The Ghana Police Service, in collaboration with the Eastern Regional Elections Security Taskforce on Tuesday, December 3, supervised the destruction of the defective ballot papers, which were recalled by the Electoral Commission (EC).
The exercise was also under the strict supervision of all constituency election directors of all the political parties who monitored the exercise right from their various armories to the regional dump site on the Akwadum road.
EC suspended the Special Voting exercise for the Eastern and Western regions due to these breaches.
With the exception of Afram Plains North and South Constituencies, all the remaining 31 Constituencies presented their ballots for both presidential and parliamentary to be destroyed.
The Eastern Regional Director of the Electoral Commission, John Appiah Baffour, who spoke to Citi News, expressed satisfaction with the process.
“The exercise has been very successful. Actually, we brought all the parties together and the constituency executives of the NPP, NDC, and CPP, and all of them have been here. They checked the seals on the ballot paper bags, and they saw that everything was intact before we offloaded them and burned them. So it has been very successful.”
