According to Mr. Antwi, his actions were as a result of the fact that President Mahama was made president instead of him after the death of President John Evans Atta Mills.
He further told the court presided over by Justice Francis Obiri that he did not agree with the current electoral system being practiced in the country something he says is not good for democracy.
The suspect also revealed to the court that the day he was arrested was the the fourth time he had gone to church but failed to carry out his mission because the president was not in church.
