  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.
  
  Culled from Bloomberg.

  this is an innovative and a laudable idea but there are setbacks too. The EC can decide not to perforate other candidates position and this can ignite fire against the elections

  One other method is to tear the sheet into pieces and arranged seperately acorrding to the parties on a table.Empty envelopes provided equalling to total voters for that polling station.A voter picks one each of the sheets and enters the polling cage ,then selects the prefered candidate and puts that sheet inside the envelope and then into the ballot box.Note that the use of the envelope is to avoid a person from entering two or more sheets to invalidate the votes in that box.Any envelope with more than one sheet is invalidated outright without affecting the votes in the box when counting begins.Each voter must as a matter of principle PUT all the other remaining sheets in a dust- bin provided at the polling cage.Here no use of ink and no perforation.The EC must regularly change the colour of the envelopes as a SECURITY MESURE of other future elections.
