Mr George Amakye Yeboah, 42, was on Thursday arrested by the Dansoman Police for voting with two separate Photo ID cards.
He had his picture on both cards, but with different names. One had Kofi Yeboah with the number C031714 aged 41, while the other bore the name George Amakye Yeboah with the number C03178 aged 42 years.
He voted at two different stations at Tunga. The GNA learnt that someone who saw him voting at both places reported him. Mr Yeboah told the Dansoman police that he registered in 1996 and voted at Osiem in the Eastern region. During the last registration exercise he could not trace his ID card, so he registered again in Accra using a different name from that used at Osiem.
He claimed that later, he found the original card and transferred his vote to Dansoman hence the two cards. The Dansoman Police said they are investigating further and would charge Yeboah for court.
Another voter Comfort Gyan with registration number C040204 was arrested at Sakumo Tso Shishi polling station at Bukom for instructing voters whom to vote for.
Meanwhile, nine registered voters with thumbprint cards have cast their votes in Ga North Constituency as at 1200. All the nine voted at the Ogbojo DC polling station.
Dr Kwadwo Afari-Gyan, EC Chairman, who visited some polling stations in the Odododiodio, Ablekuma South and the Ga North Constituencies, appealed to electoral officials to work above reproach. He said the success of the polls depends on the performance of electoral officials, party agents and the electorate.
Dr Afari-Gyan also advised against generalisation of minor irregularities that might occur at some polling stations saying, ” that could not be used as a general view of the polls”.
