16 trucks to distribute ballot boxes to polling stations to avoid delays - Krowor MCE

As part of plans to ensure that voting starts on time at various polling centres in the Krowor Constituency, Municipal Chief Executive, Joshua Bortey, has announced that the Assembly will provide 16 trucks for the distribution of ballot papers on Saturday, December 7, 2024.

He explained that these trucks will be loaded on the eve of Election Day to avoid any delays on Saturday.

Speaking to GhanaWeb’s Ernestina Serwaa Asante during the Special Voting on Tuesday, Mr. Bortey indicated that all political parties have agreed to this measure put in place by the Assembly to ensure the timely start of voting.

He said, "The Assembly will be providing about 16 trucks for distributing the ballot boxes on the 7th. However, we plan to load all the trucks on the evening of the 6th so they can move on the 7th. In the past, we loaded the trucks on the morning of the 7th, which caused delays in delivering the boxes to polling stations."

"The parties have agreed to this arrangement, and the police are in control," he added.

He also mentioned that the security agencies are prepared to carry out their duties on December 7th to ensure peaceful elections.

Ghana will head to the polls on Saturday, December 7, 2024, to elect a new president and members of parliament who will lead the country for the next four years.
