The limited voter registration exercise in Bimbilla, Northern Region, faced an unexpected halt due to a technical issue affecting the printing of voter cards.

Despite the registration kick-off, not a single card had been printed, attributed to a nationwide technical problem, according to the Electoral Commission (EC) boss.

Meanwhile, tension flared between supporters of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Awutu Senya West over registration priority.

The exercise, which commenced smoothly on Tuesday morning, saw confusion arise as both parties sought to prioritize their members' registration.

Adom News' Kofi Adjei reported a queue system in place for applicants, but NPP executives allegedly attempted to have their supporters registered first, citing early arrival.

The NDC resisted, leading to heated exchanges, ultimately requiring police intervention to restore order at the registration center.
