The 2012 Vice Presidential Candidate for the New Patriotic Party(NPP), Dr. Bawumia says he had sleepless nights throughout the hearing of the 2013 election petition case.<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t have a sound sleep. Infact throughout the case I don\u2019t think I ever slept soundly because I was leading the cadres. I was the principal witness,\u201dDr. Bawumia stated.<\/p>\n
The NPP\u00a0 challenged the results of the 2012 elections at the Supreme Court alleging the results were rigged to favour John Dramani Mahama.<\/p>\n
The Supreme Court however declared President Mahama as the winner of the 2012 elections.<\/p>\n
Dr. Bawumia further described the night before the verdict as a night full of \u201crumour.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou had so many people saying hey its 6:3,I have spoken to this person and its 6:3. And someone would call and say its 7:2\u201d<\/p>\n
The 2012 Vice Presidential candidate said \u00a0though the NPP lost the case eventually, he had a positive outlook about it.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have mixed feelings about it but I am very positive in my outlook about its impact on the development of our democracy and our legal system\u201d.<\/p>\n
Today is\u00a0exactly a year after\u00a0the historic Election Petition challenged President John Mahama\u2019s legitimacy at the 2012 polls.<\/p>\n
