'Mahama did not win, declare Nana Addo President'

'Mahama did not win, declare Nana Addo President' - Gloria Akuffo

Spokesperson for the petitioners in the election petition case, Madam Gloria Akuffo has told Citi News "we [petitioners] are asking the court to determine in our [petitioners] favour, in that John Mahama did not win and that the declaration should be reversed and that Nana Addo be declared as President."

According to her, though more time would have been desired by the parties within which to make their verbal addresses, the thirty minute allocated by the court will be used prudently.

The Supreme Court will on Wednesday morning, hear the oral addresses of parties in the election petition hearing.

Both the petitioners and respondents are expected to give reasons for and against why over 4 million votes cast in the 2012 election should be annulled or not in their submissions.

It is not clear which of the four lawyers will first address the court, but each will have 30 minutes to orally address the nine-member court, presided over by Mr Justice William Atuguba.

Other members of the panel are Mr Justice Julius Ansah, Mrs Justice Sophia Adinyira, Ms Justice Constance Rose Owusu, Mr Justice Jones Dotse, Mr Justice Anin Yeboah, Mr Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie, Mr Justice N. S. Gbadegbe and Mrs Justice Vida Akoto-Bamfo.

The Election Petition hearing is challenging the declaration of President Mahama as the winner of the 2012 presidential election.

It has been brought by three Petitioners from the opposition NPP. They are Nana Akufo-Addo, flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, vice-presidential candidate, and Jake Obetsebi Lamptey, National Chairman of the party.

SPECIAL EDITION: PRAY OVER YOUR MARRIAGE and another love story

Dear readers, Words are powerful. I have learnt to let most of the things I say be positive and contain a prayer. Praying God's word over your marriage is important. Marriage is a blessing from God, but it is not always cherished the way it should be; Maybe because life gets busy, or we get distracted; Maybe because we start to take one another for granted; Or we disagree and let resentments hang on longer than they should. Hm! I was taught recently that the baggages we bring along from our past, into our marriages are a great burden as well. We take these baggages for granted but believe you me, most old baggages, are the cause of most broken marriages. Some baggages are in the form of old girlfriends and boyfriends who are witches and wizards, or left some kind of spiritual bonding with your spouse. Some are in the form of just clingy exes. Some baggages may even just be low self esteem or extreme high expectations. When joined as ''one'', a new battle to...

Making the effort part 3 (TAKEN FOR GRANTED?)

Bonjour a tous, We have discussed conciously making up our minds to work on our marriages or relationships. We have learnt to go to God in difficult situations, we have decided divorce is not an option. Does that mean we give a green pass to our spouse to be unfaithful to us? Or for our spouses to neglect the core values of spicing up the marriage and keeping it enjoyable. Marriage is about consisently doing life together. what do we do in our daily lives. Lets remind ourselves; sleep, wake up, prepare breakfast, eat, take a shower, wash dishes, go to work, attend to peoples needs, come back home, have dinner, take another bath, sleep! Oh I think I left out prayer! And if you have kids under ten(not in all cases), helping them take a bath and getting ready for school and bed. And making sure they are fed. On weekends its a whole new plan which may include more or less activities. Can we think of not hurting our spouses or keeping them...
