Power emanates from the people through the ballot box. When one is entrusted with this power which is misused through arbitrary arrests and detention without trial, to deny the source an ability to decide who should be President, then you leave the people no alternative but resort to same illegal methods to reclaim their power.

Is the same as helicopter crush. If mahama has joined, he will have died. Why some people cannot unite and help your own country.
