Obasanjo sholud never come to Ghana to oversee any election! Period!. He lacks credibility and i am not about to explain why that is the case but to state that his involvement in the declaration of 2012 Ghana election lacked credibilty. This was particularly the case when he and his team went ahead to declare them free and fare. well, we know today they were not free and fare!

By the way was it not the same Obansanjo who overthrew a government in Nigeria and imposed hinmself on that country. AFRICA, how can a coup maker be overseeing elections?

Obansanjo should stay in Nigeria and leave Ghanaians alone!

Which election is credible and which is not?
which of the election under the sun has no mistakes at all?

Can anyone point out that this or that country have 100% election without any mistake?

Adofo, ending the insults is long overdue. I personally stopped reading your articles and those of Okoampa.

Kwasea, mistakes are not the same as deliberate rigging and falsification of people votes and giving out results that have nothing to do with the truth. NDC propagandists are now catching on the "mistake" bandwagon; fools.

Canada, USA and Britain have irregularities in their elections. Tell me which election on this earth is perfect. When Kuffour won 2 back to back elections with Afari Gyan as the overseer all the good names were heaped on him.
It is not surprising to me that NPP is doing this because they have never accepted any election that didn't go their way.

First of all I really dont know what your Rockson Adofo'S problem is. The NDC and the NPP who it seems you support, are all election thieves. They have all been trying their damned best to cheat at almost every election held in this country at every stage of governance.

The only reason why the NPP has taken this particular case to court is that they were painfully out-smarted by the NDC. If those idiots in the NDC were smart, they should have also taken the NPP to court for the many instances of cheating at the last elections. But because they know that they are as guilty as sin of the charges thrown at them, they are exclusively focused on how to exculpate themselves of their obvious sins.

Very clearly, you Rockson Adofo are not an honest person. If you were, you would not be raving and ranting about what you deem to be election malpractices all over Africa when you yourself were not present at any of these elections. Very clearly your only source of your accusations is the prejudiced western media whose collective attention on Africa is to make sure that any true and honest African nationalist politician who attempts to win power is is stabbed in the back, undermined and cut into ribbons by massive global media vilification. These are the people who are your allies. People who have never seen or heard of anything good about Africa or Africans.

Of course from your obvious support for the NPP I do not expect you to know any better. I do not expect you to also know that Ghana gained Independence over 50 years ago and therefore there is no need whatsoever to go and demonstrate at No. 10 Downing Street and the British Parliament. It sends a very bad signal and is so so so embarrassing. What do you want these people who have never had any respect for Africans anyway, to do for you?

Ah! I get it. Just in case you dont win that court case, you want to court them to come and do what they did for you NPP guys in Ghana in 1966 and which they have repeated in Libya and also in Egypt just a few weeks ago?

As far as I am concerned, both the NPP and the NDC are excessively corrupt and insensitive to the sorrowful plight of Ghanaians. I would be just as traumatized by an NPP govt as I am by the NDC govt.

The fundamental cause of your problem however is that you are not intelligent enough to realize that it is the western democratic system itself - that glamorized slave system inherited from your slave-masters, which is the culprit. It breeds unbridled corruption, greed, division and enmity between brothers and sisters. And for your information, it is not only in Africa where this plague has created problems.

From the almighty US right through to Papua New Guinea, everywhere where this horrible system is practiced, there is massive cheating, corruption, racism, bigotry and ethnocentrism along social fault lines.

The inevitable and ensuing problems after these elections is only to be expected. In other countries, people are too busy enjoying life from the spoils of slavery and the historical looting of the resources of hapless colonies for over 500 years that they cant be bothered to react in the same way that Africans who have been impoverished as a result, would react.

Your misconception that it is only in Africa where these happen attests to the fact that you either ignorant, uneducated, daft or you are simply playing to the tune of your white masters to belittle Africa at the least opportunity.

The most annoying aspect of your ignorant self is that instead of dealing with your own problems, you run away to go and seek solace and comfort in the arms of your oppressors. You give Africans a bad name by so-doing. You justify the popular European saying that Africans are too stupid to govern themselves.

At the end of day they will always back corrupted elections because they will be backed by them as well.

Adofo is either a deliberate liar or very misinformed.President Kibaki never rigged elections but i guess the lie serves Adofo's twisted aims.
