EC to address ballot paper error
Officials of the Electoral Commission (EC) in the
Ashanti Region have said that concerns expressed
by the main opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP)
in connection with the omission of some
inscriptions on the parliamentary ballot papers to
be used for this year’s elections, will be
addressed at its national headquarters in Accra.

The party rejected the parliamentary ballot papers
over the omissions.

The regional chairman of the NPP, Bernard Antwi
Boasiako, led a protest at the regional office of
the EC to that effect.

According to the party, the initials of the NPP
were missing on the ballot papers.

The party said it did not understand why the
initials of all the other contesting parties
appeared except those of the NPP.

But the Ashanti Regional Director of the EC has
assured the party officials that they “will
communicate the development to our head office and
get back to you”.

He further explained that “the NPP agents were
at the printing house” and wondered why the
officials did not raise such concerns before
printing.
