Mahama demands that discrepancies in the ballot paper be looked thoroughly.

An immediate probe into the circumstances surrounding unauthorized people' possession of unlawful ballot papers during the recently concluded elections has been demanded by President-elect John Mahama. In his remarks, Mr. Mahama urged strict measures to solve ballot paper security concerns, which he says compromise the electoral process's integrity, during a visit from members of minority political parties. There have been rumors that police arrested a number of people during the election for supposedly having a lot of thumbprinted ballots. The persistent issues with ballot paper handling and printing, which Mr. Mahama feels may be a factor in electoral fraud, are a source of concern.

Because we frequently find persons with EC ballots, real ballots, and the concerns we need to look into, there are still problems with ballot paper stuffing and printing. How are these ballots obtained? For them, who prints them? Who distributes these ballots to these individuals? He said, "How do they obtain the Electoral Commission's plate so that they can print ballot papers?" He urged a thorough examination of these problems, stressing how important it is to preserve the process's integrity going ahead. In addition, he questioned the Electoral Commission's ability to print locally, raising the possibility that the nation may reevaluate its reliance on domestic printing firms to create ballots.

"We might need to look at printing these ballots outside and bringing them in if we continue to encounter situations where duplicates leak," he said. The president-elect emphasized that in order to avoid additional threats to the integrity of the election, the issue of ballot paper leaks had to be fixed. Additionally, he urged security printers to cooperate and make sure that improved security measures are put in place. "They have to stop these problems if they don't want to lose business because they are undermining the electoral process," Mahama stated.

Concerns regarding inconsistencies in the pink sheets used to document voting results were also voiced by president-elect John Mahama, who pointed out that parties and the Electoral Commission occasionally displayed conflicting copies of the sheets at the coalition center. He emphasized the necessity of resolving these concerns in order to preserve the legitimacy of Ghana's electoral process, speculating that this would point to possible result manipulation by electoral officials.
