Police, EC meet over attempt to prevent transfer of special voting ballots in Adaklu

The Adaklu District Police Commander, and the Volta Regional Police Commander, together with leaders of some political parties and the Electoral Commission have met over the planned relocation of special voting ballots which were kept at the Adaklu Waya police station.

On Wednesday evening, National Democratic Congress (NDC) supporters at Adaklu Waya massed up at the community's Police Station to protest the relocation of the ballots.

The Volta Regional NDC supported the action of the youth.

The Police had argued that it did not have the requisite numbers at the police station to protect the ballots in case of any attack.

Speaking to Citi News the Adaklu Constituency Secretary of the NDC, Charles Agbesi, said the supporters were still awaiting the outcome of the meeting on the relocation of the ballots.

He said the NDC also wanted to place its own safeguards on the ballots.

“We indicated to the police and EC that we are requesting to affix our seal and a lock on the gates of the police armoury which they said they are considering and will get back to us.”

“We are at the police station waiting for the other parties to come so that is where we are now. We are still here [at the police station] ensuring that nothing is done behind us,” he added.
