ubet.63 Businessman Senyo Hosi Criticizes Electoral Commission Over Delayed Presidential Result Announcement

Businessman and entrepreneur Senyo Hosi has voiced his disappointment with the Electoral Commission (EC) and its chairperson, Jean Mensa, following the delayed announcement of Ghana’s 2024 presidential election results. His criticism comes in the wake of a quick concession from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, who acknowledged his defeat just 16 hours after the polls closed. Speaking on TV3’s Ghana Decides programme on December 9, Hosi questioned the need for such a delay in the announcement, remarking, “At this stage, if Bawumia could tell he’s lost within 24 hours, how much more Jean Mensa?” Hosi further described the entire process as a “farewell” for the EC chairperson, commenting, “The whole thing, in all honesty, was a farewell for me, so Jean, thank you very much.” The businessman also took issue with the EC’s expenditures, suggesting that the commission had wasted significant resources while delivering what he called an “archaic” official declaration. On December 9, 2024, Jean Mensa made the official announcement of John Dramani Mahama’s victory, declaring him president-elect with 6,328,397 votes, representing 56.55% of the total votes cast. Mensa’s final words, “It is finished,” marked the end of the election process after months of intense campaigning.

A top US official sought to quell growing concern Sunday over reported drone sightings in the country's northeast, reiterating there was no known security threat as authorities monitor the situation. President Joe Biden's administration has faced mounting criticism for not clearly identifying origins of the objects seen hovering over parts of New York and New Jersey. The criticism has come even from Biden's own party, with top Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer calling Sunday for action to make it easier for federal, state and local authorities to work together to detect and if need be "bring down" any drone seen to pose a threat. Video footage of mysterious airborne phenomena recently has clogged social media, with spottings also reported in Maryland and Virginia. "Some of those drone sightings are, in fact, drones. Some are manned aircraft that are commonly mistaken for drones," Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said Sunday on ABC's "This Week" program. "But there's no question that drones are being sighted," he said, noting there are more than one million registered across the United States. "I want to assure the American public that we are on it," he said. "If we identify any foreign involvement or criminal activity, we will communicate with the American public accordingly. Right now, we are not aware of any." Even as Mayorkas sought to reassure the public, Boston police announced Sunday that two Massachusetts men had been arrested the previous night for allegedly conducting a "hazardous drone operation" near the city's Logan International Airport. State police were conducting a search for a third suspect, who authorities said fled the scene. Schumer, in a letter to Mayorkas Sunday, urged the Department of Homeland Security to immediately deploy special drone-detection technology across New York and New Jersey, since traditional radar struggles to detect such small objects. He also called for passage of legislation to explicitly authorize state and local law enforcement to work with federal agencies to detect and "bring down drones that threaten critical facilities or mass gatherings." Jim Himes, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, meanwhile expressed frustration at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) over its communications around the issue. "The answer 'we don't know' is not a good enough answer," he told "Fox News Sunday." "When people are anxious... people will fill a vacuum with, you know, their fears and anxieties and conspiracy theories," he said, calling for the FAA to hold public briefings. White House national security spokesman John Kirby had previously said the aircraft could be lawfully operated planes or helicopters mistaken for drones. "While there is no known malicious activity occurring, the reported sightings there do, however, highlight a gap in authorities," he said Thursday, calling for Congress to pass new legislation to "extend and expand existing counter-drone authorities." New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced Sunday that authorities had agreed to send a drone detection system to her state. "I am grateful for the support, but we need more. Congress must pass a law that will give us the power to deal directly with the drones," she said on X. On Friday, President-elect Donald Trump urged federal authorities to clearly identify the drones' origins. "Let the public know, and now. Otherwise, shoot them down!!!" he posted on social media. As the price of drones has fallen -- small quadcopter models with Wi-Fi camera capability can be purchased for as little as $40 -- their numbers and popularity have soared, making their presence in American skies a greater concern. acb/des/bbk/mlm

After starting the season 12-3, the Warriors now find themselves 15-12 overall and have not won back-to-back games in a month. For the Golden State to get back on track, they are going to need everyone healthy, which isn't necessarily the case for Draymond Green at the moment. After missing two games at the start of the month due to a calf injury, Green recently missed the Warriors' 113-103 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday. Now, he is once again on the injury report ahead of this critical game with Indiana. This has led many Warriors fans to ask the question, "Is Draymond Green playing against the Pacers?"
