The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has said their agents and Police are vigilant to ensure that unscrupulous persons do not interfere with the electoral process.

Communications Director of the Bawumia team, Dennis Miracles Aboagye said this after calling for the prosecution of the officer of the Electoral Commission (EC) who has been arrested for issuing ballot papers without the face of the presidential Candidate of the NPP, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia. "We demand the immediate prosecutor of this EC official." He added, " To all those planning with the NDC to cause troubles, we have a robust system in place to find you out." The Police have arrested an Electoral Commission (EC) official at Kintampo South Constituency in the Bono East Region, for electoral offences during the ongoing general elections.

According to the Police, the suspect, Dery Joseph, is under investigation for issuing about 15 ballot papers to voters that omitted the first presidential candidate at the Ampesika- Bayere polling station.   𝐎𝐍𝐄 𝐄𝐂 𝐎𝐅𝐅𝐈𝐂𝐈𝐀𝐋 𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐃 𝐀𝐓 𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐌𝐏𝐎 𝐒𝐎𝐔𝐓𝐇 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐓𝐔𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐘 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐎𝐍𝐎 𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐓 𝐑𝐄𝐆𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐀𝐋 𝐎𝐅𝐅𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐒 pic.twitter.com/TpybWYJEUw - Ghana Police Service (@GhPoliceService) December 7, 2024 Voting commenced at 7 AM across the country.
