…The Ghana Armed Forces has denied media reports that it has assigned men to protect President John Mahama’s brother, Ibrahim Mahama.

Media reports have suggested that soldiers have been detailed to guard the President’s brother after pictures of him in the company of soldiers while on a health walk emerged on social media.

But in a statement to clarify the matter, the Armed Forces Command condemned the act and assured that the necessary action is being taking to address the issue.

“The Military High command has taken a serious exception of the bad conduct in respect of soldiers who participated in a health walk and were alleged to have been providing close protection to Mr. Ibrahim Mahama.

“The Military High Command wish to state that it has not assigned any soldier as body guard to Mr. Ibrahim Mahama. The soldiers in question were assigned as part of the security detail at the flagstaff House,” the statement signed by Director Public Affairs Colonel Aggrey-Quashie noted…..

Ayariga must know the PPP and Nduom's victory in court does not necessarily allows him Ayariga off the hook. His is seriously flawed and ensnared because he put on paper that he has a doctorate degree from non-existent university from Spain that in all certainty is a scam operated by azaa Africans in the diaspora. It is a 419 degree that you can get in a little less than a week. So cry your own cry Ayariga. This victory is not for you. You are guilty of fraud.

The law stipulates that after submitting their forms, applicants must be given a grace period to make minor corrections and amendments. But the independent EC decided by virtue of their independence, they would waive that clause and do it their own way. Just look where this is going to end us.
I believe most of the other 11 cases would end similarly. Then should the EC decide to appeal against any of the rulings, we would be looking back at the election time table which the Chief Justice had promised would never be affected! We are in for a rude shock! If only Charlotte had been a little circumspect and not allowed the position to swell her little head, we would not be here! We are all watching the drama!

Yes, the EC did and even give all aspirants a deadline to correct those anomalies on their forms and still there were errors at the end of it all, hence the EC unpardonable action against those 13 flagbearers. Watch the video of the EC's announcement over the 13 disqualifies to acquaint yourself adequately on facts and not speculations. Also, stop making her the victim since it was not only her decision, but the judgement of the EC as a whole by which she chairs.

Hmmm, Ghana court. All the disqualified presidential aspirants should be reinstated. If not so, then it means judges in Ghana are biased. Now in Ghana, if you have money no court will rule against you. This is pure birth day gift ruling to Ayikoe Otoo.Chief Justices, stand up the truth in every case is missing in our courts.

Who told Ghanaians that because the EC is independent they are immune to lawsuit and from the court's jurisdiction? The independence of the EC only means they're independent from the influence and decision-makings of the executive branch, that does not mean they're not under the laws of Ghana. In all democratic countries, the law reigns supreme. I'm glad the stupid decision to disqualify electoral candidates by the EC has been quashed by the high courts. It was a stupid decision and set a dangerous precedent, too. Glad it has been overturned.

Should the same reasoning or logic be applied in an interview or examination for a lot of candidates from which one needs to be taken? The court must use common sense. This is where Human Laws are full of laws and disagreements.

It is all about Shortlisting. I mean SHORTLISTING from one level to another. From the EC's level or point of view to the Electorate point of view. So is the Court telling is today. They should not create chaos in the country.

Simple logic, common sense!!!!

This is a terrible, terrible ruling by the High Court. The EC acted within their powers and they did not act ultra vires. This is calling for chaos in the judicial system. This is like Fifa reversing the decision of a refree for a penalty because by mistake a player handled the ball in his own 18.

Shame on the EC. She was out to do her master's bidding but failed. The God of Heaven and Earth is exposing and shaming the election riggers. Their collaborators will similarly be exposed and put to shame. So mote it be !!!

Now he has to face double endorsements of the Central and Volta regions disqualification. The EC decision still stand on that. The court did not remove the disqualification on that so Nduom should hold his horses.
