Politics Elections Progress 6 Accra

There was virtually no queue at most of the polling stations that GNA visited at the Okaikoi South constituency in the Greater Accra Region.

Bishop Boys A and B and St. Theresa's School A and B polling stations in the Bubuii and North Kaneshie electoral areas remained empty at 0948 hours when GNA went back to those polling stations. Voters trickled in leisurely to cast their votes. Mr Daniel Lordson, Presiding Officer at the Bishop Boys B polling station, explained that most people rushed to cast their votes on December 7 only to realize that the place was virtually empty in the afternoon.

"So we are hoping that this time round, people are waiting to come out in the afternoon to cast their votes," he said.

At the time GNA arrived at the polling station, 344 people had cast their votes out of 1,235 registered voters while at the Bishop Boys A centre, 362 had people cast their votes out of 1,365 registered voters.

Earlier, Salifu Abdul-Rahman, Presiding Officer at the St. Theresa's School A polling centre, told the GNA that the voting process was going on smoothly.

He said a lot of people came very early to cast their votes and

expressed the hope that more people would come in later. Mr Napoleon Wilson, Presiding Officer at the Kaneshie

Primary 1 and 4 B polling station, complained that the transfer list

for his station did not arrive early, thus delaying the process for

those on that list. He said 531 people had cast their votes as at 0930 hours out

of a total of 1,903 registered voters. Meanwhile, 362 people had voted out of 1,810 registered

voters at the Kaneshie Primary 1 and 4 A polling station.
