A retired Supreme Court judge, Justice Yao Kpegah, has categorically stated that come what may the New Patriotic Party (NPP) will lose the 2012 General Elections. In a speech read on his behalf at the official launch of Nana Konadu's campaign to challenge President Mills for the flagbearership slot to lead the NDC in the 2012 general elections, the former Supreme Court Judge all but wagered with his life that no matter the current happenings in the NDC, there is no way the NPP will be voted back to power in 2012.

While appreciating the offer, the former president wants to remain out of the spotlight, an aide says. A spokesman for George W. Bush says the former president has declined an invitation from President Barack Obama to attend an observance at New York’s ground zero.

Obama plans to visit the site of the destroyed World Trade Center towers Thursday in the aftermath of a Navy SEALs raid that killed Osama bin Laden. The al-Qaida attack, which killed about 3,000 people, occurred in the early months of Bush’s presidency in 2001.

The spokesman, David Sherzer, says the former president appreciated the offer to attend but has chosen to remain out of the spotlight during his post-presidency.
