Elections in approximately forty districts in the Ashanti and Eastern Regions were delayed due to ballot paper errors, delays in voting material distribution, and malfunctioning Biometric Verification Devices (BVD).
Since then, stakeholders have urged the Commission to make sure that subsequent polls are free of incidents. The Coalition of Domestic Election Observers (CODEO) described as unfortunate the challenges that bedeviled the District Level Elections held nationwide on Tuesday, December 19.
The Electoral Commission (EC) will organize elections in district assemblies where the polls were postponed.
CODEO blamed the EC for not living up to its task and urged it to do better.
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) also issued a stern warning to the EC to abort any agenda to repeat the technical challenges encountered during the DLEs.
The party cautioned the EC to desist from repeating the ‘ mess’ in the 2024 polls to prevent any untoward incidents.
