME IN 1969 ON VERY SIMILAR GROUNDS AND IT WAS BROUGHT AGAINST THE ATTORNEY GENERAL, NOT THE PRESIDENT, SO IT IS NOT ALL THAT WASHY-WASHY, BUT, WELL WE HEARD YOUR SUBMISSIONS.
(----OTHER PROCEEDINGS RESERVED FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION)
THAT AT THIS TIME AND TIME MATERIAL, I AM RESPECTFULLY RESTING MY CASE AND ALSO CHALLENGING THE SUPREME COURT ITSELF AND ALL THE MEDIA HOUSES THAT COVERED THE PROCEEDINGS TO PUBLISH THE FULL EXCERPTS OF THE PROCEEDINGS AND SINCE TO EVERY ISSUE THERE ARE TWO SIDES TO IT, THEREFORE CALLING ON ALL CONCERNED IN THIS RELATED MATTER TO COME OUT WITH THEIR SIDES ALSO.
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED.
GOD BLESS GHANA AND LONG LIVE GHANA !

Sometimes it baffles me alot when people don't face the real understanding of voting regulations. Today it's NDC tomorrow the same people backing the status quo would be crying foul when they fall in the same situation that NPP is in now. One thing we ghanaians have to understand is that all these won't help we the voters. we will always be taken for granted and the politicians win and we the rest loss. Judges can be bais too and it's up to all ghanaians to face the truth and it doesn't matter who the truth favours.Elections in ghana would never be the same and come a time politicians would pay their way out for victory with our own money because they know that we ghanaians will understand. The question now is, why do we have rules and regulations in elections. When rules and regulation are set in an election and its unconstitutional, the supreme court ought to address it long before we go to the polls.

IN THE EYES OF THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY AND GHANAIAN POPULACE AT HOME AND ABROAD, THE TOP COURT IS BIAS AND CORRUPT. GHANAIANS CAN NO LONGER DEPEND ON IT TO SAFEGUARD AND PROTECT THE CONSTITUTION. INDEED, IT IS VERY PATHETIC FOR CHIEF JUSTICE TO APPOINT PARTISAN AND BIAS JUDGE LIKE ATUGUBA TO HEAD SUCH SENSITIVE AND IMPORTANT CASE. ATUGUBA’S BEHAVIOR AND ATITUDE HAS BROUGHT ONE OF THE REPUTABLE AND HIGHLY RESPECTED COURT IN THE WORLD, GHANA SUPREME COURT INTO THE MUD. IT WILL TAKE YEARS FOR THE COURT TO REDEEM ITS IMAGE.

This erudite Judge has a remarkable grasp of the law and emmaculate reasoning that only small minds will fail to see. In seeking justice in the name of the Rule of Law, one must be careful not to use the law to perpetrate an injustice. In this regard also it is paramount to take into account the spirit and reasoning of the constitution. The petitioners case was so bad and frivolous that any right thinking person will turn his back on it. No wonder even the Asantehene will have nothing to do with it, even at the expense of incurring Asante wrath and venom. And trust me, they can spew venom.

Please don't forget that Afari Gyan offered to produce printouts from the biometric machine but the petitionerrs objercted. The ground of objection was that the EC had the machines and could have doctored them. If the petitioners were seeking the truth they would have asked for the machines but they knew the machines would undermine their case so they objected. It is not up to the justices to find the relevant evidence for the petitioners.

I am really ashamed for this judge. I ve just two questions for her.
(1) Why does she describe portions of the pink sheets as full of errors but accepts other portions as sacrosant. ie she accepts the figures given to the candidates but rejects figueres indicated as those who voted without verification.
(2)I want to draw the woman's attention to the fact that if a presiding officer fails to apply his stamp to a cast ballot, the ballot is rejected. Are we not visiting the sins of the presiding officer on the voter?

All conclusions drawn by justice Vida Akoto Bamfo were thoroughly reasoned and flowed out of logic.You can not disenfranchise when the evidence is not conclusive.There is the need to balance the right of the voter and the words in the constitution.
That is why a strict and narrow interpretation of the constitution will defeat the purpose and intent of constitution.Instead she opted for the more recognized and acceptable purposive definition of constitutional interpretation.A clear modern approach which is followed by experts in constitution all over the world
It is one of the few judgements delivered on that day which will stand the test of time.The decision
of Anim Addo,Dotse and Owusu will come under close scrutiny for a long time.Their conclusions were just too harsh abrupt and did not take into consideration the human factors.

The NPP will never ever dream of taking such an illogical and vexacious and frivolous petition to the courts to declare a president when the constitution made it sufficiently and abundantly clear that presidents are elected by citizens at the polls!! NPP is a disgraced and disappointed lot who since Mate Meho days think they can always short circuit the presidency!!! They are only trouble shooters!! This time round, they cannot and will never ever rise to the occasion bevcause every Ghanaian saw their disgrace in the court on TV. Their discredited Secretary and flag bearer especially, has been disallowed and who is not na popular choice after having been in theis world for over 70 years. At best, their flag bearer, Nana Addo Dankwa is an expired commodity!! Ghana deserves better!!

At least the discredited and frivolous and at best the vexacious 2012 Election Petition brought the arrogant NPP to their knees!! They are now begging!! For posts and favours!!! Ghana knows them well!!
Those of their long mouthed villains and hallucination sufferers who thought that their 100 and over lawyers can meet the jurisprudence prowess of Oxford trained and God-gifted Tsatsu made the biggest mistake of their lives, even those who had titles of "Prof" among the NPP lawyers don't imagine and understand how Tsatsu knows and understand the legalities and constitutionalities to that depth and heights!! After the oral presentation, the whole world saw Tsatsu as someone in a class of his own!!! There is no challenger!! Tsatsu disgraced and exposed their main petitioner- Bawumia and perforated the Pink Sheets and never in the history of this country will the NPP think shallowly based on their community tutors for any advice!! The disgrace and the exposure of one of the judges who constantly stood against the NDC just for his parochial interest by Tsatsu was a reasonable fact and made a clean breast of issues. Isn't silence not tantamount to self admission of what has been said??
Ghana belongs to all and sundry!! Shame unto the disappointed NPP bootlickers!! NDC has come to stay!! Even if to your chagrin who cares!!

I do tip my hat off to Justice Akoto-Bamfo because she has truly and surely proven that she has intellect, understanding of the law and above all proven to be a principled Ghanaian. She has single handedly shown to me that the Dr. Bawumia's of Ghana and all the lawyers of the NPP have lacked not only common sense but have never understood the law in its derivation or application and certainly not understood the constitution of Ghana.
For those NPP zealots and foot soldiers who continue to get on Peacefm and or use Ghanaweb to publicize useless and illogical articles I say read Justice Akoto-Bamfo's reasoning and you may just find that all the ballyhoo about pink sheets did not amount to a hill of beans. The pink sheets did not and could not stand on its own since there were rival measures, like the registered voters and counts from the ballots, which are actual verifiable tools to ascertain the true elections results of the 2012 contest. Should Nana Akufo-Addo, Sir John and members of the petitioner’s law team need logical thought processes they can go to Justice Akoto-Bamfo for lessons. Acquiring classroom earned degrees, irrespective of which nation conferred those degrees, can never be synonymous with wisdom. Thank you Justice Akoto-Bamfo you have proven that wisdom continue to exist in Ghana in the midst of chaos brought on by a bunch of know nothing classroom educated illiterates of the NPP here in Ghana and elsewhere.

The judge actually points out some of the weaknesses in the plaintiff's case. Instead of hanging most of their case on the pink sheets, they should have tendered other evidence.
They did not tender other evidence because they knew it would have weakened their case - Akuffo Addo and co are no dummies - they are very good lawyers. The only reason they kept away from the other evidence the judge notes above was because it would have contradicted their argument.

Since the Supreme Court judgement, many have castigated the judges for making a bad decision. As the arguments for their positions come out, a totally different picture is emerging. It is becomibng apparent that the judges put a lot of thought into their decisions, as would be expected of people of their calibre.
While some may disagree with their conclusions, we have to admit that they thought through the issues and logically arrived at their decision.
If you don't agree, please go back and re-read the judge's argument above. It makes a lot of sense.
