Lawyer for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr Tsatsu Tsikata is continuing with the cross-examination of Dr Mahamudu Bawumia on Day 9 of the hearing of the election petition.

The petitioners are contesting the declaration of President John Dramani Mahama as the winner of the December 2012 presidential polls. Mr Tsikata started the cross examination on Monday on a very high note and did not give the witness any breathing space at all.

But as he progressed, he engaged in convivialities and somehow toned down a little.
