This is one major omission of the Media.
The EC must work within its budget whigh I doubt you lots understand.

Elections only capture the will of the people. There's no perfect election anywhere in the world.
Parties that refuse to work hard to win one torch, should not be allowed to drag a nation to war just because, they were lazy, divisive and pure incompetent.

Just ask yourself, will the NPP go to court on every policy when in government?

And yet with the broken English language a Nigerian has become the only Noble laurate of English literature in the entire African continent till date. You seem to also forget most of your Doctors and Professors read Nigerian literature books for their 'O & A' level literature in schools. Shame on you for that petiness and shallow brains of yours.

If being a Ghanaian doesn't constitute an insult; how can being a Nigerian become an insult and, in what ways are Nigerians inferior to Ghanians anyway; when Ghanaians copy virtually everything Nigerian, from music to dresses you find fanciful, marriage dress code and style of ceremony, films and even the very broken language lexicon you saught to insult Nigerians with are of common usage in Ghana. Isn't your attitude one of envy and jealousy cos you do not copy someone you hate to see his face. Shame on you.

Mahama is so heartless, wicked and corrupt that he wouldn’t blink stealing from a helpless orphan. Please read the following:
Ghana’s President Hurls Insults At Obasanjo At African Forum In London - bloomberg

There was near pandemonium and confusion at the Annual Global African Investment Forum held in Westminster, Central London after a heated exchange between Ghana’s President John Mahama and former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo degenerated into open insults.This was due to General Obasanjo openly accusing the Ghanaian president and his government of blackmailing and collecting bribes from Nigerian businessmen in Ghana, buying numerous properties in Nigeria and South Africa and financially contributing 12 million dollars to Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign last year. This infuriated President Mahama who lost his temper and pointing his finger, called General Obasanjo an ” idiot” and a “silly buffoon”.It took other ministers present as well as Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni to calm tempers and usher President Mahama to a nearby room. The forum, which takes place from 1st to 3rd December is attended by African Heads of States, Ministers, Private equity firms and investors to discuss opportunities for investment and development in African Economies.

Daily Guide and Kweku Baako, what situation has Ghana found itself in? Can you tell me what you think is wrong in Ghana? If you don't like the peace and level of development going on the country in a world plagued with all forms economic hardships and uncertainties where stronger countries are even feeling the pinch and stock markets are expected to collapse, take guns and shoot all government appointees down and take up the Presidency. I am particularly fed with the Trumpeting Noises NPP members and Bawumia are making in Ghana. Kill everybody else and let NPP take Ghana. We are tired of NPP.

These are the reasons Ghana needed a competent EC and EC chair. Yo don't appoint a person because he or she is your girlfriend. Charlotte Osei has no trace record. In fact all the time she was nominated to the bench, she was rejected. She is confused but it is not our concern. If she dare mess up, there she will no difference between girlfriend ship and competence. Out of her ignorance and incompetence, she listens to Illiterates like asieduwaa, dead goat and co thinking she is protected. She should not be in a fools paradise.

EC should publish all those who registered with NHIS card in the papers. This will help them to go and register again with the acceptable cards or means. NDC should stop misinterpretation of the Supreme Court Verdict. It is straight forward, EC should delete all the affected names before the exhibition of the voters register.

The Rule of Law can be simply defined as "Reasoning without Passion". How can the EC identify those who have passed on?????. Is there any administrative link between the registry of birth and death and the Electoral Commission? The Supreme Court's decision has done more harm to Ghanaians than good. If the electoral registrar is good, they should say so. If it is not good, they should declare it null and void for a new registrar to be compiled. It is just some few months to the November elections and time is not on our side. Please lets think about Ghana and stop the NPP and NDC mantra. All those parties came and met Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah's Ghana. Ghana first.

No Ghanaian wants to see our lovely nation goes to war but the incompetent attitude of Supreme Court could send our nation to a huge civil war (may God forbid). Their ruling announced in 2012 that "Election is won at polling station" is as bogus as their own incompetence. They are not well informed of the happenings of the world and so they still depend on the archaic laws in their statutory books. If they have had the courage and fortitude to order EC to prepare a new voter's register, the 10-day given to voters to register, which has led to total and disgraceful kiosk wouldn't have emerged. Ghana Supreme court is telling us that irrespective of whatever bad things or rigging act happens at the various polling stations, they don't care and when you bring election case to court, they will look in your eye and tell you "election is won at the polling station." Bogus and illiterate statement. Thus, why do we have the court system if they can not properly adjudicate cases impartially and always just want to protect the interest of the ruling government? God is watching them carefully. If they don't change, God will begin killing them with serious sickness. All they know is taking bribes in darkness. Shame on you, Ghanaians Supreme Court Justices.

Just have a new register done to save us from civil war and election disputes. The limited registration exercise was a flop. There should have been registration at all the existing polling stations. In our area, the Regimanuel estates along the Spintex, Nungua barrier, there was no registration post. It was only on the last stage that there was one at Sakumono Holy Child nursery. Most new voters were unable to register. What sort of country are we in. Somebody should go to court to compel the EC to extend the period.
