There are reports of a misunderstanding at the city engineers polling station in the Odododiodoo constituency in the Greater Accra region.

Citi News reports that “some voters moved to the center despite the presence of security officials.” According to the report, the situation became a challenge for the security officers at the post, as they had “difficulty controlling the crowd”; because they were “dominated by impatient voters.”

“We came here at dawn to line up, but after hours of being here, the officers will just come and let some people in. The cops aren’t doing anything about it, they’re just here watching without taking any action. They are not giving us the opportunity to enter, so we had to force our entrance, “one voter told Cit News.

The situation, reports say, has been brought under control.

The Odododiodoo constituency is one of the areas considered a flash point in the 2020 presidential and parliamentary elections.

At least 15 people were injured on Sunday, October 25, 2020, when the two parties, the Democratic National Congress and the New Patriotic Party, clashed during a health walk organized separately by the two parties.

According to sources, the violence occurred around the ‘Atta Mills Highway’, at a popular intersection known as ‘One Way’ in the area.

A series of videos that emerged on social media detailing the incident showed supporters on both sides throwing rocks and showering insults at each other.
