Mr. Akakpo, please do not give them kid-glove questions. Ask them relevant questions and let them know that what they are doing is tantamount to electoral activism.
Mr. Akakpo is known for this. When he meets the NPP guys, he asks them kid-glove questions as if he’s trying to understand the reasoning of the ec but very critical of the complainant. Listen to his interview with Jean Mensah and listen to his interview with H. Samuel Okudzeto when he did the free shs moshosho rice expose. He didn’t even ask them which law allows for re-collation. I’m beginning to lose hope when I see him interviewing high interest cases cos he’ll just allow all these crooks to get away with his feeble questions. Sometimes I wonder if they wrote the questions for him.
@@kwasibarimpa3127i wonder. As if relieving someone of his post means the person is going to hang himself. Those without meaningful skills are the ones who can be threatened with layoffs, not self-actualized men and women like the EC officials.
Bossman is a joke always playing emotional games... do your work right and you will be free. Afari Gyan walks freely in Gh. you guys are corrupt PERIOD!
The obouasi Boss and lied. The recollated figure value for npp was the same as before but the ndc figure was rather reduced. No figures were swapped. Be fair please.
How can you allow someone who was not accredited to declare results, do so and today you are here saying it wasn't right, who allowed that? if not you. Isn't that clearly a sign of incompetence from your end?. How can you tell us they were forced to declare something which was not right then again the question comes back that, you are not credible and competent enough to declare election results, This is so sad as a country.
Bossman should stop lying. Has the commission shown any evidence of their officers being forced to make the declaration? The answer is NO. So he is telling us that if any of their men made any allegations, whether true or false, they would accept it without showing us any evidence.
Bossman Asare you are a goner once Mahama assumes office, you are too political exposed and affiliated to the NPP. This isn’t a threat but cronyism got you the job, you are way too incompetent for the position.
If the collation was not completed, how is the EC confident a wrong person was declared? This illegal declaration should be overturned at all costs in order to preserve Ghana's democracy. This precedence is to drag Ghana into ashes.
Lol...because they have access to all the pink sheets which were returned by their presiding officers. The fact that a commotion happens that terminates the process does not mean the commissioner has no idea who won. They hold the master copy pink sheet. It is a simple summation. Any one can do it.
@adugyamfilbo Do you realise the damage these EC officials are doing? Right now, all it takes is by words of mouth by a dissatisfied candidate or the returning officer that the declaration was made under duress and the already declared election will go for a re-collation for the initial declaration to be null with a collaboration between the dissatisfied party and the EC.
@@AbbieOwusu it is really difficult to see that logic in what you are saying, but i have no doubt that you are not saying this because you are disingenuous, but because you believe what you are saying to be right. First, stop being alarmist. It does not work like that. A candidate did not request for the EC to recollate. The collation or declations had either not been completed or properly done. Just like a referee in a football game, it is insane to suggest that when the EC sees a clear infraction in the cause of the game, he should ignore and let the game carry on so that anyone aggrieved can take it to football arbitration after the game. Does that make sense to you? If it does not even make sense in football where the stakes are not as high as election of political representatives, how does it make sense to you in elections of national leaders? People have been declared under threat without polling stations which will make them lose when added. You think this is right?
@adugyamfilbo seriously, the whole lot u've typed does not mean anything. Maybe u haven't followed the scenario entirely. Some NPP candidates are also allerging the EC officials declared the results under duress, which is complimenting the EC stance. Isn't that fishy? All I am saying is that the precedence the EC is setting should not be encouraged in order to protect Ghana's democracy. This precedence may come back to hurt the NPP themselves, just like what we saw happened in Parliament. Anyway, happy holidays!
@@AbbieOwusu the wrong precedence will be to allow results with clear administrative breaches to stand. That will be very dangerous. Have you even seen any of the videos of the declaration? One has EC officials been threatened on camera that if he didn't declare, they were going to kill him. You are suggesting to me that the result that followed from such a threat should stand because it is democratic? Smh
Those who are accusing the EC , the question you should ask yourself is what would the EC gain in changing the results for these constituencies? Remember, Ghanaians have spoken and NDC has won the presidency and majority in parliament. We cannot allow political parties to force officers to make a declaration and accept it. The EC is doing the right thing and I applaud them for standing firm.
If you think they are doing the right thing, why don't they do it the right way. What they are doing right now is destabilizing the country. If they are able to overturne the parliamentary results, they can re-collation the presidential results giving them more time to cover thier dids
The fallacies in their mouth is more than normal life they have,the sample question is were police not there in that coalition,if they mention they were force thar made them declared wrong winner
Makafui, we have passed this kind of nonsensical way of handling issues. Why they didn't come there with those Pink sheets of the various polling stations
This Ec, they can lie papa...We all saw Tema declaration when the return officer ask the public to keep quiet before declaring. Duress my foot. Criminals...Shame on you
Those Ur Npp party soldiers u put them there to do Ur bids,what was Thier proofs,some body will just come and tell u and u act on it,let them go to court then will do thier foundings.Asare and Jean Mensah u must go
If there were 231 polling stations in OkaiKwei Central but the declaration was done with [only] 210, is Dr Bossman Asare's maths telling him that there were about 31 polling stations outstanding? So why would anyone doubt the incomptence being levelled at the EC?
Party thugs are responsible for these problems. Even if the incumbent is unpopular, it is important for elections officials to be allowed to do their work without political thugs screwing the outcome.
Dr Bossman, you said Okai Koi Central had 231 pollling stations and declaration was made with 210, leaving 31 outstanding. Then you said the returning officer reported that he used 110 out of 141, leaving 31 outstanding.
Suspend the constituencies in contention . Subject all the documents related to the elections to a forensic audit. Just to hold people accountable for their actions.subsequently re run the parliamentary elections in those constituencies.
Two critical questions the journalist ignored 1. The declaration of the rest of the presidential results (9 constituencies) 2. The number of seats obtained by all parties in the election.(after 2 weeks, it's just speculations but EC says they are in the process of gazetting)
Coercing EC officials to declare results should not be entertained by any reasonable person. It’s very unprofessional for our media to ignore the fact that some officials were forced to declare results even when their cameras captured these incidents. We need to speak truth to power. We are in a democratic dispensation and such acts should be discouraged no matter what form it takes. You can’t distort the process and ask for the next party to go to court. When the same commission declares for your candidate it’s acting right but when it declares against your candidate its actions are wrong. Double standards politicians. Ghanaians must wake up from these political manipulators. #Ghanafirst
If there is mistrust especially as perception abounds about the partisan nature of some persons of the Electoral Commission, this would always arise. It is important that in appointing persons to the Electoral Commission this should be very carefully taken into consideration.
According to Bossman Asare, Okaikwey Central has 231 polling stations,if 210 were declared how come Dr. Bossman is saying 31 polling stations were outstanding? The EC lacks officials with strong quantitative minds, hence the confusion.
Bossman, you sit there crying foul. But your uterrances do not indicate that you are neutral. Were you not the one who said the NDC is a threat to Ghana's Democracy. How can someone who is required to be neutral make a statement like this.
Akagbo I think your interview lacks some probing questions. If they are saying they declared without some polling stations whey was Domango declared the constituency for Abu Jinapor.
If they told you so, no problem. We were under pressure when voting, counting, writing pink sheets. But we did the right thing. Pressure, duress does not make the results wrong. Tell those who have problem to go to court for redress
De Serebuor is the one am deeply disappointed at. He is the most experienced of all the commissioners combined and yet, cos of expediency he decides to join the fray to perpetuate illegality instead of telling them wht they're doing is totally wrong
Why won't you say something about the rest of the uncollated stations. Figures from ec officials pink sheets were different from ndc. Sometimes ec officials have no pink sheets for some stations and both parties have different values on their respective pink sheets.
They should send the pinksheets for forensic audit to determine who forged their's
Ghana is a lawless country. Only a court can determine an improper coalition, not the EC
Mr. Akakpo, please do not give them kid-glove questions. Ask them relevant questions and let them know that what they are doing is tantamount to electoral activism.
Just as most of us Ghanaians are doing partisan politics and not thinking of the national interest .

Because Npp won

Competence and integrity are in tatters
So the journalist can't asked questions based on facts gathered by his media house on the issue instead of NDC says , Ndc says...???
The voice of Dr Bossman has always sounded fishy.
Why do you want to destroy Ghana??

So who is going to be responsible if we see different pink sheets during the re-collation?
Deputy returning officers do not have any right to declare results. they have not taken an oath as the presiding Officer
231 pooling stations and 210 was used to declare remaining 31 how

Why is the commissioner her self is not subject to interview ? Why is she always out of sight during interviews?

Lets just have a Bi -Election so the citizens can determine their choice.

This current EC is not good for purpose. They’re too glaring partisan and arrogant. Their utterances do not reflect their offices.
Did the commission seek information on why the declaration was made by someone else?
What does concession have to do with performance? Respectfully, remove the EC boss. She’s disrespectful!
I am struggling to believe ‘‘tis charade - public perception wont change.
