According to your explanation to what i understand is that 0.1% can be 5000 more people so how does that not contribute to over voting etc etc especially in this voting situation?

The fear that NDC is going through after the overwhelming endorsement of Nana Addo by the NPP is beginning to show;

1. The Alhaji Bature research
2. The Daily Post poor maths (Don't know that calculating at 2 decimals can give 100.01% which runs down to 100.0% at 1 decimal or 100% at no decimal)
3. The insults that have started with the likes of BBC NEWS!, Ras Bo @ London and others.

These are signs of fear, it shows clearly the NDC will proceed with the 2016 elections. If the NDC has a record to show Alhaji would have concentrated his research on that, Daily Post would have concentrated on that, BBC NEWS! and Ras Bo would not need to insult they would concentrate on the NDC record. But because the NDC record stinks; corruption, thivery, incompetence, economic mess, arrogance, insults, lies etc, they cannot depend on that.

THE REASON FOR THE MISPLACED FIGURES IS CLEARLY A CASE OF SPOILT BALLOTS NOT PROPERLY RECORDED. SIMPLE. THIS IS THE SAME EXPLANATION THE EC GAVE AT THE SUPREME COURT WHICH THE NPP OBJECTED SO HARD. Politicians and their stomach direction thinking and mischief waste all of our time and energy on useless common sense things. Useless election petition and useless article.

Angelo, the author is clearly an idiot. How he/she got the job as a writer is mind boggling.His whole argument is driven by 100.01%. So lets run through the figures.

Total valid votes cast= 124, 449
Akufu-Addo: 117, 413
Alan : 5, 908 (not 15, 908)
Nimo : 1, 128 (not 1,198 )

117,413= 94.3462784% of 124, 449
5,908= 4.74732621% of 124, 449
1,128= 0.90639539% of 124, 449

94.3462784+4.74732621+0.90639539=100
But if you round these numbers to two decimal places for purposes of ease, this is how it works out:
Akufo-Addo:94.34%
Alan : 4.75%
Nimo : 0.91
Total %tage=100.01

The journalist/writer of the piece is clearly a dummy.

Can anybody just change their name without appropriate affidavit support? Or can you finish school without a certificate? The answer to this is either you were kicked out of school or you went through the system without taken examination. Even those who failed examinations are given certificate. And should you lose your certificate, it is always possible to get a copy from your school at a fee. Nana’s Law operating certificate has been a problem of concern and it is even diabolical as majority of lawyers who are operating under his bequeathed chamber from his father find themselves wanting. If he is a man of integrity and a clean lawyer as he claims; let him come out openly and respond to the allegations made against him by the former Supreme Court Judge. Justice Kpeglah.

Nana Addo is not mindful about the demographics in society and goes to make utterances which does not auger well for growing youths. He is uncouth in behaviour and in speeches. How can a grown old man like Nana stand in a congregation of mourners at a funeral and make a derogatory statement like “Bottom Power” what kind of morals was he exhibiting at the time. Were Bishop Asante Antwi and Professor Martey around when these foul words came out of the man they are fighting for? Or do they engage in the same act with their congregation so there is nothing at stake here.

Another despicable act was when he touched a married woman’s breast in public office where professionalism is very ethical. One would wonder what Nana Addo will do with female visitors in his office. He has also been seen easing himself around a mosque in his campaign activities; an act which is a sacrilege to God and humankind. He is leading an indiscipline behaviour that Former vice president (May his soul rest in peace) Aliu Mahama, campaigned strongly against. This act alone gravely insults the former Vice President that he Nana Addo can enter into his former vice president’s home region to defile their sacred places.

Another contentious issue is Nana’s addiction to the use of drugs including weed and cocaine an allegation that has been leaked by weakileaks. . As you thrive to become a statesman, one must know that you do not have your privacy anymore; you become “people’s person” and you must conduct yourself in a way to win peoples trust. Any just and a right thinking Leader would have surrendered himself for diagnosis to refute the allegation that he is free from the use of such substances. If Nana really read or listen to his Law lectures, He must have been informed under the maxims of equity that “he who comes to equity must come with clean hands”

My challenge to Nana Addo is that, can he come out willingly and thoroughly to prove, refute and disabuse the minds of Ghanaians about his involvement in these allegations? Why has he kept silent for long? I will refer him to “MAXIMS OF EQUITY” once again that, “delay defeats equity” also there is universal adage that says “Silence means consent. Why won’t you stop playing with minds of decent people of Ghana; come out clean to avoid multiplying your iniquities upon your children’s children.

The question is “Why is Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo Addo dying to falsify his way to be Ghanaian President at all cost? (Think about that. I will come out soon with answers)

He is not a good man Nana Addo will be worst than Kuffour. Nana is living under the shadows of his father whose action and inactions derailed Ghana on its way to prosperity after independence. His insincerity starts from his demeanour as a truant and drug addict, his educational qualification is very dodgy, and his involvement in the senseless sale of the Nation’s oil rig for peanut with three million dollars pilfering. The whereabouts of the balance is not only thievery but shows gross dishonesty at the highest level. Kofi Koomson of Ghanaian Chronicle has openly opined that “HE CANNOT TRUST GHANA IN THE HANDS OF AKUFFO ADDO” This man is staunch member of the NPP and former friend of Nana Addo. What does he know that Ghanaians don’t know? Why Has Nana Addo Kept Silence over all allegations made against him?

If I were Nana Addo, I would have sue Kofi Koomson for “defamation of character” this is a serious allegation to have been alleged against a person who is vying for a top post in this great land.

Nana’s sources of income did not come from his personal sweat. He is where he is as a result of the booty bequeathed to him by what his father looted from the economy and also the bribe his father took, serving as a traitor to overthrow Dr.Kwame Nkrumah. Now that he has used up all the wealth through dirty campaign and empty litigations, what he thinks of doing is using his demonstration talent to buy the conscience and lobby by using corrupt minds in leadership position in the country; some of them who pose as men of God, to chastise Government and make the country unstable. The tactics of Nana Addo is nothing new to what his father did to Ghanaians. Their sole interest is to make every regime ungovernable by castigating lies, ugly insults, throwing bombs, killing women, burning markets, lengthy shallow litigations in courts and false alarm blowers. What can they boast of themselves and what have they achieved for Ghana? They want Ghanaians to be sub-servants to them whilst in their own thinking and mental deliberations; they remain perpetually slaves to neo colonialism. From his birth he was thought to backbite, destroy, kill and make shameless utterances, bully, join occult and make use of cannabis. If you are a discern citizen, I will entreat you sit up and think, get knowledge and don’t sell your conscience to these reckless generation who don’t care about you than to seek their self interest

You have absolutely displayed your lack of mathematical skills. This proves beyond reasonable doubt that you struggled with simple fractions, the rules of rounding during your days in school. You don't deserve to be a writer and should immediately go back to elementary school to enrol in a math class.

Hey Guys! Do you know that a candidate wins the Presidential elections by 50%+1 votes? How do we arrive at this figure if we keep rounding up? Please be educated that in elections, we do straight additions and keep fractions as they are. Under no circumstance should the total votes cast should be more that 100%. NPP will never accept that, so why think people should accept it. Please let's be honest with ourselves.

What the fuck is wrong with these NPP surrogates? What kind of useless brains and foolishness are they espousing? Election are about numbers and u dont round up figures in elections. 4000 votes are over and some fool is talking about rounding up figures.

THE REASON FOR THE MISPLACED FIGURES IS CLEARLY A CASE OF SPOILT BALLOTS NOT PROPERLY RECORDED. SIMPLE. THIS IS THE SAME EXPLANATION THE EC GAVE AT THE SUPREME COURT WHICH THE NPP OBJECTED SO HARD. Politicians and their stomach direction thinking and mischief waste all of our time and energy on useless common sense things. Useless election petition and useless article.
