You are a Bush Rat not Ghanaian. Your bigot Adu Boahene dead tried to alter our rich history to include Rats Like you but failed
MY goodness, what are you smoking?
"Your bigot Adu Boahene dead tried"?

NDC has never ever won any election in Ghana but Dr. Kwadwo Afari Gyan is always on NDC side to declare them as winners. There is time for everything and now his cup is full of sin. we are all waiting to hear from the judges ...

Im an NDC supporter, but Im afraid EC Chair's performance in the witness box is unimpressive.
Mr Barnor, your article with its logical and rational analysis is one of thest I have read so far on this site.
It is pertinent, concise and very insightful analysis.
The issues is most Ghanaians cannot hold two opposing vi ...

UNEDUCATED FOOL PERIOD !!!
Dr. Kwadwo Afari Djan the electoral Commissioner has a reputation none of the leaders(J.J. Rawlings, the current president of Ghana, Mahama and Akuffo Addo) can match. What we are witnessing at the ballot box stems from the c ...

Finally, I believe my friends at the EC have been caught.
Time to overhaul the EC.
It is said "little drops of rain make a mighty ocean. Afari Gyan compromised the 2008 election infavor of NDC. Thinking nobody challanged the credibility of that election, so could be the 2012 election. This time wise men in ...

Can this article be send to the Supreme Court Judgers and the Petitioners? Dr. Error Kwadwo Afari- Djan has realy set Ghana back for his selfish interest. Thanks for your wonderful thoughts.
You don't know Philip Bannor? He is of the NPP in the USA and thinks with only a little side of his brain. He should tell Akufo-Addo to withdraw the petition and tell his guys to stop torching the country.
Hey, Bannor--All the institions in ghana are corrupt--so where are you going to find the angels to work at the EC.
Afari Djan has done a very good job in corrupt system in Ghana.
So if all institutions are corrupt, should we accept that. We need to change that.
Secondly, there is no need to start propaganda of who is causing market fires.
So start your house cleaning with the supreme court--since Kuffour politicize and corrupted it.
Leaders are corrupt, police are corrupt and everybody is corrupt so we should let corruption go on without seeking any justification from Afari Gyan who has been the EC for almost 20 yrs?
This is the person who does not kn ...

If you want to fix the system--then start strategically otherwise you will not go anywhere. Whose job ws it to supervise Afari Gyan? And whose ideas was it to create a position (EC Chairman) without a supervisor.

Afari Gyan is the head of the institution no one can by-pass him to go and make any change when he himself believes that there is nothing wrong.
Change will only come when the Boss has realized that there are mistakes. And ...

Thanks. I hope the judges read the article. They should.
Serial numbers are like chassis number on cars. You can use the number to catch stolen cars.
Yes there were iregularities or call them mistakes or even fraud if you like.Are they sufficient to annul the results of the entire 26,00 and over polling stations when the issue is over 11,000. I think the percentage of erro ...

The petitioners case calls for audit and annulment of the affected polling stations. The petitioners examined over 24,000 polling stations. The petitioners are confident we all the pink sheets are audited, Nana will win.
NPP,never accept election results that do not go in their favour. You are supposed to be "Odikro"
OBJECTIVE, if at one Polling Booth in Jinpenhi, 21 people registered to vote and the total votes recorded was 67, that alone tells you a lot.

Ghana does not have enough money to hire design mistake-proof elections.
to dish our money to Wayome? Do you have an idea how much money each of these NDC ministers are pocketing daily? Are we ignorant, or plain stupid? Wake up my man.

In accounting, sir, if you have transposition error, your books won't balance and until it balances, you can't declare a winner ie profits
The next key question is that did someone give someone money to rig the elections in his favour?
In my opinion, it's time to arrest "Atopa" Mahama and Red-Eyed Afari Gyan. These 2 criminals must without delay be sent to Nsa ...

Yeabr3 Mo. U completely missed the point.

NPP ,always dispute election results,that do not go in their favour. Note: in 1992 1996,2008,and now 2012.
Instead of admitting mistakes and try to fix them Afari Djan appears to be partisan official and not a neutral arbiter. He thereby gives nonsensical answers. He is pitiful!

Well done, Mr. Barnor.

What must not be allowed to happen in the next elections is for the NPP to call themselves as winners even before the results are officially announced. They must also not make false allegations of electoral fraud only to aban ...

You only misinterpreted the facts to support your own conclusions. I will cross-examine your article later
THE VERDICT OF SC WILL NOT CHANGE.MAHAMA WILL STILL BE PRESIDENT.EC WILL ONLY REFORM SOME OF THEIR VOTING RULES.
AS A POLITICAL SCIENCE STUDENT I NOE DAT 'FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS' IS THEORITICAL.INSTEAD OF DA NPP TO FOCUS ON 2016 SEE THE NONSENSICAL THING DEY R DOING WASTING BILLIONS OF CEDIS...EDUCATED ILLITRATES...PERIOD.
I doubt very much hat you are a political scientist major.
Thanks for your thoughtful dissection of The Supreme Petition.
The article is a tonic, a renewed hope, to me, for Abibri Ma.
THIS ARTICLE IS A MASTERPIECE OF BREVITY. IT SUMS IT ALL FOR THE SUPREME COURT JUDGES.
Dr Afari-Gyan made it clear that the elections were not perfect.
He even went as far as to explain clearly how errors could have arisen.
Despite this, he has stated clearly that the results were fair.
