    What do Americans know about democratic electoral processes or results? Don`t they go to court to fight over election results?

  • Mahmoud 8 years ago

    If Mahama hadn't stolen the nomination from his own party in 2012, I don't think NDC would've nominated someone accused of inflating prices of airplanes by millions of dollars corruptly as their presidential candidate. After ...

    We are still waiting for the Supreme Court to interpret Article 70(2) of the constitution. We believe that the "Maradona" undemocratic action taken by Mr. Mahama to appoint Charlotte Osei as the EC chair did not reflect the l ...

    Sorry Oratorio, you did not make an iota of sense in your lenghty talk

  • Oratorio 8 years ago

    Sorry Ansu, it was not a "lengthy talk". It was, if anything at all, a lengthy comment. I can begin to understand why you found it difficult to grasp "an iota of sense" from the comment.
