The process is straightforward and secure - Afenyo-Markin urges Ghanaians to go out and vote

The Member of Parliament for Effutu, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has described the voting process so far as straightforward and secured.

After casting his ballot, he urged all eligible voters to go out and cast their ballots in the ongoing general elections.

In a post on his Facebook account, he wrote, "I exercised my civic duty and cast my vote in the ongoing election. I encourage all constituents to do the same. Every single vote matters, and together, we can shape the future of our country. As we head to the polls, let’s remember the importance of this election.

It’s not just about choosing leaders; it’s about securing a brighter, more prosperous future for ourselves, our families, and our community.

I urge everyone to take a few minutes to go through the voting process. It’s a straightforward and secure procedure."

801 candidates are contesting the 2024 parliamentary elections with the number of constituencies moving from 275 to 276 following the creation of the Guan constituency in the Oti Region.

Of the 801, 111 are independent candidates with pollsters predicting that the ninth Parliament could have the highest number of independent MPs.

Following the struggles and peculiarities of the 8th Parliament which was a hung Parliament, the two leading parties, New Patriotic Party and National Democratic Congress are determined to secure as many seats as possible to ensure that they enjoy a relatively smooth administration of the country should they win the presidency.

Pre-election polls tip some influential figures in Parliament to lose their seats to some new faces who are billed to cause shocks.
