    Margaret Jackson has no brains to discuss anything intelligent. She is too much NDC leaning that she does not tell the truth.

    What a beautiful article which puts the NPP to shame. The NPP members only know one thing. If an article does not go their way they descend heavily on the one who wrote it. If any member of theirs say something that does not ...

    Margaret, try and improve on ur profession. Your stories are never accurate, always bias. A lot of people will never take ur stories serious, just save ur profession.

    SO SERIAL NUMBERS MATTER HERE WHICH IS PART OF THE ELECTION. THEREFORE SERIAL NUMBERS MATTER IN THE ELECTION. SIMPLE!

  • Oppong Kyekyeku 10 years ago

    That was when Philip Addison started to melt as he found himself on the ropes. Addison could not tell the court if serial numbers have been used to identify polling stations and simply started to beat about the bush with his ...

    But, like Akoto Ampaw,he may have taken on the job because he must put food on the family table,that if he has any. I do agree with Maggie Jackson though that his oral address,as well as the Q & A session, was a total disaste ...

    How does Addison know that in all previous elections serial numbers were unique? Why no reference to serial numbers in the election materials, why until this NPP, polling stations were identified by their unique codes? This c ...

    NO DOUBT ABOUT THE PRINTER CREATING SERIAL NUMBERS FOR COUNTING. BUT HOW COME THE SECOND SET OF PINK SHEETS WERE ALSO USED WHEN THE FIRST SET WAS MORE THAN ENOUGH?

  • BOY KOFI 10 years ago

    Dr Afar Gyan explained that the EC does not use serial numbers of pink sheets to declare élections.If we look at the records from 1992 to 2012 we can see if indeed the EC has used it before in declaring results.This means th ...

    I would bet Afari Gyan has used this trick of duplicated serial numbers time and time again, but because nobody has gone this far to investigate the doings, he has always got away with it until now. So it would be hard for an ...
