Voting started smoothly at the Odododiodio constituency in
the Greater Accra Region without the long queues that
characterized the first round of elections on December 7. As at 0745 hours when GNA visited the Old Ga Manste Court
polling station with number C050107 in the Ngleshie electoral
area, Miss Patience Opare, Presiding Officer, said there were
adequate electoral materials and 58 out of 632 eligible voters had
cast their ballots. “We hope that by noon majority of the people would have
come to vote” she said. At the T.B. Bukom Park and Sakumo Tso Shishi Palace polling stations, voters were seen in the queues waiting patiently
for their turn to cast their ballot. Mr Bright Hammond, Presiding Officer at the Sakumo Tso
Shishi, said there was no difference in terms of voter turn-out compared to the first round.
“Voting is going on smoothly and there are no problems with voters without ID cards as encountered during the first round where some people mentioned different names from what was on the register,” he said.
Both parties had their polling agents at all the stations visited
and there were both local and international observers as well as
personnel from the various security agencies.
