Voting - La, Accra

Mr Ebenezer Tagoe, a resident of La in the La Dade Kotonpon constituency, apart from being the first voter to cast his ballot at the Olympia Cinema polling station at La, took his civic duties further by arriving as early as 0100 hours to clean up and arrange benches at the polling station.

He told the GNA in an interview, after casting his ballot, that he resides at Nungua in the Krowor constituency but has his vote at La. He said he took it upon himself to arrive early morning to set up the place to ensure a smooth voting process and clean environment for a peaceful election.

When the GNA arrived at the Olympia Cinema polling station at La before 0700 hours long queues had already been formed before 0400 hours. An elderly woman, Madam Helena Sowah, who had joined the queue as early as 0200 hours said she arrived early because she wanted to be among the first voters.

She said she was looking forward to a peaceful election and had turned up early to exercise her franchise. Earlier, Reverend Enoch Nii Odoi of Obonu FM, who was present at the polling station to vote, led voters in the queue to pray around 0655 hours pleading with God for a peaceful and incidence free election throughout the country.
