In a statement issued on 16th November, 2024 the EC explained: "Our audit revealed that the printing house that was responsible for printing the ballots for Ahafo and Volta had encountered a number of challenges.
While the printing process itself had proceeded smoothly, the serialisation, which was supposed to be done through an automated system to provide serial numbers in sequence, contained gaps." As a result, the EC decided to reprint the ballot papers and promptly informed the political parties at an Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting on Friday, November 15.
In the latest statement dated Sunday, November 17, and signed by the Deputy Chairman in charge of Operations, Samuel Tettey, the EC disclosed that a quantity of electoral materials had been burned on Saturday, 16th November 2024.
The destruction was carried out under strict supervision by the EC, with the presence of agents from various political parties, the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB), National Security, and personnel from the Ghana Police Service.
