Voting -Ashaiman

At Ashaiman, Voting at the Divine Healers polling stations A and B delayed because ballot boxes for the presidential and parliamentary had no covers.

The situation created confusion when the GNA visited the station at 0900 hours with voters shouting "no cover no vote." Mr Alfred Agbesi, the MP for Ashaiman who rushed to the station, supported the voters not to vote if the matter was not rectified. Elsewhere at five polling stations at the Ashaiman Primary School as at 0800 hours voting was yet to start creating confusion. Some voters who claimed to have joined the queues at 0300 hours blamed the electoral officials and the security personnel for the delay. Mr Mohammed Nanlayo, presiding officer of polling station two, said all the five centres were yet to receive indelible ink and screens for voting to start.

Five Parliamentary candidates contesting the Ashaiman seat are Francis Bernard Anyinatoe NPP, Samson Asaki Awingobit, PNC, Alfred Kwame Agbesi, NDC, John Apedo, DFP and Phoyon Isaac Bruce-Mensah, CPP.
