Both Bawumia and Tsikata are pointing to the widespread mistakes in the last election all over the country.Tsatsu has succeeded only to prove that there were mistakes in the elections in the Ashanti region and else where thereby, confirming the claims of Dr Bawumia and the NPP. If both parties in court have made these admissions then what is the problem of the judges in passing the verdict?

"Blank" or "space" is not zero. If you hit the space bar, the blank created is a character, which is not equal to zero. If you are my foe, I will not interpret that vagueness in your favor; likewise you will not interpret it in my favor. In other words, if you want to fight it to be zero, I will counter to prove that something other than zero is there. So the fight continues.
On your other point, I thought Tsikata rather grilled Bawumia today, showing errors on the part of the petitioners including the lapses by the Commissioner of Oaths. Maybe I'm not getting it because I'm not a lawyer.

Thank you my brother, be their math Teacher, that is algebra. In his example above the only way he can say that x=0 is if his answer is 4, else x can be anything (Varying) unless he has a defined answer.

YOU DON'T RUSH IN CROSS EXAMINATIONS ELSE YOU MISS YOUR POINTS & THAT'S JUST WHAT THE NPP WANTS TSATSU TO DO.

Stop defending the indefensible. The most important thing is the identification of polling station, which you dispatch your agents to go and monitor the voting and counting of ballot papers which they did. Certify the results as declared and the EC declaring the candidate with the highest votes as the winner. Empty and blank boxes theory is not required here. Mahama won the election and he is the President. PERIOD.

interesting revelations are coming. if blank on pink sheet or space against any question means zero, then, it presupposes that all commissioner of oath stamps on the affidavits with blank on the affidavits number connotes number zero which will contradict the affidavit number inscribed on the affidavit itself.the implication is that most of the npp affidavits will be thrown out on the interpretation that blank means number zero.think about it critical and stop behaving like a vampire bat.

To lie in court that you that see the number (1) when there is none presents credibility problem. He's lost my respect. And as a banker, he has to be very careful not to jeopardize his future career at any of the international institutions. How can you trust a banker to looks at a cheque and claim he can see 1 when 2 is written. I was stunned when I saw that exchange between him and Tatstu.

BUT HE GOES ROUND THE ANSWER OR STUBBORNLY GIVES A REFRAIN, NOT ANSWERING. SEES DIFFERENT FIGURES ON THE PINK SHEETS AND NO ONE ELSE IN THE COURT ROOM SEES THE THINGS THAT HE SEES AND YET SOME BLING GHANAIANS THINK HE IS PERFORMING LIKE A GREAT HERO. WHAT IS WORRYING IS THAT THE JUDGES ARE THE ONES WASTING OUR TIME. THEY ARE THE ONES TO ASK BAWUMIA TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS AND STOP DANCING AGBAJA AND AZONTO.

Adoffo has a psychological condition of blacking out unpleasant news or pretending it does not exist. Anyway, readers can go to myjoyonline live texts to see the very damaging admissions Bawumia made yesterday including accepting that NPP were ready to make concessions on some of the inconsistences of their evidence and affidavits. Adofo you can spin and spin, but your star witness is doing a mea culpa already.

True to expectation, Tstatsu and Lithur have succeeded in making rank nonsense of the allegations and suppositions upon which the petitioners are seeking an annulment of 4m votes. So far, the two have showed their superior intellect as well as their profound knowledge of the law by the way they've dominated their exchanges with Bawumia and dealt such fatal blow to his credibility. Significantly, they've so undermined both the evidence and credibility of the star witness that the petitioners themselves must by now be hoping the proceedings can be brought to a rapid end to save them from further embarrasment. they must also by now be praying that an opportunity will present itself for them to take a more honorable bow out of the SC building where they're enduring much ignominy. As for Bawumia, his agonizing before their lordships from the avalanche of questions from Tsatsu and Lithur which have compelled the acclaimed banker to resort to lecture sessions only goes to confirm how wobbly the petitioners case appears now. Indeed, i dare say that were Bawumia to know then what he knows now he probably would not have accepted to be involved in a case which in the first place was doomed to failure, much less be a star witness.

Do you know about the DONT CARE? DONT CARE is not necessarily a zero "0". Check that with your numerous "White colleagues" and do not insult Ghanaians! By saying white friends you are showing your inferiority. Sorry my brother, you should not have said that to impress anyone.

In electronics you have a "1" a "0" and you also have the DONT CARE. I will take the blank as a DONT CARE.

Now let the discussion begin while I relax.

Also,this shows that "blank" is not number because "blank" minus "blank" does not give us a number. Therefore,"Blank" is not "Zero". "Blank" means "empty" or "nothing" or "no number".

you see, if you have a little bit of law background, you wont talk the way you are sounding.
in law silence does not mean concern and it can never be so. read Thomas vs Rascorlah 1842 and Faith-house vs Billy and you will appreciate what the law says about silence and see if it really means consent. in other areas, it may mean that but not in law.
how can you interpret blank to be zero! in arithmetic, figures are used and not words. as you rightly indicated, in analysis, blank space is considered not applicable and is ignore and not use as zero on the face just like that.

Does blank mean zero? Bawumia says yes ie in a context of numbers. This is a deliberate LIE, DISGRACEFUL LIE. Blank in every dictionary denotes "a space left to be filled in a document". So why does Bawumia uses his mind to fill that space with zero and effectively Supplant the blank in his mind with a number 0 when on the sheet the space is remains unfilled? This is mischievous and I don't understand why the SC won't call him to order

My brothers, If Tsatsu really argued that blank means any number ranging from 1-9, I susgest that his law certificate and professional gown be withdrawn forthwith. A box on a form to be filled with figures or letters requires that a specific character be entered for counting to aid in analysis of whatever exercise is intended. I the respondent refuses to put any character in a box it cannot be counted because serious injustice would be done to other figures that were not chosen. I will not even say we should put zero there since zero is also a figure, though it expresses naught or nothing, to avoid the temptation of some wicked one writing 1, or 2, or 3, etc. in front of it, leave it blank. Blank cannot mean 1 or 5 nor 9. Tsatsu must go back to school.

Since your so called lawyer thinks blank could be any number so do NPP also thinks blank is zero. I am just ashame of Tsatsu for Todays' proceedings because he has even supported the NPP with the fact that, they was over voting in Kumasi.... So now you see. all Ghanaians are watching. I thought NDC said the over voting was an error of composition, ommission and so on... so the Kumasi pink sheet they claim to be over voting for Akufo Ado, is it an error also. SHAAAAAMMMME Tsatsu. If you dont have more questions , come for me to set one for you Because i am a law student at GIMPA i can help you with intelligent question than how you are disgracing yourself

Dr. Bawumia's post graduate study was not in statistics; he is not a statistician by academic standards or norms. Yes I know in Ghana where most lack understanding of this discipline you have been all wowed by this hocus pocus by Dr. Bawumia on the stand. It is a shame even Ghanaians in the Diaspora professing to be educated and or attending colleges and universities and collecting meaningless credentials cannot distinguish between taking statistics as a prerequisite course for economics and statistics as a discipline at the post graduate and doctorate level. Dr. Bawumia’s doctorate credential was not in statistics.
