The Electoral Commission (EC) has strongly denied allegations of printing excess ballot papers for the upcoming general elections.
Speaking at the launch of the National Peace Campaign on November 3, Deputy Chairman of Operations Samuel Tettey reassured the public about the integrity of the ballot printing process, noting that any surplus ballots are destroyed in the presence of political party representatives.
“The allegation of the ballot printing, which is currently in the public domain, is not true. We would like to assure the people of Ghana, that the processes are so inclusive, so participatory, open and transparent. As we speak all political parties have their agents at the printing houses” he noted.
“We also have the police at the printing houses, monitoring the process as has been the practice. All excess ballots printed are shredded in the presence of party agents and the certificate is signed” Mr. Samuel Tettey added.
He reiterated the EC’s commitment to ensuring a transparent and credible election, encouraging political parties to be cautious in their public statements.
