A presiding officer, Mr Kingsley Asare, was alleged to have allowed two people whose names were not in the Voters' Register to cast their ballot at the East Santia Maria Number One polling station.
Miss Diana Apedoe, an electoral official at the station, told the Ghana News Agency that Mr Asare was drunk when he arrived at the station in the morning and was asked by the other officials not to participate in the exercise. She said after a number of people had voted and the place was calm, she and the other colleagues decided to go and cast their votes at a different polling station.
According to Miss Apedoe, on her return they saw a crowd of people around the station.
Upon enquiries she learned that the presiding officer had written the names of three people in the Voters' Register and allowed two of them to vote. She said it was the NDC party agent who challenged the presiding officer and this resulted in confusion.
Mr Asare then telephoned some soldiers and fled from the station. The soldiers came took some people away. At Auntie Aku Market Square, a customs officer, Mr Alex Yeboah volunteered to guard the station.
Mr Yeboah said he decided to take care of the place after he had noticed there was no security man around.
" I was going to vote in town when I noticed the situation and then called my office at the Airport and was allowed to take charge of the place," he said.
Mr Akwasi Kufuor, Presiding Officer at the centre said the presence of Mr Yeboah brought orderliness.
