THE PETITIONS, BOYCOTTS, ADDITIONAL PETITIONS, PRESS CONFERENCES WERE ALL DESIGNED TO RUFFLE MAHAMA AND TAKE HIS FOCUS FROM WORK AND PURSUING HIS AGENDA AS PRESIDENT BUT THANK GOD THE MAN IS FOCUSED AND GOING ABOUT HIS BUSINESS AS REQUIRED. THOSE INTERESTED IN THE DELAY ARE NANA AND HIS THINK-ALIKES WHO WANT TO ROLL ON THIS CASE UNTIL THE NPP PRIMARIES SO THAT THEY COULD USE IT IN FAVOUR OF NANA. THIS IS OBVIOUS. AND I HAVE MADE IT WELL KNOWN FROM DAY 1. NANA'S PRESENCE IN COURT IS NOT TO UNSEAT JOHN MAHAMA BECAUSE IN FACT HE CAN'T OD IT AND NOTHING IS THERE TO SHOW THAT WILL MAKE THIS POSSIBLE. SURELY HE NEEDS HIS POSITION AS NPP FLAG-BEARER IN THE 2016 ELECTIONS AND THAT IS WHAT HE IS FIGHTING FOR. THE TOP GURUS AND WELL THINKING PERSONS IN NPP KNOW THIS AND HAVE READ THROUGH NANA'S PLANS. SO CERTAINLY AND OBVIOUSLY THE COURT CASE IS ABOUT WINING SYMPATHY FOR NANA COME THE TIME TO CHOOSE NPP FLAG-BEARER. FOR NANA IT WILL BE GOOD CLIMATE IF THE COURT CASE LINGERS ON UNTIL IT ENTERS INTO THE PERIOD OF PRIMARIES FOR FLAG-BEARER. IF ANYBODY IS HAVING HEAD-ACHE OR WORRIES OF UNCERTAINTIES ABOUT THIS COURT CASE IT IS THE NPP ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO THINK THE TIME FOR NANA IS OVER. MAHAMA IS NOT IN THE LEAST DISTURBED BECAUSE HE KMNOWS THAT NANA'S FIGHT IN CVOURT IS NOT AGAISNT HIM BUT AGAINST NANA'S OWN PERCEIVED INTERNAL RIVALS FOR THE FLAG-BEARER POSITION IN THE NPP. (BRUTUS de ROMA can always be consulted if detail analysis is required. The writings and NANA's TACTICAL MOVES ARE ALL WRITTEN BOLDLY ON THE WALLS. You only need to open your mind and your eyes and see them glaringly visible. Only those who have decided to be blind and blank in mind will not see)

YOUR COMMENTS ARE MINORITY VIEWS AND IT WON'T GET YOU FAR. WHEN ALL THESE COMES TO A CLOSURE, YOU WILL REALIZE HOW NAIVE YOU HAVE BEEN. THE ODDS ARE AGAINST NDC. MAHAMA IS NOT DESTINED TO BE PRESIDENT HENCE ALL THESE CHAOS AFTER ALMOST 3 MONTHS OF ELECTIONS.

Nana is playing a trick on NPP by doing everything to ensure that the trial delays as long as possible so that the will be forced to allow him to run in 2016.

Just imagine: Claiming irregularities in 12,000 polling stations yet no MP in these stations is contesting their election results? Anyone who believes this will believe anything. I tell you, the NPP has no evidence whatsoever. It is just Nana's trick to hang on as the flag bearer in 2016.

Somebody once said:

"Satan is not always as black as we paint him to be."

A quick look at this statement, especially from Christianity point of view is evil, but a careful and critical re-consideration of it, reveals the wisdom in it.

After all, there are times that onr visits the fetish priests for solutions to some of our earthly problems and if some people could attest to the fact that they obtained real solutions, then,

'satan is not always as black as we paint him'.

And although Okatakyie Nana Akuffo Addo and his wise men are being regared as 'satan', now, at the end of the day, after the verdict, Ghanaains and the whole world would reap the fruits from the tree which, Nana Akufo Addo, Osagyefo, Okatakyie, Atoapoma,ahunampobrim,susubribi and his two wise and brave mem have planted.

"..Courage brothers, do not stumble.
Though thy paths be as dark as night,
Whether losing, whether winning,
Trust in God and do the Right.

Some may hate you, some may love you,
Trust in God and do the Right."

We always assume our smartness and quarrel over hypothetical reasoning. How can this author know how someone feels? And cynical arguments like these "That is why I urge the Supreme Court to come out with a ruling quickly because whichever way one sees it, at the end of the day it's Ghanaians who stand to gain nothing from a protracted court case." Holy cow!

Well said!! I believe there were definitely irregularities in these last elections but I also believe that these were not directly orchestrated by Mahama. It seems more like the work of the desperados like Asiedu Nketiah who master-minded this whole thing. As for Afari Gyan the less said about him the better. He made it so clear from the onset that he was biased. He should go donw in history as the most dishonest electoral commissioner. He should go back to the history books and find out how the late Justice Abban stood for the will and rights of the people. Cheap man Afari Gyan. Shame on you!!!

Nothing will change: stupid road accidents, darkness, no clean water, congestion, no roads, no railway, poor airport, foreign control of the government, mysterious fire outbreaks, unnecessary delays in court proceedings, etc etc, is what you will continue to have until you change your vote.

We should all pray for the justices to be guided with the Wisdom of God to give a verdict or ruling equivalent to that of King Solomon.The wisest and richest king ever, ruled that the live baby belonged to the lady who showed compassion for the baby."My Majesty, do not split this child between the two of us, please, give him to this woman so the baby will have life." "You are the true biological mother of this child, take this baby with you,that is your baby." Said King Solomon.Justices of the Supreme Court should seek for the Lord's wisdom and rule for the betterment of the nation of Ghana.They should adjudicate without fear or favor and without protracted delay.

This is very very true. Some Ghanaians do not know where to blame ,who to blame and what to blame.

The NPP members of parliament boycotted the inauguration of President Mahammah.

They refused to participate in the vetting of candidates appointed by President Mahamah to be his ministers.

They refused to participate in the recent address by the president.

Who is to be blamed?

It is not the three aggrieved petitioners.

It is not the NPP elected members of parliament.

Neither is it the NPP, as a political party.

But rather, it is:

1. The drafters of the Constitution, because, they saw the problem but not the solution.

2.The Supreme Court.- the NPP is saying that, until the verdict is given by the Supreme Court,they are not going to participate or honor anything which involves President Mahamah, because they felt, the election was rigged, and if the Constitution had not erred, the petition would had been resolved before the president-elect, then Mr Mahamah, was sworn in, as now, President Mahammah.

3. The axiom in law is that:
"Justice Delayed, is Justice Denied", and so anytime which is being wasted since the filling of the petition is; 'Justice being denied', and,

Disgrace, Frustration, and Disrespect to the President and Not The NPP or The Three Petitioners.

Please Supreme Court, expedite your ruling.

JUSTICE DELAY IS JUSTICE DENIED

Therefore the Supreme Court Judges should engaged Technology Experts to examine carefully, all the part and pieces of the bi-metric equipments which were sent to the Northern and Volta Regions in particular.

Fools live in fool's paradise but believers live in God's paradise. Do you believe that John Mahama lost the last election and the EC changed the votes to make him a winner? Were the figures changed at the polling stations, coalation centers or the Head Office strong room? Your views may be published as part of this research.

Good piece there. The supreme court is now on spotlight whether the court can be a bastion of justice. God shall reward them even after their death but if they fail to dispense justice the repurcussions will not be on the justices but be upon their children and their children's children.The verdict which other way will reward hardwork for both parties, with NDC the foot soldiers should be happy if the verdict does no go their way because the party hiearchy will respect them and will need their support for campaigning but if the incumbent party can bribe EC for election victory then foot soldiers are irrelevant to election victory. With NPP if the verdict goes to their favour then hard work pays so there is no need to bribe the EC.

President Mahama did not declare himself winner and was sworn in by Chief Justice,Georgina Wood with the Holy Bible.If today NPP is telling us that the President is a "thief and stealer" then what about the Chief Justice?The President represents the people of Ghana so if the Head of State is a thief then the insult affects all of us including the NPP.Sometimes,I don't understand NPP's position in Ghanaian politics,they are virtually destroying all the Institutions in Ghana.They have discredited EC,now attacking and insulting the Chief Justice.Nobody can force the Supreme Court how to go about their job,where are we going?I'm afraid NPP is becoming Satanic.Thank you.
