    I trust the supreme court; justice will be served and npp will drop on their sword of lies. They, npp was conceived with lies, gave birth to lies and will die with lies.

    When I heard, Jake alleged that the party discover a sophisticated fraud, which skewed the result to JM I thought this is serious allegation and the president and EC are in trouble. However, when I read the empty petition and ...

  • Kofi Ata, Cambridge, UK 11 years ago

    Gabby, for your information only 77,130 votes from Mahama would be necessary to get a second round. See my article "The Mathematical Conundrum for NPP", Ghanaweb December 12, 2012. Nana Akufo Addo also needs 248,734 votes to ...

  • Bone 11 years ago

    It was interesting to note that while you were going on about law cases and such and such you failed in the most fundamental of appreciation of law. It is not for the respondents to deny with evidence, rather it is the petiti ...

    Intellectual dishonesty. Rubbish!

  • NYAABA (BOLGA) 11 years ago

    I personally recomment MR Asare Gabby Otchere-Darko be made the 10th Judge of the Supreme Court of the land.The simple reason is that Mr Gabby has NO fear of any consequences of his utterances or written piece.

  • Joe 11 years ago

    Gabby, even we non lawyers can punch deep holes in your arguments. If the applicants fail to adduce necessary and sufficient evidence to merit their allegations, all that the respondents need to do is to make a submission of ...

    this case will have a significant impact on the fate of our democracy and, by extension, that of Africa, as a whole. Our justices have every reason to show that they are on top of this pinnacle of history, whether we fall fro ...

    Is Gabby trying to teach the Supreme Court Judges how to do their work and also tell Ghanaians that the judgement should go NPP's way and that is what what the people of Ghana should prepare themselves for??
    Good lawyer!!!

  • Nana Yaw III 11 years ago

    It is quite interesting that we are being inundated with calls for an expeditious treatment of the petition at the Supreme Court (SC) case over the last few days.. On Ghanaweb, I have read articles such as:

  • Whatever 11 years ago

    Did I read well what Gabby just wrote that what is in dispute is not facts and figures but its effects? Lord have mercy. Then lets throw the DEMOCRACY away and go for TECHNOCRACY. You want the supreme court to annul over 4mil ...

  • WUNTIRA 11 years ago

    WHETHER GABBY AND THE NPP LIKE OR NOT THE STATUS QUO IS WHAT IS GOING TO PREVAIL. THE SUPREME COURT WILL NOT BE THAT FOOLISH TO CHANGE THE STATUS QUO. ANOTHER ISSUE GABBY SHOULD NOTE IS THAT MANY GHANAIANS WILL PREFER TO DIE ...

  • AKWESI ABDALLAH ALBERT 11 years ago

    Gabby[Gabbage]Darko is one of the lawyers defending Akuffo-Addo,so,what does he want. Rubbish.

  • Whatever 11 years ago

    Did Gabby just write experts and legal arguments should be the basis on which Ghana elects her president? Has he forgotten we are in DEMOCRACY. Does he want War in Ghana or what? We are in DEMOCRACY, the unblemished rule by t ...

    No doubt the learned Otchere Darko has spent a lot of time researching and writing this article. My worries are the following:
    1. Your arguments about delays to the hearing seem to weigh heavily on the attitude of the respon ...

    By their latest application seeking to annul about 4m votes, i shudder to think that the votes of some of the very judges sitting on the case are also now in threat of being annulled. But i can't for my money see how our vene ...

    I don't really care what you think about me. I simply speak and defend the truth as I see it irrespective of what the situation is. Have read my comments on the doctors's strike today? You are not worth my time Akadu.

    Akadu had been under the hawk eyes vigilance of Ghana web readers for some time and my understanding is that he is a discredited and false academic.I may i agree with that because instead of his own analysis.he relies on quo ...

    As someone with Ll.b, I thought you were going to make a relevant legal contribution to the piece. Instead, what we see is a vain praise of Akufo-Addo. What relevance has your admiration of Nana got to do with the way and man ...
