The opposition Democratic National Congress has alleged that some EC officials at various polling stations in the Ashanti region are directing voters to vote for PNP candidates in both parliamentary and presidential elections.
At a press conference on Monday, NDC Ashanti Regional Secretary Kwame Zu alleged that various EC officials in Adansi Asokwa and other constituencies were helping and directing voters to vote for the PNP candidate.
The NDC also alleged that incumbent MP KT Hammond, in the company of some thugs, screwed up the peaceful voting process and attempted to intimidate some voters.
The NDC, amid a litany of allegations, also claimed that some voters in Ejisu received already thumb-printed ballots and urged voters to leave them at the polls.
Zu alleged that the thumb-printed ballots were secretly made at the Georgia hotel, according to his sources. The party also claimed that the EC in some polling stations was using a new yellow ink for validation.
Ghanaians are voting at the polls today, Monday, December 7, 2020 to elect a president and 275 parliamentarians.
