In a move to maintain the integrity of Ghana’s electoral process, the Ghana Police Service has arrested a polling station agent for allegedly engaging in double voting.
The incident occurred at the Wassa Akropong-Appiahkrom polling station A in the Western Region during the ongoing general elections.
The suspect, identified as Kwofie Stephen, is currently in police custody and is assisting with the investigation.
This swift action by the police serves as a deterrent to others who may attempt to compromise the electoral process.
This incident is not isolated, as there have been other reports of electoral malpractices in the country.
For instance, 88 individuals were recently arrested for allegedly being recruited to provide unauthorized security at polling stations.
Additionally, there have been cases of voters taking photos of their ballot papers, which is a breach of electoral laws.
The Electoral Commission and the Ghana Police Service have been working tirelessly to ensure a peaceful and transparent electoral process.
The arrest of Kwofie Stephen is a testament to their commitment to upholding the integrity of the elections.
As Ghana continues to navigate the electoral process, it is essential that all stakeholders, including voters, polling agents, and security personnel, adhere to the electoral laws and regulations to ensure a free and fair election.
