Voting has commenced at the YMCA Technical Training Centre, where the Greater Accra Regional branch of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) is holding it’s Special Electoral College polls.

The campaign team of the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) flagbearer aspirant, Alan Kyerematen, says it is hopeful that the presidential elections committee and the National Executive Council (NEC) of the party will swiftly attend to some anomalies they discovered in the register for the special delegates conference of the party.

James Gyakye Quayson of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has been given the nod again to represent the people of Assin North in the Central Region in Parliament, after a landslide victory over the governing New Patriotic Party’s Charles Opoku.

The Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has alleged the addition of what he calls “strange names” to the voters’ register to be used in Tuesday’s by-election in the Assin North constituency in the Central Region.

The National Democratic Congress says the Electoral Commission’s response to their statement on an alleged illegal plot to smuggle the name of an NPP parliamentary aspirant into the Assin North voters’ register is defective in logic and betray the Commission’s appreciation of their own criteria and elementary English language.

The Electoral Commission (EC) has debunked claims it is working with the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) to sneak an unregistered voter onto the Assin North register ahead of the by-election in the Constituency.
