One person has been arrested in the council of state election re-run in the Ashanti Region.
The individual was arrested for attempting to breach security protocols at the voting area after police had mounted barricades at the venue to beef security.
The re-run of the election in the Region was necessitated by the chaos and disruption last week which abruptly halted the elections after a group of thugs attacked the Electoral Commission (EC) officials and destroyed several materials, including cast ballot papers.
The re-run was moved from the regional coordinating council to the Prempeh assembly following calls for a change in venue by some of the candidates.
