And people like Baffoe BONEE is a judge in Ghana. His pre judgemental position would not permit him to give any good hearing talkless to pass any good judgement. Has he ever sat down to think that the difference between ten million and ten million and one is one? Just by one vote 10m people's decision can be made useless.

ATUGUBA CANT BE TRUSTED!
An electoral rule accepted by all parties was that no one should be allowed to vote without biometric verification. NBNV was the slogan accepted by all parties..Another electoral rule related to over-voting, where the number of votes cast exceeded the number of registered voters. Still another electoral rule is the polling station results must be certified with the signature of the presiding officer. None of the three was unanimously upheld.
If biometric verification is not that important then why did Ghana spend nearly $75 million and went through all that trouble for the biometric registration – even at the cost of some lives - if it was not going to be used in the election?
Ghanaians living abroad continued to be disenfranchised. They send home about $10 billion a year in remittances, which helps the economy. You want their money but their votes? • The registration period was shortened to two weeks (1 15 October), despite Ghana's Interim National Electoral Commission's own estimate of three months back in 1992. • Aliens were registered to vote exactly the same problem noted in the 1992 IFES Report. • Large quantities of fake registration papers were discovered. • The deputy electoral commissioner David Akanga reported over 2 million registration papers missing, although he later retracted this statement. • The names of thousands of registered voters in opposition strongholds were deleted from the register; in other areas names had been inserted. • Capricious shortening of the registration period to two weeks (Oct 1-15), despite the INEC's own estimate of 3 months back in 1992. • Reports of aliens being registered to vote -- exactly the same problem noted in your 1992 Report: "Thhere were reports that several people registered and casting ballots were not Ghanaian citizens" (Free Press, Sept 20-26, 1995). • Discovery of large quantities of fake registration papers: "Tension has been aggravated by the surfacing of fake registration cards in various parts of the country," The Ghanaian Chronicle, Sept 25-28, 1995; p.5). • Over 2 million registration papers were reported missing by the Deputy Electoral Commissioner, David Akanga, although he later retracted this statement.
Fifty-six years after independence, we act like children playing with fire. I must warn that the destruction of an African country – regardless of the ideology, religion or ethnicity of the leader - always begins with a dispute over the electoral process. Our next door neighbor, Ivory Coast, descended into chaos, savage civil war and carnage following a dispute over the Nov 2010 elections, We dodged the bullet this time around but will we in 2016? What if the losing candidate in 2016 decides not to go to the Supreme Court because it is politically biased and chooses to go to the streets or the bush?
It is imperative to clean up the electoral process and make electoral irregularities a thing of the past. Kofi Annan has called for electoral reforms. The Justices at the SC should have echoed this call. It is now left to the president or Parliament to set up a bipartisan commission to clean up the Electoral Commission

I blame entirely the porous defence put up by the 3 respondents for Paul granting the relief sought under this new-fangled understanding reached by the EC with the pol. parties prior to the election.
Why on earth couldn't the EC present the records from the barometric machines to support his claim that no one voted without barometric verification, id indeed, he wasn't lying? Of course, he simply didn't know what he was saying, as he wasn't there too!
Secondly, why couldn't the 1st and 3rd Respondents argued on the constitutionality of NBVNV, accepting that, they are all erred by agreeing to something like that? They totally failed to present any legal arguments against the NVBNV idea. NVNV should be simply verification by all means: barometric and Voter's photo ID. The manufacturers of that machine failed to embody a function whereby a code given to those registered can also be inputted to allow the details of the person to appear, just as is done at tills in the shop when the bar code strip fails to read. Once it is used, the machine locks you up and so cannot be used repeatedly.
NBVNV is simply unconstitutional. The justices who dismissed that relief acted correctly, ignoring the failure of the Respondents to act and argue properly.

Atuguba wanted his nephew to keep his job as an Executive Assistant toPresident Mahamah. Plain and simple. Atuguba was not trueful to Ghanaians when he opined that the SC panels various judgement was ready and lodged with the Secretary to the Courts. In fact he Atuguba was so anxious he read a wrong judgement which was corrected after 24 hours in the books. Atuguba is treacherous, dishonest, and did not exhibit objectivity throghout the deliberations In fact if dotse a Kuffuor had not allowed his tribal affliations with Tsikata to cloud his objectivity Mahamah could have lost 4 to 5. THE PETITIONERS in their own right should have taken him off the panel. Isnt it ironic that Rawlings appointees: ATUGUBA, GBADEGBE, AKOTO BAMFO, voted deciding that NO VOTER INFRACTIONS TOOK PLACE in the December 2012 election and that the PETITION was without merit?. GOD SAVE GHANA Nana will win hands down next time. IT is now open sected that ATUGUBA twisted Dotses arms to vote with him.

Really? We are setting very bad and dangerous precedents here and we shall live to pay the price. Today is NDC in power but we normally forget easily that no condition is permanent. Since we have started ignoring constitutional provisions and filling them in with our common sense and logical analysis deem fit to us, we are creating long term pandemonium that will creat bigger issues than what we have today. How do we know that citizens who voted actually have their votes counted as they wanted? If the results is not signed it only means that is not authentic and anybody could have swapped the original result for another. But today is OK and i hope it shall be like that all the time, for your sake, Justice Baffoe.

The petitioner submitted clear evidence of "voting without biometric verification" from the 2nd respondent's OWN pink sheets.

Kobena, the respondents wanted to tender the BVD print outs as exhibits but was opposed by the petitioners and was upheld by the judges.There is no length you can not go to undermine an otherwise reasonable decision of the SC judges.I am not surprised by your stance since your sense of reasoning is beclouded by your partisan interest which unfortunately had affected your sense of judgement.
Sorry Kobena you have lost it even in science you don’t use a small sample from a political stronghold to determine a whole.Determining Percent Composition requires knowing the mass of entire object or molecule and the mass of its components.
So its wrong to use a backdoor approach to hoodwink the judges by using technicalities to power.Sometimes I wonder whether you actually believe in what you say because some of your analysis beggars believe.
Whether you like it or not the courts have their principles which guide them and apart from the law common sense is also applied.There was no evidence of the petitioners allegation of padding the the presidents votes.The election was as well transparent so why do you want to win on technicalities.
In arriving at their decisions the courts recognize one of its major principles the role of equity in arriving at its judgements. Equity has always been the conscience of the judicial system and has always been charged with doing complete justice regardless of technicalities.

At least you are arguing without insults. The petitioners presented data from 24,000 out of 26,002 polling stations. That is 92%. Surely that cannot be called a small sample. Since the respondents wanted to disprove the petitioners' case why didn't they present the remaining 2002, since they were the custodians of it?
For the judges, in my line of work if four out of five or 80% of my data flash a red light, I would certainly go back to review every available information there is, because that means millions of dollars!
Besides, Justice Dotse and to some extent Justice Ansah were the only ones who tried to put the SC's own questions and find answers to them.
That is my point. I don't particularly care who won the case. My concern is that we should begin to do the right thing in Ghana!

Ten thousand polling stations out of twenty six thousand polling stations can not be 92%. In fact their sample was about 40% which is an unreasonable sample for determination of a whole.

Carl,
My point is that the Petitioners, with the limited amount of time at their disposal, looked at data from 24,000 polling stations that were available to them. Out of that they found 11,915 or 45.8% of them to have been affected by irregularities. From these more than one third or over 33.3% of the total votes cast in the election were found to have been tainted. If the difference between the winner and the next candidate is only about 2%, then surely an error of 33.3% cannot just be wished away.
And especially if after 8 months of examination, 80% of the reviewers raise red flags, then for the sake of thoroughness and the reviewers' own peace of mind ,it is worth calling for and reviewing EVERY piece of available information!

Tsastu's argument resonated, RETROACTIVE PENALTY. The Judge respects that and he is unable to annul votes of folks that have done nothing wrong. He could only ask for revote for those who were also disenfranchised because they could not vote due to the biometric requirements and machine malfunction. Unfortunately it was 5:4 and that is it.

This is the most foolish, dumbest judgement I have ever heard in my life. I do not believe this judge said or wrote this. What this judge is saying is that let every household get a basket during the elections and let all members of the household cast their votes into that basket. Let us count them at the end of the day and let us collect same across the country, count and tally then he who would get the highest number is declared winner!!. Look, there are rules that govern everything we do and if the rules are compromised in anyway it tends to affect the results and for that reason the game at worst must be cancelled and a new one started. How can voting with biometric verification be implemented in some part of the country not in other parts of the country? Let me tell Ghanaians that this judgement brings instant peace but in the long run it is problematic for the country. Henceforth, no matter the quality of the evidence, no one would seek the legal redress because judges simply "cannot annul votes" because the voters did not cause the problem. What a foolish judgement!!

See where wisdom resides? There is no election ever held the world over that does not have flaws. The most important ingredient there is whether those flaws should affect the outcome of an election. If the answer is no, there is no reason why such election results should not be upheld. Clerical and technical missteps should not be reason why a valid vote should be overturned or those voters who are affected by those errors, should be disenfranchised, which is what the NPP sought to do with their petition. They want peoples' votes to be cancelled (which is disenfranchisement), due to technicalities, but still want to rule over those same people, after throwing away their votes - granted that relief is granted.

I'm sure Justice Baffoe Bonnie is aware of shifting of burden of proof. When the petitioners used the pink sheet as their primary source document to demonstrate over-voting, and you claim there were other source documents such as the voters register to completely prove over-voting, besides pink sheets, at some polling stations, the burden of proof shifted to the 2nd respondent to produce the other source documents, such as the voters register, to support their defence that over-voting did not take place. The failure of the respondents to demonstrate same at ALL the polling stations mentioned by the petitioners left the petitioners claim of over-voting on the face of the pink sheet unrefutted. Further, when Justice B B claims even where over-voting occurred, the numbers were insignificant. He could stated this so called "insignificant" number. Justice B B, from how many pink sheets did you find over-voting for you to conclude the number was not sufficient to affect the results? Just curious!!!

If you can't annul votes, how can you listen to an election petition? what was the purpose of having you adjudicate a burning issue like this? You can mediate a case to bring peace but you cannot award or settle matters between the two competing parties. That means you do not qualify to mediate this case. You are not qualified to be a judge because you cannot settle matters betwixt two parties. this tells me that Baffoe Bonnie did receive bribe from jon thief mahama. If you cannot annul votes why would you accept to be one of the judges? After every case, there the winning party is awarded settlement so that the losing party pays a price. Baffoe Bonny is not qualified to be a judge, period!

How can a supreme court judge decide a case base on his own personal analysis exclusive of the underlying LAW especially on the question of over votes.
This is very shameful - he even agreed with Asiedu Nketia that there would be no over voting so far as the votes counted is not greater than the registered number of voters even if the counted votes is greater than the number of ballot papers actually given out to voters on voting day.
How can a judge be so myopic, no intellect and reasoning ability and these are the people who are suppose to interprete our laws. No wonder Ghana is beyond repairs.

It was a deliberate act by some evil people to over turn the will of the people. Those behind this evil plan do not deserve to live. They could have easily set the country ablaze if the noble justices of the Supreme Court did not think of the unity of the country and allowed their conscious to be misled by such evil people. As for those presiding officers who deliberately failed to sign those documents they should bow down their heads in big shame.

Yeah. Get the rap. Lol
PERHAPS YOU DO NOT THINK BEFORE WRITING HE DOES.
If you can not annul the votes because of failure of signing, then why don`t you nulify the whole procedure or conditions Afari Gyan set up for the election? No signature of EC`s Presiding Officer no validity.
If that still ...

What was the effect of the "Clerical errors" in an election in which the difference between the declared winner and the next candidate is less than 2%? The petitioner submitted clear evidence of "voting without biometric veri ...

Carl,
At least you are arguing without insults. The petitioners presented data from 24,000 out of 26,002 polling stations. That is 92%. Surely that cannot be called a small sample. Since the respondents wanted to disprove th ...

Ten thousand polling stations out of twenty six thousand polling stations can not be 92%. In fact their sample was about 40% which is an unreasonable sample for determination of a whole.
Carl,
My point is that the Petitioners, with the limited amount of time at their disposal, looked at data from 24,000 polling stations that were available to them. Out of that they found 11,915 or 45.8% of them to have been ...

obviosly he is making a point if that is how he infers from your statement he has a right so keep up with the discussion lol
If presiding officers signatures confirm a class of votes, and without it entire votes from some others can be nullified, then parties could scheme with returning officers to fix results.
Think about it.
They should not ...

Jerry, please save yourself and desist from these verbal attacks. Just give reasons why you disagree with the learned judges decision.
Really awesome
The Surpeme Court Judgement will hunt Ghanaians forever. Time will tell.
what does this means to readers?its straightforward and simple.he is doing what needs to be done as a judge.
I'm sure Justice Baffoe Bonnie is aware of shifting of burden of proof. When the petitioners used the pink sheet as their primary source document to demonstrate over-voting, and you claim there were other source documents suc ...

this judge was not using any legal argument for his judgement, he was just being human as he is
I disagree with you Pozo. This judge's view is right on the money
. To disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of voters (through no fault of theirs) because a presiding fails to sign will not have a place in modern democratic governance.
CASE CLOSED.
INDEED ALL THE JUDGES SHOWS THAT YOUR THERE FOR THE NATION BUT NOT THE POLITICAL PARTY. THANK GOD YOU PEOPLE BRING PEACE TO OUR DEAR NATION GHANA. THIS SHOWS THAT YOUR SENSIBLE AWESOME. GOD RICHLY BLESS US ALL.
even if Ndc macho men stole all the ballot boxes and stuffed them with votes, nothing could be done? Ndc should remember this will not be the last election to be held in Ghana. what is good for the goose will be equally good ...

How can a supreme court judge decide a case base on his own personal analysis exclusive of the underlying LAW especially on the question of over votes.

You are proud of him for telling such a big lie and God will never let you guys and those that lied to us about this court case go Scot free.
Why don't such a thing happen in USA. There was vote rigging in Florida but the Democrats sis not contest/appeal. I waited for the next election.
This MUST never happen again in Ghana.
what about those that were cancelled for the same reason in other constituencies?
Didn't you read his comment? In his opinion, those peoples whose votes were cancelled were disenfranchised; they should have been given another chance to vote before declaring the results.
this a judge who has done his judgement in a candid manner. God bless you Justice BB
Nonsense! Then what is your use as a judges? Basically, what the Judge is saying is that even if there is a genuine case that election is rigged there is nothing supreme court judges can do about it. So these will allow NDC ...

You are a liar!. That is how a supreme court judge must act! He did perfectly well, with fluing colours.

That's why you are a justice of the Supreme Court. The law has it's letter and spirit. A mechanical interpretation is contrary to the Directive Principles of State Policy in the 1992 constitution.
This is the best verdict so far. Well done Judge Baffoe-Bonnie. You are great! You are the best!
So,why then did you vote against that? Or you were drank when you were presenting your final judgement?
Are you telling us therefore that your mind was already made even before the end of the process.? I am not a lawyer but what I think is you have to bear in mind that you are setting a precedent and next time a similar case sh ...

It was not for nothing that about 2000 presiding officers did not sign the pink sheets. This is absolutely no coincidence. It was a deliberate act by some evil people to over turn the will of the people. Those behind this evi ...
