That we were a divided country before December 7 is clear to all—after all, this is the second election in a row that the winner has failed to win 51% of the votes.

The biggest dilemma facing Atuguba and co

It is very easy to sit behind a laptop or go to a radio or television station and criticize the nine justices hearing the petition filed by Bawumia and co to challenge the 2012 Elections results.

Atuguba finally shows Addison who is in charge

In every high profile court case people are remembered for the various roles they played when those cases are finally settled.

US has not applauded Mahama government

There is a Ghana News Agency (GNA) news report circulating on the Internet falsely claiming that the Obama Administration is in full support of the veritable bog-peat that is the ongoing NPP petition hearings.

Is NPP running away from their own letter?

the lead counsel of the NPP in the on-going Supreme Court challenge of the 2012 Presidential Election is noted for one thing, springing up to raise objections.

Televising the Akufo-Addo revolution

It is interesting to hear political party activists who initially inveighed against the Akufo-Addo petition hog prime-time megaphones and microphones to praise Chief Justice Wood for finally acceding to vehement requests to have the hearings multicast.

Is Bawumia selling pink sheet evidence on the streets?

Dr Mahamadu Bawumia has so far demonstrated that he is a very determined man. So determined is he to claim authority and authorship of the pink sheet that, he has developed his own interpretation of the meaning of each line on the sheets.

Bawumia’s adventurous fishing expedition

The NPP have assigned various reasons why they went to court to contest the results of the 2012 Presidential Election.

Critical News, Timidity is the new revolution

I posted a very historical “Lest We Forget” piece on my Blog this week, written by a very good friend Kwasi Gyan Appenteng.

Suddenly NPP shifts the goal post

The peace and authenticity surrounding the 2012 Presidential Election was broken when Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo decided to act as a sore loser and contest the results at the Supreme Court (SC).

Occupy Kantamanto: Why disaster victims don’t trust government

In barely 48 hours after fire razed down stores at Kantamanto, victims of last Sunday’s disaster came up with an informal set of solutions. They didn’t need any committee, communiqué or feasibility report: They will "Occupy and Rebuild".

Kpegah must be stripped of his "Justice Emeritus" status

I happen to vehemently disagree with Nana Ato Dadzie's rather mischievous assertion that Mr. Francis Yaonasu Kpegah has a legal and constitutional right to falsely and maliciously defame Nana Akufo-Addo.

Kufuor got his "NDC cheers" all right

There is something in New York City baseball parlance called a "Bronx Cheer." Of course, The Bronx is one of the five boroughs or city districts that make up the New York Metropolis.

Celebrating the Bui Dam minus Kufuor?

Former President John Agyekum Kufuor was seething with anger because he has been slighted and not invited to participate in the commissioning of the Bui Hydro-electricity Dam.

Get even, not mad!

Government's decision to bring in Cuban doctors as labor scabs to break the resolve of striking Ghanaian doctors, is tantamount to an effective declaration of war against both the professional and economic survival of Ghanaian doctors.

Supreme Court shows its timidity in Mornah case

What the highest court of the land did on Tuesday, 31st April, was to submit, without a fight, to a legislative invasion of its space, with the worst form of excuse that only the President can protect the courts from this kind of invasion!

NDC punished in Kunbungu by-election for hardships in Ghana

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) which has always won the Kunbungu constituency parliamentary seat has suffered a humiliating defeat in a by-election that was conducted by the Electoral Commission on the 30th of April 2013.

Our frontline citizens must be respected

Morally speaking, I do not take kindly to the decision by members of the Ghana Medical Association (GMA) to embark on an indefinite strike action, in view of the generally poor state of the country's healthcare system.

Surely, Ghana can multi-task electorally, Justice Crabbe, Sir!!!

Justice Crabbe cannot pretend to be unaware of the sort of pathologically reprobate characters that Ghanaian voters are dealing with vis-a-vis the key operatives of the so-called NDC.

Justice Kpegah and his controversial suit against Akuffo Addo

Since Justice Kpegah initiated his lawsuit against Nana Akuffo Addo that Nana is not a lawyer, many people have written either supporting one side or the other.

We are not in court for Electoral Reforms

Since the hearing of the election petition started at the Supreme Court, some characters have been going round saying that nothing will come out of the petition except electoral reforms.
