The main opposition party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has called for further investigation into how a single defaced ballot paper, intended for the Eastern Region, was taken out of one of the printing houses contracted by the Electoral Commission.

The Electoral Commission has ordered a recall and reprinting of ballot papers for the Eastern and Western Regions after a leakage was detected with the initial ballot papers.

The Commission's Chairperson, Jean Mensa announced this at an emergency news conference on Sunday, December 1.

As a result, the Commission has recalled the ballot papers for the Eastern and Western Region and has suspended and postponed the special voting in those two regions to Thursday, December 5.
