[Music] gifty and appiah comes up with pulse but first here except of mr sierun katya's testimony today the thrust of all these statements in the various clips is that president muhammad had won the 2020 presidential election my lord these statements according to the videos were made at different times when they were made some of them were made after declaration some before declaration and so on so it is difficult to put all such together and say that at this point this was what was said no i'm putting it to you that these statements were made before declaration my lord my viewing of the video indicates that some of the statements were made after declaration even better and um so you admit that some of the statements saying that the petitioner had won the elections were made after the declaration not so from what not through from what i have watched here with everybody here i can see that this is not a video of one event these are videos picked and pieced together and some of them relate to a time period before declaration and others relate to a time period after declaration now it is no secret that intersperse between these press conferences the ndc under your direction have organized several demonstrations in accra stating that the petitioner had won the election and warning the first respondent not to subvert the will of the people my lord the ndc had organized several demonstrations with three main objectives one please have not asking the killing of innocent place voters are pulling stations by security officers and nothing seemed to be happening and that was one of the purposes of the of the press conference the other purpose of the press conference please i have not asked you the purpose so answer my question please and don't be taking inside your wrist they don't be taking instructions from you know lies on this side please uh please let's observe the please please my lord i know what i'm getting closer to them than you we have not witnessed anything please please please please yes please answer my question and you had your opportunity to write your witness statement so now you answer the questions you understand grace i'm asking the question again and i answer according to my ability and what i consider to be the answer to that i'm saying that interspersed between these press conferences yes the ndc organized a series of demonstrations the object of which was true thing is loaded you see it is a double barracks organize a number of demonstrations is that so yes we did and one of the clear objectives of these demonstrations was that the petitioner had won the elections and the issue should not celebrate the will of the people the objective that relates to the presidential elections was that the results has declared were flawed and the commission itself has accepted that there is also a fraud and that's why they kept changing the figures so you admit that you said that the results were flawed yes who in your view won the results elections my lord who we are not interested in winning or losing a flawed election very well we want the election we want to be witness of an election that is credible now it is also true that notwithstanding all these statements that your party yourself and the petitioner had made that the petitioner had won the election when you eventually filed your petition there was nothing in the petition about the petition having won the elections my lord i have educated earlier now please answer my question please i'm about to answer the question unless you are not ready to listen to the answer i've asked you that before you filed the petition yes yes yes there was nothing in it to the effect that the petitioner had won the election
