Officials of the Electoral Commission (EC) in the Ashanti Region have said that concerns expressed by the main opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) in connection with the omission of some inscriptions on the parliamentary ballot papers to be used for this year’s elections, will be addressed at its national headquarters in Accra.
The party rejected the parliamentary ballot papers over the omissions.
The regional chairman of the NPP, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, led a protest at the regional office of the EC to that effect.
According to the party, the initials of the NPP were missing on the ballot papers.
The party said it did not understand why the initials of all the other contesting parties appeared except those of the NPP.
But the Ashanti Regional Director of the EC has assured the party officials that they “will communicate the development to our head office and get back to you”.
He further explained that “the NPP agents were at the printing house” and wondered why the officials did not raise such concerns before printing.

Why are we doing significant error on important documents like the voters register and ballot papers???. EC refused to accept nomination forms os presidential aspirants due to errors yet the same body commit unimaginable error on ballot sheets. Incredible!. What is happening to this country, what is happening to our intellectuals???. People deem to know better are commiting this error. so there are no check and balances before these papers are let out. SHAME UNTO THE EC AS A BODY. and to no other party than the NPP. I smell foul play.
It should be noted that every party submit their logos and pictures to the EC to be put on the ballot paper. The NPP should tell us what they submit to the EC. And the EC too should tell the us what they recieve from NPP. Then we can know if the EC deliberately remove the initials of NPP. Else the EC should not waste Tax payers money to re-print ballot pappers.
When this bias towards NPP will stop EC? to be honest EC Boss is disgrace to woman*hood as she is always being bias when it comes to NPP. Ballot papers too no NPP been written on its symbol...too shameful. EC Boss please backup this is too much.
