Watch Live Telecast: Day 36 of Supreme Court’s hearing of election petition

An official of international auditing firm, KPMG, has mounted the witness box to be cross-examined by counsels for the petitioners and respondents in the ongoing election petition hearing.

His cross-examination will bother on the audited pink sheets report which was submitted to the Supreme Court on Monday.

Counsels for the petitioners and respondents were given a two-day break to study the report and make their final comments on it.

The Statement of Poll and Declaration of Results forms, also known as pink sheets, have been at the heart of the election petition because the petitioners — the presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo; his running mate, Dr Mahamadu Bawumia, and the Chairman of the NPP, Mr Jake Obetsebi-Lamptey — have alleged that gross and widespread irregularities took place on the face of the pink sheets from 11,842 polling stations.

The petitioners are alleging that over-voting, non-signing of pink sheets by some presiding officers or their assistants, voting without biometric verification and duplicated serial numbers of pink sheets occurred during the December 7 and 8, 2012 presidential election.

They are, therefore, calling for the annulment of 4.3 million votes.
