Jean Mensa credited Mahama with votes he didn’t actually win – NPP issues first reply to NDC petition

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has in its first reply to the petition of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), has revealed that John Mahama was given votes by Jean Mensah which their documents show he didn’t deserve.

According to the NPP, they will be proving this in court backed by serious evidence. For now, NPP campaign Chairman, Peter MacManu revealed the party’s team of lawyers are meeting to write an official reply to the NDC petition as the law demands.

When asked by if he is ready for the “showdown”, he said certainly the NPP is ready.

“Ohh.. My team of lawyers are already dissecting their petition. We are also assembling our own documents. We also believe and we will prove that in court that even John Mahama did not receive the number of votes credited to him and we will prove that in the course of the trial” he explained.

The National Democratic Congress’ (NDC) flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama yesterday petitioned the Supreme Court to order a second round of the December 7, election.

According to the former President, the votes obtained by New Patriotic Party (NPP) candidate, President Nana Akufo-Addo and himself in the December 7, election as declared by the EC Chair were not enough to be declared winner.

In his petition to the Supreme Court Wednesday, Mr Mahama said, “The claim that percentage of votes obtained by the 2nd Respondent [Nana Akufo-Addo] was 51.595% [6,730,413] of the total valid votes that she distinctly stated to have been 13,434,574 was a manifest error, as votes cast for 2nd Respondent would amount to 50.098% and not the 51.595% erroneously declared.”

The NPP has a 10 day window to respond.

Most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by their Pastors – Papa Shee

Evangelist Papa Shee says most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by Pastors. According to him, most Pastors in Ghana currently are occults and with the way they are been celebrated by their followers, they initiate them into occult groups without their knowledge. He mentioned that Ghanaians lack knowledge and that has always been the reason why Pastors take advantage of them. Related Posts Quoting a Scripture from Matthew, Papa Shee mentioned that no one should refer to a man as his/her spiritual father because the word speaks against it.

Residents of Samreboi cry on gov’t to fix their roads

Residents of Samreboi are up in arms with the Government of Ghana over neglect of their roads. According to residents, It has become very worrying as their bad road network is affecting not only economic activities but also their social activities. Residents of the timber and Cocoa producing town in the Western Region of Ghana say they have been unfairly treated by several governments; the neglect they say they do not know what to attribute it to.
