Sun, 7 Dec 2008 Source: GNA

Voting started at exactly 0700 hours at Bishop Boys B polling station at Bubuii electoral area in the Okaikoi South Constituency. As at 0900 hours, 133 voters out of 1,235 registered voters had cast their votes.

Ms. Monica Koranteng, the presiding officer told the GNA that materials arrived on time and voting was proceeding smoothly. Mr. Alex Ahinkora, a businessman told the GNA in an interview that queues started forming at the polling station from 0400 hours at dawn and complained of the slow nature of the voting process. At the Bishop Boys A station, Mr. Daniel Lordson, Presiding Officer told the GNA that voting was delayed 15 minutes due to late arrival of voting materials.

He said so far, 245 people had voted out of a total number of 1,355 registered voters. He assured that the polling station had enough materials to take care of all voters.

Some of the voters could not locate their polling centres. Some claimed they voted at the same polling station last four years and others said they registered there but their polling station numbers and codes were different from that of Bishop Boys A polling station. Mr. Lordson therefore asked them to check from other polling stations in the constituency.
