National Communications Director of the ruling party New Patriotic Party (NPP), Yaw Buabeng Asamoah, has slammed the opposition for spreading misinformation on the ongoing Election Petition.
The National Democratic Congress (NDC), he said, is creating a false impression that the Supreme Court is being provoked to cite Dr. Dominic Ayine for contempt for his several unsavoury comments against the justices.
He charged the NDC to desist from misinforming the public on developments at the Supreme Court and the false impression that the court is biased against the petitioner.
Mr. Buabeng Asamoah, in a statment last Saturday described as ridiculous accusations the lead Counsel of the Petitioner has been subjected to attacks by Kojo Oppong- Nkrumah Esq. and Henry Nana Boakye Esq.

According to him, it is an affront to the apex court for the NDC to suggest the venerable, experienced and learned Justices of the Supreme Court who, over time, have demonstrated to be independent and objective, are amenable to incitement by spokespersons of the 2nd Respondent.
“The claim that Hon. Kojo Oppong-Nkrumah Esq. and Henry Nana Boakye Esq. seek to incite the Supreme Court against Dr Dominic Ayine is a blatant falsehood that must be rejected by Ghanaians,” he said.
Dr. Ayine, he said, voluntarily uttered the contentious statements and is solely responsible for its consequences.
Mr. Buabeng Asamoah noted that the suggestion that the Lawyers and spokespersons of the 2nd Respondent have been attacking, insulting and belittling the lead Counsel of the Petitioner is plain falsehood and mischievously crafted to solicit public sympathy for the legal team of the Petitioner.
“… And to conceal their poor performance, evident from the dismissals almost of every major motion/application they have filed,” he added.
“The regrettable attitude of the lead Counsel of the Petitioner towards the bench has been a matter of public outrage and it is not correct to suggest that it is the lawyers or spokespersons of the 2nd Respondent that have made a case out of it,” he said.

Mr. Buabeng Asamoah described as appalling a suggestion by the National Communications Officer of the NDC that the spokespersons of the 2nd Respondent ought to show deference to seniors at the Bar.
The fact, he said, is that there hasn’t been any act of disrespect on the part of the 2nd Respondent’s team towards the Petitioner’s lawyers or spokespersons.
He argued that the NDC Communicator has, over the years, persistently insulted and disrespected President Akufo-Addo whose legal and political achievements he may never be able to attain in his entire life.
He charged the NDC team to focus on explaining to their supporters why the statistics they earlier claimed were in their favour have been abandoned in court.
He insisted that the spokespersons for the 2nd Respondent’s legal team will remain forthright and continuously inform the public on the truth about developments in court and will not hesitate to respond adequately to the NDC’s propaganda.
