Sydney Casely-Hayford - But what about the numbers NPP Counsel put out? I went back to look at the votes cast again, and yes, how did Mahama end up with 447,120 more presidential votes? Based on this statistic alone, we should annul the whole thing, go back and go do it properly. Here is some detail I started looking at because of this. In the Volta Region (because that is the NDC support base), I looked at eight constituencies for Mahama as President and NDC for Parliament. Parliament President Difference Adaklu 11,825 12,459 634 Afadjato South 22,029 24,184 2,155 Agotime Ziope 14,485 16,524 2,039 Akatsi North 10,879 11,716 837 Akatsi South 21,588 29,761 8,173 Biakoye 19,714 22,033 2,319 Ketu South 77,837 81,880 4,043 North Tongu 33,422 34,162 740 211,779 232,719 20,940 In each of these constituencies, voters preferred John Mahama for President but did not think much of the NDC candidate for parliament. I have purposely included Akatsi South for Doe Adjaho, Ketu South for Fiifi Kwetey and North Tongu for Okudzeto Ablakwa. Now, sit back and look carefully. Is this the way our voting goes? That in eight Volta Region constituencies 21,000 voters did not want the NDC to represent them in Parliament?
