The facts are clear for all to note! The NDC have always colluded with the EC to steal the ballot since 1992, as I've always posted here on this website. NDC have become so comfortable with cheating in elections that they thought nobody challenge them; they were wrong! Thanks for the courage of Nana Akufo-Addo & Co., this thing couldn't have been fought in court. Now the world awaits the Supreme Court verdict.

What did Kufour do all the time he won the elections. NDC party is more sensible than the Ashanti/Akyem party and will not go thru the back door to win elections by hook or crook. Tomorrow will show how dirty NPP party is and sore loses indeed. All NPP idiots will bow their ugly heads in shame and go on rampage to the bush where they belong.

lazy ndc people!!! they could not prove their case in court in 2004 because they're lasy. they thought because they could not do it other people could also not do. Academic and intelligent as the npp are, just give some credit to dr. pink sheet Bawumiah for the painstaking effort done at collating all these pink sheet/evidences.
At least if the npp loses this court case a new era is dawn on ghana elections and am only glad about that; no future elections in ghana will witness these myriad of voilations, malpractices, omission and irregularities. SHAME ON AFARI DJAN.... DJULOR!!!!

5. Voting Without Biometric verification and Absence of Signature of presiding officer
The combined violations of voting without biometric verification and absence of the signature of the presiding officer occurred in 3,463 polling stations (listed in Table 8 of Volume 2A, with each polling station appearing only once, i.e. no double counting).
The combined impact of voting without biometric verification and absence of the signature of the presiding officer on the results declared by the second respondent is presented in Figure 10 below. The Figure shows that the aggregate of votes in polling stations affected by voting without biometric verification and no signature of the presiding officer, as recorded on the pink sheets, is 1,349,851. Should the results from these polling stations be annulled, John Dramani Mahama, the 1st respondent, would not secure the required 50% plus of valid votes cast. Where these votes are annulled, John Dramani Mahama’s total votes would be reduced by 924,278, resulting in him securing 48.21% of valid votes cast. Nana Akufo-Addo’s total votes, on the other hand, would be reduced by 396,635, resulting in him securing 50.31% of valid votes cast. The constitutional and statutory violations of voting without biometric verification and absence of the signature of the presiding officer, therefore, would have had a material effect on the election results declared by the 2nd respondent. In that situation, Nana Akufo-Addo, 1st petitioner, ought to be declared validly elected as President.

VOTES AFFECTED BY VOTING WITHOUT BIOMETRIC VERIFICATION &
Where the results from the 3,128 polling stations (Table 8A of Volume 2A) affected by these two categories of violations, using the “Respondents’ Preferred Data Set”, are annulled, John Dramani Mahama, the 1st respondent, would not secure the required 50% plus of valid votes cast to be elected President. Figure 11 below shows that, where these votes are annulled on the basis of the Respondents Preferred Data Set, John Dramani Mahama’s total votes would be reduced by 836,658, resulting in him securing 48.49% of valid votes cast. Nana Akufo-Addo’s total votes, on the other hand, would be reduced by 361,018, resulting in him securing 50.02% of valid votes cast. The constitutional and statutory violations of voting without biometric verification and absence of the signature of the presiding officer, therefore, would have had a material effect on the election results declared by the 2nd respondent, even if one accepts the “Respondents’ Preferred Data Set”. In the circumstance, the 1st petitioner ought to be declared validly elected President.

VOTES AFFECTED BY VOTING WITHOUT BIOMETRIC VERIFICATION
The combined violations of over-voting and the use of duplicate serial numbers occurred in 9,397 polling stations (listed in Table 9 of Volume 2B, with each polling station appearing only once in the analysis, i.e. no double counting).
The combined impact of over-voting and the use of duplicate serial numbers on the results declared by the 2nd respondent is presented in Figure 12 below. The Figure shows that the aggregate of votes in polling stations affected by over-voting and the use of duplicate serial numbers, as recorded on the pink sheets, is 3,675,411. Should the results from these polling stations be annulled, John Dramani Mahama, the 1st respondent, would not secure the required 50% plus of valid votes cast. Where these votes are annulled, John Dramani Mahama’s total votes would be reduced by 2,452, 270, resulting in him securing 42.66% of valid votes cast. Nana Akufo-Addo’s total votes, on the other hand, would be reduced by 1,152,903, resulting in him securing 55.96% of valid votes cast. The violations, malpractices and irregularities of over-voting and the use of duplicate serial numbers, therefore, would have had a material effect on the election results declared by the 2nd respondent. In that circumstance, Nana Akufo–Addo, 1st petitioner, ought to be declared validly elected President.

Where the results from the 8,383 polling stations (Table 9A of Volume 2B) affected by these two categories of violations and malpractices using the “Respondents’ Preferred Data Set” are annulled, again, John Dramani Mahama, the 1strespondent, would not secure the required 50% plus of valid votes cast to be elected. Figure 13 below shows that annulling the results based on “Respondents’ Preferred Data Set” would mean that John Dramani Mahama’s total votes would be reduced by 2,197,161, resulting in him securing 43.91% of valid votes cast. Nana Akufo-Addo’s total votes, on the other hand, would be reduced by 1,044,014, resulting in him securing 54.66% of valid votes cast. The constitutional and statutory violations and malpractices of over-voting and the use of duplicate serial numbers, therefore, would have had a material effect on the election results declared by the 2nd respondent, even if one accepts the “Respondents’ Preferred Data Set”. In this circumstance also, 1st petitioner ought to be declared validly elected President.

To complete the statistical analysis, the petitioners also present the impact of the annulment of votes for each violation, malpractice or irregularity on its own.
7. Over-voting
Annulling votes based solely on over-voting will affect 1,722 polling stations in the following
categories: MB-C, MB-D, MB-E, MB-U, MB-F, MB-G, MB-H, MB-X, MB-J, MB-AA, and MBK (see Table 10 of Volume 2B for a list of polling stations where over-voting occurred along with votes affected).
The impact of over-voting on the results declared by the 2nd respondent is presented in Figure 14 below, which shows that the aggregate number of votes in polling stations as affected by over-voting, as recorded on the pink sheets, is 745,569.
Should the results from these polling stations where over-voting took place be annulled, neither 1st respondent nor 1stpetitioner would secure the required 50% plus of valid votes cast. In the event, John Dramani Mahama’s total votes would be reduced by 504,014, resulting in him securing 49.47% of valid votes cast. Nana Akufo-Addo’s total votes, on the other hand, would be reduced by 226,198, resulting in him securing 49.0% of valid votes cast. The constitutional and statutory violation of over-voting, therefore, would have had a material effect on the election results declared by the 2nd respondent. In that event, there ought to be a second election between the two leading candidates, in accordance with article 63(4) of the Constitution.
Should the results from 1,588 polling stations (Table 10A of Volume 2B) from the “Respondents’ Preferred Data Set” where over-voting occurred be annulled, again neither the 1st respondent nor 1st petitioner would secure the required 50% plus of valid votes cast. Figure 15 below shows that annulling these votes means that John Dramani Mahama’s total votes would be reduced by 462,094, resulting in him securing 49.59% of valid votes cast. Nana Akufo-Addo’s total votes, on the other hand, would be reduced by 208,722, resulting in him securing 48.88% of valid votes cast. The constitutional and statutory violation of over-voting, therefore, would have had a material effect on the election results declared by the 2nd respondent even if one accepts the “Respondents’ Preferred Data Set”. In that circumstance, there ought to be a second election between the two leading candidates, in accordance with article 63(4) of the Constitution.
Figure 15: IMPACT OF ANNULLMENT OF VOTES DUE TO OVERVOTING USING RESPONDENT’S PREFERRED DATASET
The respondents have further argued that pink sheets for which the number of ballots papers issued to voters eligible to vote at the polling station (column C1 on the pink sheet) was left blank (or filled as zero) should be excluded, because ballot accounting is not possible. There are 223 such pink sheets in the “Respondents’ Preferred Data Set” (Table 10B of Volume 2B). If these pink sheets are excluded, as argued, the impact of the annulment of votes as a result of over-voting still leaves the 1st respondent short of 50% plus of valid votes cast required. Figure 16 below shows that excluding the pink sheets for which C1 is zero or blank would mean that John Dramani Mahama’s total votes would be reduced by 399,518, resulting in him securing 49.74% of valid votes cast. Nana Akufo-Addo’s total votes, on the other hand, would be reduced by 179,917, resulting in him securing 48.72% of valid votes cast. The constitutional and statutory violation of over-voting, therefore, would have had a material effect on the election results declared by the 2nd Respondent. Again, in that circumstance, there ought to second election between the two leading candidates, in accordance with article 63(4) of the Constitution.
