The evidence is over whelming. But will the Supreme Court step up to plate and deliver? I hope.

Mr Sayibu, do not talk so much. The much talked about swapping of numbers, unbeknown to the petitioners, are among the over 11,000 pink sheets that the court have in possession. Those sheets are going to expose Afari Gyan when my good friend Addison start to cross examine the stealers. We also are going to expose Afari Gyan big time on the alleged 241,000 diasporan voter register which, even as i'm typing now, the EC is struggling to make up the difference of about 240,000. The electoral system is perfect, just that, the stealers, through their wicked machinations, were able to succeed in running the elections in two days, whereby they used some unintelligent and arithmetically deficient Ghana Police personnel to smuggled more than necessary ballot papers into the ballot boxes they were supposed to protect overnight till the next voting day. In fact that accounted for the main reasons why there were more than necessary ballot papers issued than the voter turnout in countably many counter puling stations across the country. Stealer Mahama could have gotten away with this crime, had Afari-Gyan not been foolishly arrogant to ask the NPP to go to court. Asiedu Nketia should vent his anger solely on Afari Gyan for the foiled attempt to steal the elections. If forumers are observant, they could see how Asiedu Nketia and Afari Gyan have grown more bones than fresh since the court case began. They ain't seen nothing yet. Greetings to all my countrymen who are not afraid of the truth

I HAVE TAUGHT IN THE CLASSROOM FOR MANY YEARS. WHEN I TEACH I SEE CLEARLY THAT SOME OF MY STUDENTS DO NOT FOLLOW WHAT I SAY AND YET THEY NOD LIKE LIZARDS AS IF ALL IS WELL. I SUSPECT THAT THE NPP SUPPORTERS ARE DOING THE SAME. THEY DONT SEEM TO FOLLOW THE PROCEDURES OF THE COURT AND HOW BAWUMIA'S RESPONSES TO QUESTIONS ARE DAMAGING THEIR CASE. THESE SUPPORTERS RATHER THINK HE IS A HERO AND THEY WANT TO DEIFY HIM BEFORE THE END OF THE CASE. OO ILLITERATE ARAB JOKERS.

I don't see how you can annul any of the votes so far. The polling agents signed the forms, it was added at the collation centres, like Tarzan said the horse has already left the barn. There are procedures to lodge complaints at the polling stations which were not followed. What are the judges to do?

On the face of the pink sheets, they had the liberty to sign or refuse to sign with explanation. Is NPP saying that they did not educate their polling agents enough, Hey, that may have been the case since they saw their polling agents only as exalted observers. How can we entrust the whole nation to someone who cannot even chose responsible agents to supervise two day event. I would fire a contractor who subcontracts to an incompetent group... NICE TRY, BUT WE GOT YOU!!!

All those against the live telecast are dishonorable people who want to use propaganda to hide the truth. Example is Hassan Ayariga, the PNC flagbearer. Kudos to all Ghanaians for accepting the live telecast.

Nana Addo,Bawumia and Jake the petitioners have been given all the fine opportunities in the world to prove their case.Nana Addo has prove to the whole wide world why he should have won the 2012 presidential election.As for Bawumia,all his evidence has no value in the face of the Constitution,be mindful.Then Jake the petitioner has nothing to say.Please keep your anxiety to yourself,you cannot tell the judges what to do.We don't need a teddy bear to interprete laws for us.Thank you.

You chose to pick on what suites you. The Electoral Commission also stated clearly that the polling stations were the starting point of all challenges, and must be commenced by party agents who witnessed the offences, irreguarities etc. Up till now, the NPP has not produced even one polling agent to present a challenge he/she made at a polling station. The law and the process are both important. You cannot jettison your polling agents as if election day they were driven out of the polling stations.

NPP will not dare to put ONLY ONE polling agent in the witness box. They know that will be the end of their case. I CHALLENGE THE NPP HIGH to produce just one polling agent who was in any of the contested polling stations, Dr. Bawumiah keeps reminding the court that not he nor his cross examiners were present at the polling station. Well at least they had agents o the sites. IF THEY CAN REALLY EMMBRACE THE TRUTH AS HE CLAIMS, LET US DARE HIM TO HAVE ONE, JUST ONE POLLING AGENT TO TAKE THE WITNESS STAND. I believe it should lie within the powers of the court to subpoena the first hand eye-witnesses. Dr. Bawumiah has no legal bases to testify on what he admits he did not witness, all his testimony is a hearsay or at best his understanding of what was written. Listening to his testimony you could hear phrases like "opportunities", "a way of hiding over-voting", on the face of the pink sheets" etc...When challenged to commit to a statement all he says is "Counsel, you and I were not there, we can only go by what the pink sheets say". DOC. I want to suggest to you that on the face of the pink sheets ( based upon which results were collated) there were no objections or complains made by your accredited polling agents or counting agents!

Follow the case and you'll be edified to understand the frivolity of the Npp petition. You'll also understand the eerie silence of Npp supporters on the forum lately even though a couple of weeks ago, they were vociferous and emphatic about their chances of winning the case.

If you are in court to question the validity of votes, why do you forge pink sheets with different signatures and make them your exhibits? This is criminal

So when did Afari Djan become the maker of Constitutional and Statutory laws in Ghana. So if he makes any comments or addresses any gathering of people then everyword and sentence that comes from his mouth becomes statutory and constitution laws to be obeyed by all Ghanaians.
What a fallacy? Afari Djan is not a law by himself. Our statutory and constitutional laws are passed through Parliarment and must receive presidential assent.
And so which statutory and constitutional laws said that duplicated pink sheet serial numbers invalidate all votes whether validly cast or not. And do you find it a good case for your party executives to go to court with about 10,000 out of 11,840 pinksheets and demand their cancellation because they bear same serial numbers. This is pathethic and the Academics who argue in favour of such a claim are only being dishonest
There is no control system that pinksheet numbers will be used to ensure that votes for one candidate are padded and votes of another cadidate are reduced.
And for the elementary conclusion to be drawn that there is a high correlation between duplicate pink sheet serial numbers and other errors and so the duplicate serial numbers led to those violations is most pathethic of an argument. What else will you expect in a ratio of 10,000 : 11,840 pink sheets.
Lets be serious academics and stop thinking that we can pool a wool over the eyes of Ghanaians
