An Electoral Commission (EC) official stationed at the Yendi New Patriotic Party (NPP) primaries has been arrested by the police for allegedly pocketing ballot papers during the counting process.
The situation created some confusion at the venue which halted the counting process due to the destruction of the counted ballot papers and some election materials.
According to JoyNews’ Martina Bugri, currently, all the ballots have been destroyed while other properties at the scene were vandalized.
The EC official was also beaten to a pulp and media personnel attacked.
Meanwhile, the police have apprehended some perpetrators.
The said EC official has since been arrested and transported to the Yendi police station.
Supporters of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for MASLOC, Mrs. Abibata Shanni Zakariah Mahama, claimed that the ballot papers pocketed by the said EC official belonged to their candidate and attacked him.
It is, however, unclear if the NPP primaries will continue due to the destruction of the ballot papers.
